Preflop charts (or preflop ranges) describe with what hands in what situations what actions should be taken.
Preflop is a crucial street in any poker game type. It's the first betting round, and your actions here build a foundation for the following streets - Flop, Turn and River. Slight mistake on a Preflop won't cost you much at a first glance. But if we analyze the hand further, you'll notice that small mistakes on the Preflop often turn into huge losses on the River.
In Multi Table Tournaments (MTT) preflop becomes even more complex. A lot of parameters influence on your decisions, such as:
It's very hard to keep all these parameters in your head real-time. Because of that, players create Preflop Charts.
Our basic poker charts for MTT game type represent a preflop strategy for all the positions and all the possible stack sizes depths from 1 to 50 BB.
In this article, we won't go through all the possible scenarios. To give you a good understanding of how the ranges works, we'll walk through 50 BB deep ranges for all positions, as well as Push-Fold scenarios for 6-10 BB deep.
