An interactive preflop range chart for tournament poker. In Open-Raise mode, pick a position and stack depth to see exactly which hands to raise first-in. In Facing a Raise mode, see which hands to 3-bet, which to flat call, and which to fold against an opener. These are the same GTO-approximate ranges drilled in the preflop trainer.
A preflop range chart is a 13×13 grid of every possible starting hand in Texas Hold'em, color-coded to show what to do with each one in a specific situation. Pairs run down the diagonal (AA in the top-left to 22 in the bottom-right), suited hands sit in the upper-right triangle, and offsuit hands fill the lower-left. Reading a chart at a glance is one of the fastest ways to fix preflop leaks.
This chart has two modes. Open-Raise (RFI) — short for "raise first in" — shows the hands you should open-raise when the action folds to you. Facing a Raise shows your response when someone opens before you: which hands become 3-bets (re-raises), which are profitable flat calls, and which to fold. Every range here mirrors the data used by our preflop range trainer, so what you study on this page is exactly what you'll be quizzed on there.
The single biggest factor in your opening range is position. The later you sit, the fewer players can wake up with a strong hand behind you, so the wider you can profitably open:
Step the position selector from UTG to the button above and watch the gold region expand. That visual is the whole lesson of positional opening in one motion.
Stack depth is the second lever. Deep (75bb) you can play more speculative hands — suited connectors and small pairs have the implied odds to win a big pot when they hit. As stacks shorten toward 15bb, those hands lose value and ranges tighten and polarize toward high-card strength, because you can't profitably see flops and fold. Below ~12bb you're in push/fold territory entirely.
Switch to Facing a Raise mode and the matrix splits into three colors: gold hands are 3-bets, blue hands are flat calls, and dark hands are folds. The mix depends on the matchup and depth. In position against a late-position opener you can flat a wide band of playable hands; out of position, or at shorter stacks, more of your continuing range shifts into 3-bet-or-fold because flatting out of position is hard to play well. The big blind is the widest defender because it's getting a price to call and closes the action.
Reading a chart is step one. Drilling it until the right play is automatic is step two.
