Positional Strategy Simulator
Poker’s most reliable edge isn’t a secret hand — it’s where you sit. This simulates thousands of hands to show bb/100 (big blinds won per 100 hands) by seat.
Why the blinds lose: the small and big blind post money before seeing their cards, and act first on every postflop street — the worst combination of forced investment and least information.
Why the button wins: the button (and seats near it) act last preflop and postflop, see more information before committing chips, and can enter pots with a wider range of hands profitably.
Flat vs. positional range: the “flat” model uses the same hand-strength threshold to enter a pot regardless of seat. The “positional” model tightens that threshold in early position and loosens it on the button — closer to how strategy is actually taught.
The postflop edge toggle adds a simplified “in-position steal” effect: in heads-up pots, the player who acts last on later streets wins some uncontested pots purely from position, independent of hand strength. Toggling it on isolates how much of the button’s edge comes from acting last, not just entering more pots.
