Grid Editor

The Grid Editor allows you to create and modify your ranges in two ways: visual (13×13 grid) or textual (poker notation). Combine both approaches for fast and precise editing.


Why the Editor?

Preflop ranges are complex: 1326 possible combinations, variable frequencies depending on situations, exploitative adjustments... The Editor gives you the tools to create and customize your ranges precisely:

  • Visual editing: Select your combos on the 13×13 grid by clicking or dragging to select them quickly
  • Textual editing: Use poker notation (AKs, QQ+, 22-77) for quick editing
  • Weights (frequencies): Play certain hands at 50%, 75%, 25% depending on the situation
  • Custom colors: Visualize your ranges with clear and distinct colors
  • Notes: Document your ranges (context, adjustments, exploits)

Result: Precise ranges, easy to memorize, and adapted to your game.

13×13 Grid (Visual Editing)

Grid Organization

The 13×13 grid represents all possible hands in poker:

  • 169 cells: Each cell = one type of hand (AA, AKs, AKo, KQo, etc.)
  • 1326 combos: Total possible combinations
  • Organization:
    • Diagonal: Pairs (AA, KK, QQ... 22)
    • Above the diagonal: Suited hands (AKs, QJs, T9s...)
    • Below the diagonal: Offsuit hands (AKo, QJo, T9o...)

Selecting Hands (Click)

Steps:

  1. Select a range from the list on the left (example: "Open")
  2. Click on a cell in the grid (example: "AKs")
  3. The hand is added to the selected range (colored cell)
  4. Click again to remove the hand

Behavior:

  • If the hand is already in another range → It is removed from the old one and added to the new one
  • Default weight: 100% (always played)

Selecting by Drag

To quickly select multiple hands:

Steps:

  1. Select a range (example: "Call")
  2. Click and hold on a starting cell (example: "QQ")
  3. Drag to an ending cell (example: "88")
  4. Release: All cells between QQ and 88 are added

Use cases:

  • Add all pairs at once (AA → 22)
  • Add a series of suited connectors (AKs → A2s)
  • Select a rectangular area

Fold Mode (Eraser)

To remove hands from all ranges:

Steps:

  1. Click on the "Eraser" icon or select "Fold"
  2. Click on the cells you want to remove
  3. The hands are deleted from all ranges

Use cases:

  • Clean up hands added by mistake
  • Remove folded hands from all ranges at once

Detailed Combo Selection

If no range is selected and you click on a cell, you can view and select the exact combos represented by that cell (example: for AKs, see AhKh, AsKs, AdKd, AcKc).


Textual Editing (Poker Notation)

Text Field per Range

Each range has a text field where you can edit directly in poker notation.

Where to find it:

  • To the right of the range name
  • Displays the current content (example: "AA, KK, QQ+, AKs")

How to use it:

  1. Click on the text field of the range
  2. Edit the text (add or remove combos)
  3. Automatic validation: The text is parsed in real time
  4. Error: If the notation is invalid, an error message is displayed

Saving:

  • Auto-save after 500ms without typing
  • No need for a "Save" button

Color System and Captions

Range Colors

Each range in a grid has:

  • A name: "Open", "Call", "4bet", etc.
  • A background color: To visualize combos on the grid (hex, e.g.: #0061f3)
  • A text color: For readability (e.g.: #ffffff for white)

How to modify:

  1. Click on the range in the list
  2. Click on the color square to the left of the name
  3. Color picker opens

Favorite Captions

Captions are pre-recorded color+name combinations for easy reuse.

9 predefined captions:

These captions are included by default when importing range packs. You can also create your own captions at any time.


Linking a Range to a Caption

3 link modes:

  1. Linked linked:

    • Range uses an existing caption
    • Modifying the caption updates all ranges that use it
  2. New new:

    • Create a new caption from this range
    • Saves the current colors as a new caption
  3. Unique unique:

    • Custom colors without link
    • Modifying the range doesn't create/modify any caption

How to link:

  1. Open the caption picker (click on color square)
  2. Choose an option:
    • Click on an existing caption → Linked mode
    • Click on "Create new caption" → New mode
    • Choose custom colors → Unique mode
  3. Validate

Weights and Frequencies

What is a Weight?

A weight is the frequency at which you play a given hand in a range.

Examples:

  • AA@100 (default): Play AA 100% of the time
  • AA@50: Play AA 50% of the time, fold 50%
  • QQ@75: Play QQ 75%, fold 25%
  • AKo@25: Play AKo 25%, fold 75%

Why Weights?

Use cases:

  • Mixed hands: Some hands are borderline → Play them partially
  • Balance: Avoid being too predictable (mix actions)
  • GTO ranges: Solvers use mixed frequencies

Concrete example:

  • You are BTN, you open vs BB
  • Your open range includes: JTo@100, T9o@75, 98o@50, 87@25
  • JTo: Always open
  • T9o: Open 75%, fold 25%
  • 98o: Open 50%, fold 50%
  • 87o: Open 25%, fold 75%

Weight Selector

At the top of the editor, a weight selector allows you to choose the current weight:

Available options:

  • 100% (default)
  • 75%
  • 50%
  • 25%

How to use:

  1. Select a weight (example: 50%)
  2. Select a range (example: "Open")
  3. Click on the cells in the grid
  4. The hands are added with the selected weight

Note

The weight selector appears at the bottom of the screen (floating bar) when a range is selected.


Weight Display

Weights are visible in two ways:

  1. In the text notation:

    • AA, KK, QQ@75, JJ@50, TT@25
    • Weight displayed inline after @
  2. On the grid (optional):

    • Color opacity according to weight (100% = opaque, 25% = transparent)
    • Badge with percentage on the cell

Weighted Combo Calculation

Statistics take weights into account:

Example:

  • QQ: 6 combos × 100% = 6 combos
  • JJ: 6 combos × 75% = 4.5 combos
  • TT: 6 combos × 50% = 3 combos
  • Total: 13.5 weighted combos

Display:

  • Number of combos: 13.5 (instead of 18)
  • Percentage: (13.5 / 1326) × 100 = 1.02%
