Notation glossary
One token vocabulary, used identically across the Lines tab (map, overview and explorer) and
Population. Learn it once. One hand's own line — a session hand row on Results, say — shows
the exact size instead of a bucket: B73%, R40%.
Action tokens
| Token | Means |
|---|---|
| X | Check |
| F | Fold |
| C | Call |
| B<size> | A first-in bet, sized as a percentage of the pot before it. |
| R<size> | A raise over a bet. Same size buckets, different letter — facing a decision, a bet and a raise over one are different actions, not two sizes of the same one. |
Bet-size buckets
Every B<size> and R<size> token is the action's size as a percentage of the pot before it,
bucketed:
B20- B30 B50 B70 B100 B150 B200+
| Bucket | Size, % of pot |
|---|---|
| B20- | under 20% |
| B30 | 20% to under 40% |
| B50 | 40% to under 60% |
| B70 | 60% to under 80% |
| B100 | 80% to under 110% |
| B150 | 110% to under 200% |
| B200+ | 200% and over |
The boundaries are a judgment call kept as one ordered table in the code specifically so they're easy to retune without touching every caller — if your group's sizing conventions cluster differently, this is a one-file change.
Where the pot is known exactly — the solver viewer, the trainer's buttons, the replayer — Settings › Table & numbers › Bet sizes chooses whether a size reads as % of pot, big blinds, or both. A bucket covers many hands of different pot sizes, so bucketed tokens stay in % of pot whatever it says. Settings › Table & numbers › Action order chooses whether actions are listed aggressive first or passive first; it changes the order on screen, never the buckets.
Raises use the same bucket as bets
A raise is sized as if the raiser had just called: the amount it adds on top of the call, divided by the
pot after that call — not the raise's total size relative to the previous bet. Into a pot of 100, a bet of
50 raised to 125 adds 75 over the call into a pot of 200: 37.5%, so it reads as R30, not as
"a 2.5x raise" or an overbet.
A full line
One segment per street reached, tokens within a street joined by a comma, streets joined by
| :
X,B50,C | X,B70,C | X,B70,C
Read left to right: on the flop, someone checks, someone bets 50% pot, it's called; the turn opens with a check, a 70%-pot bet, a call; the river repeats that shape. A hand that never reaches the turn simply has no second segment — the line just ends where the hand did.
B20- (the smallest bucket) already contains a literal hyphen. Joining tokens with a hyphen
would make X-B20--C ambiguous to parse back apart. A comma has no such collision.
Lines map node names
Each node on the Lines map has a short name. Settings › Appearance › Line notation
chooses how it reads: Words (the default) or Action letters. The letters spell your own
actions on the way to the node, one each (B bet, X check, C call, R raise), then the decision there:
B where you choose to check or bet, ? where you face a bet. Hover a node for its
full name and the line that leads to it.
| Words | Letters | How Hero got there |
|---|---|---|
| cbet / x ? | B | Flop, checked to Hero |
| 2barrel / x | BB | Hero bet the flop, they called |
| delay ? | XB | Hero checked the flop back |
| vs probe | X? | Hero checked the flop back, they bet the turn |
| triple / x | BBB | Two barrels called |
| b-x-b | BXB | Hero bet the flop and checked the turn back |
| vs river probe | BX? | Hero checked the turn back, they bet the river |
The table reads for the preflop raiser in position. The words follow who raised preflop as well as who is in position: the same first bet is a cbet for the raiser and a stab for the caller, and a bet into the raiser is a donk. The letters spell only your own actions, so they read the same whatever your role.
Position and role shorthand
| Term | Means |
|---|---|
| IP / OOP | Hero acts last / first on the street — derived per hand from who actually acted first on the flop, not assumed from position alone (BB is IP against SB but OOP against BTN). |
| PFR | Hero was the preflop aggressor — the open-raiser, or whoever made the last raise (3-bet, 4-bet, ...). |
| PFC | Hero called a preflop raise rather than making it — the preflop defender. |
| SRP / 3bet / 4bet / 5bet+ | Pot type by how many preflop raises occurred before it went to the flop. The Lines tab's chips shorten them to SRP, 3BP, 4BP, 5BP+. |
| Limped / Walk | Nobody raised preflop: at least two players went on / everyone folded to the big blind. |
| BvB | Blind vs blind: a single-raised pot between the small and big blind, which gets rows of its own on the Lines map. |
