How it is graded
Each player gets the grades they would see if they imported this hand. The preflop charts are built for six players, so these heads-up preflop grades are marked approximate. After the flop, the grader uses a solved pack when the board and stacks are close enough. Otherwise it uses equity against a typical range, or leaves the decision ungraded. Each grade shows its source.
Holmes's stack is the sum of his bets. Aldemir covered him by about ten million, and his stack here is the rest of the 399,300,000 chips in play at the start of heads-up.
