Regarding Charts
Just bought 6 month package. Have 3 questions.
1. On the chart for raised pots, the the position mean the position of the raiser or my position?
Do you have a chart for how to play the blinds?
I play Poker stars VR which is play money in the US. Some players will raise 10x the big blind instead of 5 for there open raise. Should I call with the same hands or just the big Pairs and AKs? Thanks

Hi and welcome to APT,
The charts refer to your position, not the position of the raiser. Keep in mind that these are very broad guides and things change depending on who your opponents are, the positions of raisers, etc.
We do not have a chart on how to play the blinds since it is so situation specific, but we do have Beat the Pro Challenges and Combat Trainer situations to help with this. A chart wouldn't be much help.
When you are playing with play money, almost all rules go out the window. Opponents rarely fold and you often end up having to get the best hand to win. For those reasons, hands which eventually do well at showdown go up in value, and hands which do best against single opponents or rely on fold equity go down in value. When people are betting big pre-flop, that just reduces the implied stack sizes and makes it harder for you to "chase" hands.
