Hand vs Range Preflop Equity

Why hand-vs-range is the number that matters

Hand-vs-hand equity is the number everyone quotes, and it is almost never the number you need. When a player 3-bets you, they do not hold one specific hand — they hold a distribution. AK against pocket queens is a well-known 43.9%, but AK against the whole range a regular actually 3-bets for value is a completely different figure, because that range also contains hands AK dominates.

These pages answer the question you actually face at the table: given the action, what does my hand do against everything they could be holding? Each page shows the headline equity, the exact composition of the range it was computed against, and — the useful part — which specific hands inside that range crush you and which ones you beat.

Card removal is applied

If you hold two aces, your opponent cannot also hold two of them. Blockers change range composition materially, and a calculation that ignores them is wrong. Every page reports how many combos of the range survive card removal against your specific hand, and how many were blocked. Against a tight 4-bet range this frequently removes a fifth of the combos, which moves the equity by several points.

Ranges covered

• Opening ranges — UTG, MP, CO, BTN, and SB, from a tight 15% early-position open out to a 44% button steal.
• 3-bet ranges — a merged value range and a bluff-weighted one, because your equity against them differs enormously.
• 4-bet ranges — the roughly 3% of hands that get all the money in preflop.
• Shove ranges — 10bb and 20bb jams for tournament and satellite spots.
• Player archetypes — a loose-passive calling range and a nit range, for the reads you actually get in a live game.

Every range's exact hand list is printed on the page. A range equity with an invisible range is worthless, so you can always check what the number was computed against and disagree with the construction if you want to.
