Linear Hand Strength(LHS)

Linear Hand Strength: This is a measure which ranks
your hand in the range of possible hands.
Specifically, all possible hands are evaluated,
and ordered, and the measure of the hand is the
fraction of all hands which it beats or ties. By
convention, this measure is mapped to a value in
the range [0,1].

I wasn't aware that there was a term for ranking
hands. So from now on linear hand strength will
be used to rank hands. But zero to 100 will be
used instead of [0,1]. All the odds calculators
give results in percentages. I will also use the
term LHS for preflop, flop, turn and river.

For on the flop each hand type will be given a
general LHS value. The flop is three small cards.
Each possible two overs will be given a LHS value
against various range of hands. Normally it's
worth calling a continuation bet with 35% or
higher.

I have started to compile a file of these values
in Excel. When it gets organized in some readable
form, the table will be posted on this blog.
