Default How do I find out if a hand is in the top ten percent of all hands?

If I know someone raises with 5% or 10& of his hands is there some way to see what the top five percent or ten percent of cards are, so I can get some kind of rough idea what his raising standards might be? (knowing, of course that it will be position dependent.)

You might find this software very useful:

http://www.pokerstove.com/

You can choose opponents hands range (Top X%, Pairs, suited, etc) and calculate your equity as well. You might check your Poker Tracker stats about that opponent and grasp a better idea about position.

Cheers. It's about interpreting information and trying to gauge what it really means if a guy raises fifteen percent of his hands.

What do you mean by "top"? Is it "best chance to beat a random hand heads-up on the river?" Is it "best chance to win against a random 10-handed table by the river?"

These are serious issues. I believe pokerstove ranks hands based on equity vs. three random hands.

I tried to develop a more realistic ordering of hands for omaha, hold'em, and omaha-8. Details can be found here
(at least, once blogger.com finished their server maintenance)

Yes, mine is one of "a small percentage of blogs" that are still not back up yet. I'll post when it returns.

Freakin' bad beat...

PokerStove ranks 99 ahead of AKo. Is that right?

yeah, AK doesnt move ahead of 99 until you have 5 random opponents.
