Analyse preflop actions by seat and stack
Read opportunities, GTO comparisons and trends, then inspect the hands behind a statistic.

Choose a table
Open Hand & Action Analysis → Preflop Analysis. The upper position matrix has 16 metrics for the selected stack band. The lower pressure table has 9 metrics across all depths in the current filtered pool, with IP/OOP breakdowns. Their different scopes can produce different values.
Stack bands and seat groups
MTT bands in BB are: 10 below 15; 20 from 15 to below 30; 40 from 30 to below 60; 80 from 60 to below 90; and 100 at 90 or above. Cash uses the 100 band. Changing bands clears selected rows in the upper table.
EP combines EP, UTG, UTG1 and UTG2. MP combines MP, LJ and HJ. The remaining columns are CO, BTN, SB and BB. A position column can therefore represent several seats.
Read frequencies, opportunities and targets
A percentage is matching actions n ÷ eligible opportunities m × 100. The denominator is usually not all hands. Read n/m before comparing frequencies; missing data or no opportunities is not 0%.
Position-cell targets come from a matching strategy. Hover to check table size, depth, rake and any approximate match. Arrows compare displayed values at their rounded precision. Green means at or above the target, not better play: 26.4% versus 22.1% establishes a frequency difference only.
Read cumulative trends
Select rows to chart cumulative changes as hands accumulate; use Ctrl, Shift or drag selection to compare rows. Upper-table trends follow the stack band; lower-table trends use the full filtered pool. Points are normally sampled every 10 hands up to 10000 hands and every 100 hands for larger samples, with the final change point retained.
Inspect related hands
Right-click a value and select Show Hands. A total uses that table's scope; a position cell also restricts seat and stack band, while a lower-table IP/OOP cell restricts relative position. Use the list to inspect matching actions, not to infer the total opportunity count.
Metric definitions
Position matrix
| # | Metric | Abbreviation | Definition and eligible opportunities |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Voluntarily put money in pot | VPiP | Voluntarily put money in pot rate among hands where Hero made a preflop decision; big-blind walks are excluded. |
| 2 | Preflop raised | PFR | Preflop raise rate when Hero can raise above the current live price against a live opponent with chips to continue. |
| 3 | Raise First In | RFI | Hero raises first into an unopened pot. The rate uses first-in opportunities. |
| 4 | Open Raise | OR | Hero makes the first preflop raise. This includes a raise after limpers and excludes a later re-raise. |
| 5 | Called preflop raise | CPFR | Hero calls a preflop raise. The rate uses eligible preflop calling opportunities. |
| 6 | Call Open Raise | COR | The denominator is opportunities where Hero's first preflop decision faces the first raise and no player has called it; the numerator is Hero's calls in those opportunities. Branches where Hero checked earlier, overcalls, squeezes, and multi-raise branches are excluded. |
| 7 | 3Bet Preflop | 3Bet | 3-bet frequency when facing a preflop raise. |
| 8 | Direct 3Bet Preflop | D3B | Hero makes the first re-raise after one open raise and before another player calls. The rate uses direct 3Bet opportunities. |
| 9 | Limp | Limp | Hero voluntarily calls before any raise from a non-blind seat. Small-blind completions and big-blind checks are excluded. The rate uses eligible limping opportunities. |
| 10 | Unraised call / blind completion | URC | Hero calls an unraised pot or completes the blind. The rate uses eligible unraised-call opportunities. |
| 11 | Fold to 3-bet preflop | F3B | Hero folds after facing a preflop 3Bet. The rate uses eligible fold-to-3Bet opportunities. |
| 12 | Folded to 4-bet preflop | F4B | Hero folds after facing a preflop 4Bet. The rate uses eligible fold-to-4Bet opportunities. |
| 13 | Opener 4Bet | O4B | Hero made the first raise, no player called it, then faced a 3Bet and made a 4Bet. |
| 14 | Opener Fold to 3Bet | OF3B | Hero made the first raise, no player called it, then folded to a 3Bet. Squeeze branches are excluded. |
| 15 | Squeeze | SQZ | Hero re-raises after an open raise and at least one call. The rate uses eligible squeeze opportunities. |
| 16 | Fold to squeeze | F2SQZ | Hero folds after facing a preflop squeeze. The rate uses eligible fold-to-squeeze opportunities. |
Pressure table
Direct3Bet, F3B, H2nLimp, UnraisedCall, F4B, SQZ and F2SQZ use the corresponding definitions above. D3B / Direct3Bet, Limp / H2nLimp and URC / UnraisedCall are different abbreviations across the two tables. C3B counts calls facing a 3bet; LF counts folds after limping. Each uses its own eligible opportunities.

Missing targets or data
For a missing GTO target, inspect strategy coverage and matching details. Imported action statistics remain separate from that target. For an unexpected percentage, check the table's stack scope, n/m and related hands before interpreting a change.
