[h2]Players View[/h2] Range Wizard will begin searching the HM3 database for players that match the view filters, starting with the players with the most hands.

The Players tab shows players that match each view filter.

Click on the Hole Cards tab to display the Hole Cards view.


[Hole cards view] [h2]View Headers[/h2] The view headers show general information about each view, including
  • The name of the view
  • The stat filter
  • The currently selected stat and its value
  • The number of shown down hole cards

[Left view header]


[Right view header]

We will describe the “Show difference” check box in a later section. [h2]Estimated Hand Ranges[/h2] The hands grid provides estimated hand ranges for the selected action.


[Estimated hand range]

By default, a weighted hand range is displayed. A 100% hand means that hand is always in the hand range. A 75% hand means the hand is played 75% of the time. Then hands grid can optionally show other values, which is described later.

Estimated hand ranges are based only on hands that reached show down, since for opponents that is all the information we have. [h2]Filters[/h2] Filters determine what hand range is displayed.


[Hole card filters]

The action filter sets the stat used to estimate the hand range. The actions combo box lists popular or recent actions.


[Action filters]

You can select from many stats by clicking on the select stats button.


[Select actions]

The positions filter sets the preflop positions included in the hand range. By default, all positions are included.


[Position filters]

Click on the actions filter, select the PFR stat, and click the Apply button. Range Wizard will recalculate the hand range based on PFR.


[Estimated hand ranges for PFR] [h2]Display Options[/h2] The “Show” combo box provides other display options.


[Display options]

Available options include
  • Weighted hand range – Each hand is weighted by the probability of it being played
  • Hand range – The hand range where each hand is either always or never played
  • Actual hand counts – The number of times each hand was shown
  • Unbiased hand counts – The number of times each hand was shown adjusted for the probability of each hand being dealt.
  • Adjusted hand counts – A smoothed version of the unbiased hand counts where each hand count is averaged with adjacent hands.
Since there are 12 combinations of each unsuited hand, 6 combinations of each pair, and 4 combinations of each suited hand, the actual hand counts are biased toward unsuited hands and pairs. The unbiased hand counts adjust for this and estimated hand ranges are based on unbiased hand counts.

Try playing with the show option. Here is an example of the unbiased hand count option.


[Unbiased hand counts] [h2]Copy Hand Range to Clipboard[/h2] Between the view head and the hole cards grid is a text representation of the hand range in Flopzilla format.


[Hand range text]

Clicking the button to the right will copy the hand range text to the clipboard. The hand range can then be pasted into any program that accepts Flopzilla formatted hand ranges. [h2]Show Differences[/h2] The “Show differences” check box provides a visual representation of the differences between the two views.


[Show differences]

Click on the check box to view the differences.


[Hand range differences]

Green hands are player more often in this view than the other view. Red hands are played less often than the other view.

Next tutorial: Tutorial 3: Stats View
The Stats view displays all of the stat groups that are included in the report for each view.


[Stats view]

On the left side of the view is a list of all stat groups included in the report. On the right side are the stat values for the selected stat group.

Stat values are grouped by position when possible. Blank values means that stat value is not available.

Values that have large differences between the two views are highlighted in bold. [h2]Tool Tip Descriptions[/h2] Hovering you mouse cursor over a stat header will show a tool tip with a description of the stat.


[Stat header tool tip]

Hovering over a stat value will show the number of hands where that stat had the opportunity to occur.


[Stat tool tip] [h2]Stat Details[/h2] Clicking on the “+” icon in the left view will expand the stat group to show the stats included in the group.


[Expanded stat group]

Selecting an individual stat will show more details about the stat.


[Stat details]

The stat details show a value range for each position.


[Stat position details]

The stat position details display three values when the view includes more than one player.
  • Average – The average value of all players in the view
  • Max – The average of all players whose value is greater than the average value
  • Min – The average of all players whose value is less than the average value

The average value is the value displayed in the stats grid. The min and max values provide an indication of how much the stat values vary between the players.
