Frequently Asked Questions
More information about our simulations, the solving process and the output format of the ranges.
What is the standup game?
The standup game, sometimes known as squid game or nit game, is a game where players pay a penalty if they are the last player to win a hand. In this game the players are incentivized to play more hands preflop, with vastly different strategy to regular hold'em. For example, if the penalty is 3bb per player, the last person to win a hand outright pays each player 3bb, for a total of 15bb in a 6max game.
Why do I need these ranges?
Solid preflop strategy is a vital aspect of being a winning poker player, in new games knowing this strategy will give you a huge edge over your opponents. Did you know for example that there are situations you can profitably jam over a single limp? Situations where you should regularly open 10x? Situations where you should not fold a single hand? Knowing these situations in new games will propel you above the competition.

How were these ranges solved?
These ranges were solved with our proprietary custom solver, design specifically to model this game. As opposed to other methods that may model this game with an extra ante, our software models the intricies of this format specifically.
