Notice that a 10% range, for example, isn't the same as 10% of the the hands displayed in the charts – there are more combinations of some hands (see Number of combinations for different hand categories), therefore, the marked hands versus unmarked in the chart doesn't coincide with the percent numbers. The charts are categorized by the percentage of hands. For your help to visualize all possible starting hands, these ranges can be very helpful. Instead of making up your mind from time to time, you should have a constant plan. When you play poker, you should be relative consistent regarding which starting hands you play in different situations.
