This is sort of a random question...
Where can I find what hands are in the top 5%, 10%, 20% (etc) of all poker hands?
For example, if my opponent is going to call my push (in a tournament) with only the top 10% of his hands, which hands is he calling with?

That doesnt really give percentages.
Download pokerstove, in there you can type in a percentage of hands and it will show you want hands that would be.
i wanted the exact percentages bc I was trying to figure out if my push in a tournament was +EV. To know that I need to figure out how often I should expect him to call. If he is calling with AQ+, TT+ only, how often can I expect him to call? 10% of the time? Less than 10%?
thanks andy. i didnt realize the scrollbar on the bottom. so if his range is 99+, AQs+, AKo+, he'll be calling 4% of the time.
pokerstove will give you an idea but it wont tell you if he prefers 77 to A9s. To really know ranges you have to take notes of what hands he likes to push with.
I believe HOH2 has the list of the top 10% of hands.
