Hi guys,
When I started playing tournaments, I realized how difficult it was to find the right hands for every position. Together with my coach, I have compiled a convenient table for beginners:

You choose a position and hand → the chart instantly shows whether it is open or declined.

It is based on universal 9-max ranges for 40BB (tight-neutral style) stacks.

Very simple and beginner-friendly, yet powerful enough to avoid major mistakes.


I personally use this chart in my game and it has helped me a lot.
If anyone is interested, I can share it here and explain how to use it.

👉 Would you like me to post this?

That is the most complicated looking chart I’ve ever seen, why not just post a normal chart? I can’t make heads or tails out of it.

Cool graphic, what I didn't understand was the position on the table.

Классная графика, но я не понял, как она расположена на
In the second window, I chose a position and received an equity for all cases

The model its clearly incomplete but I can see were are you going with this. Interesting even if at some point you will have al this implemented in you head and never use the template again.

Be careful, most sites expressly forbid the use of charts and particularly Real-Time Assistance (RTA) tools which assist in decisions.
If they discover you are using this is in game they will ban you.

It's a good initiative, but there's easier ways to study with charts.
I'd recommend to get some charts already made, for each position if you want to, and add the images to an excel or a word document. It will be more helpful.

Or just don't use it while playing.
