This Starting Hand Calculator was developed for Limit Texas Holdem and is not completely accurate for No Limit Texas Holdem. Note that the number DOES NOT include the initial raiser, but just the callers after the raiser. If the Recommended Action is to Call 1, or Call 2, or Call 3, etc – this means that your move should be to call if there are 1, 2, or 3 callers ahead of you. The Recommended Action will give you our suggestion on how to play the hand. Now, click Process to find your Recommended Action. In the Postion – Situation: drop down box, select your position on the table along with the action that occurred prior to your turn. Except for a pair,look up your high card along the left and your low card along the top. Use the top table if you have a pair, the middle table if your cards are suited, and the bottom table if your cards are unsuited. To begin, click on one of the two playing cards to bring up the deck of cards for you to select your starting hand. The following table shows my power rating for each initial 2-card hand in a 4-player game. To get started, simply select your starting hand, then your Position – Situation and then click Process to see what your move should be! This unique Limit Texas Holdem Starting Hand simulator was originally developed with the playing strategies of poker pro Matthew Hilger based on his Starting Hand Chart here. This starting hand calculator does not compute odds, but is rather a tool to recommend how to play your starting hands.
