Preflop Coach Open the trainer

Poker opening ranges (RFI) by position

Which hands to raise with when nobody has entered the pot yet, for every seat at a 100bb table. These are the ranges the Preflop Coach grades against, produced using live MTT solver output rather than derived from a published opening percentage.

Read each chart the usual way: pairs run down the diagonal, suited hands sit above it, offsuit hands below. Highlighted cells are raises; everything else folds.

Common questions

Why does the opening range get wider in later positions?
Fewer players remain behind you, so there is less chance someone wakes up with a strong hand, and you are more likely to have position after the flop. Under the Gun opens about 16% of hands; the Button opens about 53%.
Are these ranges for cash games or tournaments?
Tournaments. They are ChipEV-oriented and do not model ICM, so they are not tuned for final-table pay-jump spots or for cash-game rake.
Why do two similar hands sometimes differ?
Solver ranges are not a smooth cut of the top X% of hands. Blockers, suitedness and how a hand plays after the flop can put one hand in the range and its apparent neighbour out of it.
