Ranges ​

Create, organize, and memorize your preflop ranges with powerful visual tools. Ranges are one of the pillars of Poker Toolkit: they allow you to structure your preflop decisions and anchor them in your memory through interactive learning modes.

Why Use Ranges in Poker Toolkit? ​

Preflop ranges are the foundation of your poker strategy: knowing which hands to play based on your position, stack, and action before you is essential to winning. But memorizing them is difficult without proper tools. For a complete introduction to range concepts, check out our poker ranges charts guide.

Poker Toolkit helps you:

  • ✅ Create your ranges visually (13×13 grid) or in text (poker notation)
  • ✅ Organize your ranges in folders by position, format, stack
  • ✅ Actively memorize with quizzes and drawing exercises
  • ✅ Import preset ranges (Push or Fold, MTT, Cash Game)
  • ✅ Export and share your ranges with other players

Result: You play your ranges correctly in sessions, without hesitation, and improve faster.

The 3 Components of Ranges ​

1. 📁 Explorer (Organization) ​

The Explorer is your range library. You organize your grids into folders and subfolders to quickly find the right range for any situation.

What you can do:

  • Create folders: By position (UTG, BTN, BB), by format (Cash, MTT, Expresso), by stack (100bb, 20bb, 10bb)
  • Create grids: Each grid contains one or more ranges (example: "Open", "Call", "4bet")
  • Organize hierarchically: Folders within folders, grids within folders
  • Move, duplicate, rename: Complete file management
  • Import presets: Push or Fold, MTT, Cash Game, Expresso

Typical structure:

📁 Cash Game 6-max 100bb
  ├── 📁 UTG
  │   ├── 📄 Open
  │   ├── 📄 vs MP
  │   ├── 📄 vs CO
  │   ├── 📄 vs BTN
  │   ├── 📄 vs SB
  │   └── 📄 vs BB
  ├── 📁 Button
  │   ├── 📄 Open
  │   ├── 📄 vs SB
  │   └── 📄 vs BB
  └── 📁 Big Blind
      ├── 📄 vs UTG
      ├── 📄 vs MP
      ├── 📄 vs CO
      ├── 📄 vs BTN
      └── 📄 vs SB

2. ✏️ Editor (Creation and Modification) ​

The Editor allows you to create and modify your ranges in two ways: visual (13×13 grid) or textual (poker notation).

Visual Editing (13×13 Grid) ​

The 13×13 grid represents all possible poker hands:

  • 169 cells: Each cell = one hand type (AA, AKs, AKo, KQo, etc.)
  • 1326 combos: Total possible combinations
  • Click on cells to add/remove hands from your range

Grid organization:

  • Diagonal: Pairs (AA, KK, QQ... 22)
  • Above the diagonal: Suited hands (AKs, QJs, T9s...)
  • Below the diagonal: Offsuit hands (AKo, QJo, T9o...)

13x13 Grid

Text Editing (Poker Notation) ​

Prefer text? Use poker notation to edit your ranges quickly:

Notation examples:

  • AA, KK, QQ+ → Pairs QQ and higher (QQ, KK, AA)
  • AKs, AQs, AJs → Specific suited hands
  • AKo, AQo+ → AQ offsuit and higher (AQo, AKo)
  • 22-77 → Pairs from 22 to 77
  • AJ-AT → All A-X hands from AJ to AT (AJs, AJo, ATs, ATo, etc.)

Weights (frequencies):

  • AA@50 → Play AA 50% of the time
  • AKs@75, QQ@25 → AKs 75%, QQ 25%
  • Default: 100% if no weight specified

Color and Name System ​

Each range in a grid has:

  • A name: "Open", "Call", "4bet", etc.
  • A background color: To visualize combos on the grid
  • A text color: For readability

Favorite captions: You can save color+name combinations to reuse them easily:

  • Automatic linking: Modifying a caption updates all ranges using it

3. 🎓 Learning (Memorization) ​

Learning includes two complementary modes to memorize your ranges effectively.

Learn Mode (Quiz) ​

Learn Mode is a quiz that asks you questions about your ranges to test your knowledge.

How it works:

  1. Select a grid or an entire folder to learn
  2. The system generates random questions:
    • "With AKs, what do I do?" → Choices: Open / Call / 4bet / Fold
    • Questions focus on border combos (critical hands at the edge of your range)
  3. Choose your answer from 2-4 options
  4. Immediate feedback: Correct or incorrect
  5. Final score: X/Y correct questions

Smart questions:

  • Generated from your actual ranges
  • Focus on border combos (borderline hands)
  • Realistic answer options (no obvious fakes)

Unlimited reviews:

  • Free: 1 quiz per day
  • Premium: Unlimited

Draw Mode (Drawing) ​

Draw Mode is an active practice exercise: you must draw your range from memory on a blank grid.

How it works:

  1. Select a grid to draw
  2. The grid appears grayed out (optional visual reference)
  3. Draw your range by clicking on cells:
    • Select the range to draw (Open, Call, 4bet...)
    • Click on the combos you think should be included
  4. Automatic comparison: The system compares your drawing with the expected range
  5. Accuracy score: % of correctly placed combos

Visual feedback:

  • Green: Correct combo (well placed)
  • Red: Incorrect combo (misplaced or forgotten)
  • Gray: Combo not drawn

Benefits of drawing:

  • Active memory: You force your brain to reconstruct the range
  • Visual anchoring: You better visualize the shape of your range
  • Gap detection: You immediately see what you forgot

Unlimited reviews:

  • Free: 1 drawing per day
  • Premium: Unlimited
