Default Re: Percentage of playable hands



There are 6 of each pair, 4 of each suited, and 12 of each non-suited hand. Add up the total hands in each group, then the total you'll play in each position. Then divide by the total hands 1326. This will give a good idea how often you "should" expect to play, although the actual number is less since, for instance, you won't be calling raises late with group 5 hands.


Controversial opinion: Playable hands early is probably less than 5%. Playable hands on the button should be about 40% when nobody is in, about 25% over-all.


15% voluntary at a 10 handed table overall is "reasonably" selective. This should result in about a win rate of 2 hands/hour (2/3rds of your "fair share") in a reasonably good loose game.
