Graph range vs range

The Equity Graph in the Strategies section gives you a fast, visual way to compare both players' ranges and understand where the real equity advantage sits on any flop, turn, or river. Instead of digging through tables or guessing which range dominates, you can see the full equity distribution in seconds.

What You're Looking At

The Equity Graph shows equity distribution from 0% (weakest hands) to 100% (strongest hands). It displays two curves, one for each player, showing how their ranges perform across all percentiles.

The horizontal axis represents range percentiles, from the strongest hands on the left to the weakest on the right.

The vertical axis shows equity percentage. Where one curve sits above the other, that player has the equity advantage for that portion of their range.

The graph updates automatically as you move through the decision tree. Click a different node, and the curves adjust instantly to reflect the new situation.

How It Works

When you analyze any postflop spot in the Strategies section, the Equity Graph appears in the right panel. Hover over any point on the graph to see detailed information.

A vertical line appears with a tooltip showing a sample hand from that percentile and its exact equity. This lets you quickly check specific parts of the range without losing the big picture.

You can see at a glance whether one range dominates across the board or if the equity advantage shifts at different strength levels.

Why This Matters

Understanding range advantage is critical for making good decisions. The Equity Graph helps you build better intuition for how ranges interact and understand the why behind GTO strategy.

You can see immediately if you have a range advantage or disadvantage. You can spot where your range is strongest and where it's weakest. You can understand why GTO bets, checks, or folds in certain spots based on how the equity curves look.

This visual approach makes pattern recognition much faster. Instead of studying hundreds of individual hands, you see the structure of the entire matchup in one graph.

Range vs Range Analysis

The Equity Graph is designed for Range vs Range comparison. It doesn't focus on individual hand strength. It shows how two full ranges stack up against each other across all equity percentiles.This is more useful than studying individual hands because poker is a game of ranges, not specific holdings.

When you make a decision, you're not just thinking about your exact hand. You're thinking about your entire range and how it performs against your opponent's range.

The graph makes this comparison instant and visual. You can see the full picture without doing mental math or scrolling through tables.

Building Intuition

Regular use of the Equity Graph helps you develop a deeper understanding of PLO. You'll start to recognize patterns. Certain board textures favor the in-position player. Certain preflop actions create equity advantages that persist through multiple streets.

These patterns become second nature. When you're at the table and facing a decision, you'll have an intuitive sense of whether you have a range advantage or not. That intuition comes from studying the Equity Graph and seeing how ranges interact across hundreds of different spots.

Using It with Other Tools

The Equity Graph works best when combined with Range View and Matrix View.

Use Range View to see individual hand frequencies and EVs. Use Matrix View to see which hands cluster together. Use the Equity Graph to see the overall range matchup.

Each tool gives you a different perspective on the same situation. Together, they create a complete picture of optimal play.

The Hand Categories panel also complements the Equity Graph. You can filter by hand type and see how specific categories contribute to the overall equity distribution.
