PQL Recipes
Poker probability questions, each answered with a ready-to-run PQL query. PQL is a SQL-like Poker Query Language, and SolvePoker runs it free in your browser, no install or account. Start with a guide, or jump to a single question below.
Start here: three worked guides
PQL by example Twelve tiny queries that between them cover most of what PQL does: equity, draws, board textures, histograms, split pots, weights and real solver ranges. Each one runs in your browser in about a second. Draw density decides the call A button opening range picks up a straight draw on J-T-4 about three and a half times as often as it does on Q-7-3. That gap is what sets how wide you keep calling against a c-bet. These queries count the draws on both flops, then check the mental arithmetic the strategy material uses to estimate them. Nuttiness beats raw equity PLO equities run close together. A disconnected rainbow hand still keeps about 31% against double-suited aces, which leaves preflop equity a poor way to sort hands. What sorts them is nut potential. These queries measure the equity floor, dominated draws, and how often a big-looking hand is already second best.
