Questions about Equilab

Oh, There's also Select Preflop Action > Call which has similar but differently formatted numbers in the list.
Select Preflop Action > Call > 1 : 5 or Select Preflop Action > Call > 1 : 9

What do the numbers represent?

Hi JoeB1Knoobie,
Welcome to PokerStrategy.com

I checked, and I cannot find those buttons.

You might be using Power Equilab

Hey VorpalF2F, thanks for getting back to me! This is just the free equilab, not power-equilab. Here are links to the screenshots, via the workaround you suggested (thanks for that tidbit!):

Just add the HTTPS: in front

OK I see what you mean now.
I have no clue

I'll see if I can find an explanation somewhere.
If (or when) I do I'll let you know...

I think I figured it out.
If you open the card range selector and put 20.0 in the VPIP box (red circles)
You will see a range that is 20% of all combos

If you now put 5.0 in the PFR box, you will eliminate the top 5% of hands from this whole range:

This is exactly what you get if you choose the Limp 20/5 option from the Select Preflop Action button

As for the call numbers, they look like ratios, but they are all odd numbers:
1:3, 1:5 ... 1:9

Here is 1:3 vs the 20/5 range:

       Equity     Win     Tie
MP2    61.51%  60.43%   1.08% { 66+, A8s+, KTs+, QTs+, JTs, ATo+, KJo+ }
MP3    38.49%  37.42%   1.08% { TT-22, K9s+, Q9s+, J8s+, T8s+, 97s+, 87s, 76s, 65s, KJo+, QTo+, JTo, T9o, 98o }

Here is 1:5 vs the same range:

       Equity     Win     Tie
MP2    64.58%  63.59%   0.98% { 66+, A8s+, KTs+, QTs+, JTs, ATo+, KJo+ }
MP3    35.42%  34.44%   0.98% { 99-22, K2s+, Q2s+, J6s+, T7s+, 96s+, 86s+, 75s+, 65s, 54s, A8o-A2o, K8o+, Q8o+, J8o+, T8o+, 97o+, 87o, 76o }

Not making much sense to me at the moment.

These might have something to do with Fixed Limit Hold'em

Clue:
If you open the "PokerStrategy.com - Fixed Limit" section of the Predefined hand ranges panel, then open "Raising one Limper" you will see the same limp profiles we saw previously.

That's just a guess though

Awesome. Thanks for the help!

So, here we're assuming that calling caps the range, so the tool gives us access to quickly cap the range based on VPIP/PFR. I assumed it had something to do with that, but didn't have any idea how to figure out the exact connection. Now that I see how you worked it out, I'm like "duh, why didn't I think of that" ;-)

Regarding limp, I think you're probably on to something because in the user manual they say something along the lines of "These ranges are mostly based on limit hold'em, for no limit you should choose your ranges from the list of predefined ranges in the Hand Range Selection window."

Kewl. Thanks again!

Wait...
There's a user manual?
Why wasn't I notified!

Where did you find it?

oof, my bad. I shouldn't have called it a "User Manual". This is all I was able to find https://www.pokerstrategy.com/strategy/various-poker/equilab-boost-skills/

Wow!
Nice find.
I'm pretty sure I had never seen that page before.
I've saved that link for the next time someone needs it.
