What a poker hands chart should show

A useful chart lists each hand category in order, gives one clean example, and shows what beats it. For tournaments, the chart should also remind you that starting-hand play depends on position and effective stack.

Using charts without over-memorizing

Charts are best as quick reference points. Once the rankings are automatic, the next study step is practicing spots by stack depth, previous action, and tournament stage.
