Jennifear's charts and their use

Nash equilibrium applied to poker should therefore allow a player never to lose, whatever the opponent’s strategy. Consequently, there are no regrets to be had in case of defeat since one played in the best possible manner; the one that ensures long-term profit. In effect, being a game with incomplete information and many decision factors to be considered, poker is not just a form of mathematical resolution. However, some assumptions based on Nash equilibrium can help simplify the game and thus make it mathematically resolvable. The concrete application of this mathematical resolution are Jennifear's charts used in our push or fold Calculator Tool. If poker is simplified to push or fold actions, then decisions become calculable.

How the tool works

Before using our tool, you need to know several factors. In addition to your cards’ value and suit type, carefully note your position (am I in early or middle position or in a battle of the blinds?), the amount of the ante compared to that of the blinds or even your total number of big blinds. As a matter of course, the calculator only takes into account push (betting all-in) or fold (discarding your hand and forfeiting interest in the current pot) full ring situations with 20 blinds or less (not just simple raises) for purposes of game simplification and automation. Thanks to this mathematical resolution, your long-term gain expectations can only be positive.

The M-Concept was introduced by Dan Harrington in his book “Harrington on Hold’em – Volume II: The Endgame”. Dan Harrington is a well known professional poker player and two times World Series of Poker bracelet winner, including winning the WSOP Main Event of 1995. The M-Concept/Zone System let’s you determine the status you’re in when playing a poker tournament. According to your calculated (effective) M, you can find yourself in one of the predefined zones, where different strategies apply.

Theoretically, the M gives you an estimation of how many orbits you will last without contributing any chips into a pot, except for paying the necessary blinds and antes.

The poker M-Calculator below the content shows you exactly where you stand in a tourney, according to several factors and the results display your M, your effective M (which comes in effect with less then 10 players at a table) and the zone you’re in.

The criteria to calculate your M is as follows:

  • ( Stack / ( BB + SB + ( Ante * Players ) ) )

Comparable playing concepts exists, but professional poker players tend to lean towards the M-Concept more than the others.

  • Green zone
    You are in the comfort zone. Just keep playing premium hands in position and you’re fine for the moment. Try to find the right balance to make the most out of pots and limit your contribution to pots when you lose.
  • Yellow zone
    In the yellow zone, your main focus is to get back to the green zone, thus taking risks by playing more aggressive. Don’t be a fool though, know when you’re beat!
  • Orange zone
    This is where the trouble starts. Your starting hand requirements are less tight. Start making some moves to pick up blinds when you’re in position. You will be checking and calling more often than betting, as your stack doesn’t allow you to bet enough to chase players out of a hand.
  • Red zone
    Calling or betting will make you committed, so better wait for the first Ace or King and move all-in when first to act. You can expect to be called, as players will be eager to eliminate you. This gives you a decent chance to double, triple or even quadruple up and get you back in the orange zone.
  • Dead zone
    Calling is no longer an option. If nobody has opened the pot, you might as well go all-in with any two cards. Who knows, maybe Lady Luck is on your side.
