Example hands
Four common classes and the lesson each one teaches.
These examples keep the tool practical. They show how a hand can be categorized quickly without pretending every edge case should be memorized.
Rundown
Double-suited rundowns keep the most routes alive.
As Ks Qd Jd is the kind of hand that keeps straight and flush paths open across more boards.
Pair
Pair-heavy hands need board fit and redraws.
Kh Kd Qs Jd looks strong, but the pair is the main reason to continue, so texture matters more.
Broadway
Top-heavy hands play best when the board stays high.
Ks Qs Jh Th keeps top-end straight and flush leverage, which makes the Broadway label easy to spot.
Study notes
Use the class label to decide what page to study next.
The goal is speed, not perfect solver language. If the hand is mostly connected, go deeper on starting hands. If it is pair-heavy, use rankings. If it is disconnected, return to the basic rules and hand-structure pages.
Pair
Made-hand value still needs support.
Pair-heavy holdings are real, but they travel best when the cards around them help on more than one texture.
Rundown
Connection changes the number of playable boards.
The more ranks work together, the more flops and turns keep the hand live instead of forcing a one-pair plan.
Double-suited
Two live suits increase nut routes.
Double-suited hands are easier to continue with because they can win through multiple flush paths rather than relying on one.
