Hand ranges and their ranked percentile question

#1 6th October 2009, 3:44 AM

Is there a chart out in this pokerworld that matches up your hole cards likelyhood of being dealt as a percentile? For example you get pocket Aces about once every 200 hands so someone that ONLY raises KK and AA PF would raise once every 100 hands. That means their PFR stat is 1% and these cards are in the top 1 percentile. Now is there a chart telling me about what cards are in the 5th percentile? 10th percentile? 20th percentile?

Instead of what you've asked for, download pokerstove (free). You can plug in percentages and see what hands fall in those percentages. I just plugged in5%; it shows that range as 99+,AJs+,KQs,AKo.

There is an equal chance of getting any two cards preflop, whether that be AA or 27, you should get the same amount of good hands and bad ones as everybody else. over time, the luck factor evens out and all that is left are the numbers and the skill.
there are 1,326 different hands you can get preflop, this includes all the different suites (many hands are identicle in strength but are just suited differently) and you have an equal chance of getting dealt each one.

Based on Blieve's op, I'm assuming he's trying to identify villain hand ranges based on the percentage of the time they open raise pf by position. This is a really good exercise - if you get a good handle on what kinds of hands villain is likely to hold, you can make better decisions.

From what I understand u can be dealt 2-7 16 different ways but AA only 12 ways. I dont know the math behind this but I think its either combination or permutation.

Yes right on except pokerstove doesnt factor human decisions like stack size pot size and player types...good for regs

there are 1326 different hands to start with. you can get a pair of aces six ways. so 6/1326 x 100 = .45% of the time your dealt AA. any unpaired hand can be made 16 ways and works out to be 1.2% of the time. so you can add .45% for every pair in his range and 1.2% for every unpaired hand like AK. and .3% for every suited unpaired hand. so if you see a hand range of 3% you might guess it to be AA-JJ(1.8%) and AK(1.2%).
