It is sized to print perfectly on one sheet of paper, making it handy to live in front of your monitor and serve as a non-verbal guilt-maker for playing that 4♣- 3♥with a black rating.

These charts won’t tell you, “Play this hand and not this one,” but they’ll rank which hands win more than others statistically. That’s been done to death and I’m not terribly interested in repeating it. If I’m just giving opinions I can make an opinion-based starting Hold’em hand chart and be done with it. You and I might realistically know that pocket Aces are almost never going to play to a showdown against 7-2 offsuit, but if you try to limit simulations to hands that are likely to meet you’ve introduced opinion to data.
