Drop in two cards and the sheet answers you: preflop it rings your hand in the 13×13 grid, postflop it counts your outs and prices the call.

Which hands to open-raise from each seat.
Your chance to improve and the price you need.
Where the seats are and who acts when.
Check, bet, call, raise, fold, all-in.

Off removes the block and its heading. S is always a single line. Nothing animates, so you can hold a size and compare.

Everything the sheet prints, written out. Build the page above for the version you take to the table; read this one when you want the reasoning behind a line.
Ten hands, strongest first. The order follows how rare each hand is: a royal flush turns up about once in 650,000 deals, one pair about every second hand. Suits never break a tie in Hold’em — when two players hold the same hand, the highest fifth card decides it, and if the board plays for both, the pot is split.
What to open-raise first-in in a 6-max cash game: 100bb, no ante, unopened pot, 2.5bb open. The Small Blind uses raise-or-fold. A compass, not gospel.

An out is a card that turns a losing hand into a winning one. Count them, multiply by two for the next card — by four only when the money is already all-in and both cards are guaranteed — and compare the answer with the price: the amount you must call, divided by the pot plus that call, is the share of the time you need to win.
Six seats, from the button (best, acts last) around to the blinds (worst, act first after the flop). Later position, wider range.
Learn the logic rather than the list. Each hand outranks the one below it because it is harder to be dealt: three of a kind beats two pair because it shows up roughly twice as rarely, and the same rule holds all the way up. Print the sheet and keep it beside you for a few sessions — recognising a full house at the table is a different skill from reciting the order at home. Then cover the sheet and name the ten from memory; the two or three you stumble on are the only ones left to learn.
One A4 page with the default set: hand rankings, opening ranges by seat, the pot-odds table and the seating map. No email, no watermark. Build your own above if you want a different set — the print and the PDF come from the same page.

Not at the table in a live casino: reading notes during a hand is against the rules there. It is for studying at home and for online play, where a printed sheet beside your screen is fine.

A royal flush. It is the top of the rankings and nothing beats it; there are only 4 in a 52-card deck, about 1 in 650,000 deals.
A shortcut for your drawing odds: multiply your outs by 2 for one card to come, by 4 for two cards to come. Eight outs is about 16% on the next card and about 32% by the river.
Learn the logic, not the list: the rarer the hand, the higher it ranks. Print the sheet, keep it in view for a few sessions, then test yourself — recall beats re-reading.
Anything outside your seat's opening range. From under the gun that is about 85% of hands; on the button only 58%. The 13×13 grid shows the cut-off for each seat.
It is a home-game side bet, not strategy: win a pot with 7-2 offsuit and everyone pays you a bonus. It doesn't make 7-2 playable.
