Show HN: Floptimal – Preflop ranges reimagined

First off, great name — it's portmanteauriffic! This looks really useful for beginners and intermediate folks. For beginners (like me), it would probably be helpful to have a series of quick demo videos that show each of the features.

You could start off with the basic "if you're dealt these cards, should you hold/fold?" and then layer on additional complexity in terms of stack size, position, etc. That would make it less intimidating/multivariate.

Can you explain what features you are keeping behind a paywall and why? This looks like something that could really help a lot of people, that would not have high ongoing costs, and that therefore could make a great business.

Only question — what is your moat? Not to say you can't succeed without a moat from day one, but it changes the calculus on growth/revenue (in favor of growing faster to capture the market, and then iterating on revenue later once you're the main player).

Is there a glossary? I know how to play poker roughly but I have no idea how to use this awesome website.

maybe the moat is the market size.

This is a lot easier to use than sites with similar content presented in images.

Not seeing a color legend on mobile but I can reason it out; might be a helpful addition for tournament players who are newer to these concepts.

(Explanation for peanut gallery: if you are playing tournament Texas hold’em poker and have relatively few chips, the game becomes simpler that at other stages of the tournament: you either wager all your chips immediately after given your first choice in the hand or fold your chips. The optimal play is far closer to a math problem than most poker situations; these charts help describe it concisely for people to mentally cache prior to play.

Good luck with that.
