Poker Stats To Memorize
Have you ever found yourself mid-game staring at your HUD while facing an open from a player with an RFI stat of 21% and thought to yourself, “What hands are in his range?” Or while playing live, have you estimated that your opponent calls an open 40% of the time but didn’t know what hands comprise that range?
Well, I’ll show you the easy way to learn poker ranges for quick reference in the future.

First, here’s a Poker Range Chromatic I created for my own use:
I wanted to learn where each hand falls within a range and the above is what I came up with. I used Flopzilla to figure out which hands fall within each percentage grouping. I just started with a 5% range, then went by 5’s up to 40%, then followed that with 10’s up through 60% then 75%. I used color coding to help visualize the ranges.
Poker Maths is mainly used when we need to hit a card in order to make our hand into a winning hand, and we have to decide whether it is worth carrying on and chasing that card. To make this decision we consider two elements: How many “Outs” we have (Cards that will make us a winning hand) and how likely it is that an Out will be dealt. With the CardPlayer.com Poker Stats Tracker, you can: - Track your online and live poker results - View charts, graphs, and stats for tournaments and cash games.
- There are, sadly, very few questions on poker.SE and this looks like a perfectly valid question: starting hand charts and 'memo-technique' tricks to remember them may be a cool addition to the site. To me it's a +1 and not a vote for close.
- Each poker deck has fifty-two cards, each designated by one of four suits (clubs, diamonds, hearts and spades) and one of thirteen ranks (the numbers two through ten, Jack, Queen, King, and Ace). Therefore, the odds of getting any Ace as your first card are 1 in 13 (7.7%), while the odds of getting any spade as your first card are 1 in 4 (25%).
I then took the following steps to learn the ranges:
- Printed the chromatic I made, laminated and posted it on the side of my computer monitor for quick in-game reference.
- Created 11 flash cards for use each night as part of my warm-up, and I put the following on them:
- For one week during my study session I would do a hand history review from the previous night’s session and each time I faced an open I looked at their RFI Stat in that position and determined what range it fell under. I would say aloud, “20% in the CO… that’s 22+, A7s+, ATo+, K9s+, KTo+, Q9s, QTo+, JTo and 98s+.” That’s all there was to it. After that first week I got them all down. This is especially helpful when playing live as I can’t glance to the side of my screen to get an estimate on an opp’s range. Now, it’s easier to remember the bottom of the ranges as you’re trying to learn these. So, when thinking about 20%, the bottoms are 33, A7s, ATo, Q9s, JTo and 98s. If you just remember those 6 hands for 20%, you know it includes everything better than those. So if the question arises for a hand like K8s, you know that K9s is the bottom at 25% and K7s is the bottom of 30%, so it’s within the 30% range and just under the 25% range.
Please let me know if you would make tweaks to these ranges as I always love feedback.
