Visually replay hands, calculate equity, build villain ranges, and simulate alternate runouts, all in the browser with no plugins or downloads.
Get started free No credit card requiredEnter your hole cards and the community board by clicking suit and rank on styled card faces. No typing "AhKs|As7d2c|Jh|3s" required. PokerCharts reveals the flop, turn, and river one street at a time, with keyboard navigation (arrow keys or space) so you can step forwards and backwards through the hand to study how each card changed the action. The visual replay is how you actually remember the hand, not a wall of shorthand text, which makes review and sharing dramatically easier.
Pick villain's two cards and PokerCharts deals out every remaining board to give you your exact equity on the current street, preflop included. See instantly whether your AK on the flop is a 60% favorite or only a 45% coin flip against the pair villain just showed. The math runs in your browser on our own hand evaluator, not a third-party plugin, so results are instant and private. No data leaves your browser.
Serious hand study is impossible without ranges. Switch either side from Cards to Range and you get a 13×13 starting-hand matrix. Drag across it to paint a range, at a partial weight if you like, or type standard notation ("JJ+, AKs, AJo:0.5") and watch the matrix fill in. Seat presets load the opening and 3-bet ranges from our preflop charts, and Top % fills the strongest share of hands for a player-type read. Equity is averaged over every live combo with card removal handled for you, and the Heat view colors their range by your equity against each hand.
Replay the actual river and then ask "what if?" The next-card grid shows every possible turn or river colored by how it moves your equity, so you can see which cards you are hoping for before you deal one. Deal a random runout to feel the variance you were actually up against, and "Back to the real runout" restores the cards that really fell whenever you want to anchor back to reality. This is how you develop intuition for the shape of your edge, beyond the specific cards that happened to fall.
Equity is your share of the pot against a specific opponent hand or range, counting every card still to come. PokerCharts' equity calculator counts every remaining runout exactly when both hands are known, and samples to within 0.25 percentage points when a range is involved, on any street. Pick your hole cards, the board (if any), and villain's range or specific hand. Equity comes back instantly. Useful for review (was that call mathematically correct?) and study (how does AK do vs a calling range?).
The 13×13 matrix is the standard way to display poker starting-hand ranges. Rows and columns represent card ranks (2 through A), so each cell is a specific hand combination, with pairs on the diagonal, suited combos above, offsuit below. Click cells to add/remove from the range, or type standard notation ("JJ+, AKs, KQ") and watch the matrix populate. PokerCharts' equity calculator uses the matrix as the visual input for villain ranges.
Open PokerCharts' hand replayer, enter your hole cards and the community board, and step through the action street-by-street using arrow keys. At each decision point, run the equity calculator against your read of villain's range. Was your bet, call, or fold mathematically justified? The runout simulator lets you re-deal turn and river to see how the variance played, useful for spots where the result was an outlier.
No. PokerCharts is a session-level bankroll tracker plus an off-table hand analysis tool. A real-time HUD that overlays opponent stats during online play requires process-level integration with the poker client. That's what desktop tools like PokerTracker 4 and Holdem Manager do. PokerCharts focuses on session/bankroll/tax tracking and post-session hand review.
