Method, not magic

What this board is telling you

The grid gives a memorable default for common preflop spots. Opening ranges follow widely taught 100 bb 6-max conventions; responses to raises and limpers are intentionally simplified so a learner can act without memorising hundreds of solver mixes.

01Use the big action

If one action dominates, learn that first. Tiny mixes matter far less at a real table.

02Respect position

Later seats can play more hands because fewer players remain and you act later postflop.

03Adjust with evidence

Exploit a stable tendency. “Fold-happy” adds pressure; “call-happy” removes thin bluffs.

“Always” is rare in poker. A recommendation here is a training baseline, not a guarantee of profit.
