Free Live Preflop Ranges
Interactive opening-range charts for live cash — 9-max and 6-max, 200bb deep, and adjustable for table type. Free, no signup, no download.
Live cash · open to 4BB. Pick a table size and position to see exactly which hands to open.
Base = solver baseline · Passive = vs callers/limpers · Aggro = vs frequent 3-bettors · 200bb
These are free preflop opening ranges (RFI — raise-first-in) for live cash games, built at 200bb, the depth you'll most often sit at live. Pick a table size (9-max or 6-max), a position, and a table type, and the grid shows exactly which hands to open: solid = open, split = mixed frequency, muted = fold. Everything runs in your browser — no signup, no download, no email.

How to use these charts
- Choose your table size — 9-max (full ring) or 6-max. Positions relabel automatically.
- Pick the position you're acting from.
- Set the scenario to match your table (Base, Passive, or Aggressive).
Read the colors: solid cells are pure opens, split cells are mixed-frequency opens, and muted cells are folds. The stat line shows how often you'll be opening from that seat.
Why live preflop ranges differ from online
Live cash plays differently from online, and your opening ranges should reflect that. Three things drive the gap:
- Deeper stacks. Live games commonly run 200bb+ where online sits at 100bb. Deep stacks reward suited, connected, and pair hands with strong implied odds, and slightly devalue offsuit high-card hands that make non-nut top pairs.
- More multiway pots. Live tables see more callers, so hands that make nutted, disguised holdings — suited connectors, suited aces, small pairs hunting sets — hold their value, while domination-prone offsuit broadways lose it.
- Looser, more passive pools. Less 3-betting means you can open a touch wider and lean on realizing equity after the flop.
These ranges are tuned for that environment — not lifted from a 100bb online solve.
Adjusting for your table — passive vs aggressive
Most free charts hand you one fixed range. These don't. Use the scenario toggle:
- Passive — for loose, calling-heavy tables with little 3-betting. Opens wider toward suited, connected, and pair hands that get paid in multiway pots.
- Aggressive — for tables with frequent 3-betting. Tightens up, trimming the marginal and domination-prone hands that play poorly against re-raises — early positions get cut the most.
- Base — the solver-style baseline in between.
Start from Base, then shift toward your read on the table.
Frequently asked questions
Are these preflop ranges really free?
Yes. Every range, position, table size, and scenario is free, with no signup, email, or download required.
Are these for live or online poker?
They are built for live cash games at 200bb, but they also work well for deep-stacked online cash. They are opening (RFI) ranges, meaning the hands to raise with when the pot is unopened.
Do they cover 6-max and 9-max?
Both. You can toggle between 9-max full ring and 6-max, and the positions relabel automatically.
What stack depth are they for?
200 big blinds, the most common live cash setup. Deeper stacks favor suited and speculative hands with strong implied odds.
Can I use these at the casino?
They are for off-table study. Most card rooms do not allow strategy charts at the table, so learn the ranges and play them from memory.
Are these GTO or exploitative?
Both. Base is a solver-style baseline, while the Passive and Aggressive scenarios layer exploitative adjustments on top for your specific table type.
