Grid Explorer ​

The Grid Explorer is your range library: organize your grids into folders and subfolders, navigate quickly, and manage all your files from an intuitive interface.

Why the Explorer? ​

In poker, you need dozens of different ranges depending on:

  • Position (UTG, MP, CO, BTN, SB, BB)
  • Format (Cash game, MTT, Expresso, Sit'n'Go)
  • Stack (100bb, 50bb, 20bb, 10bb)
  • Action (Open, Call, 3bet, 4bet, vs 3bet, etc.)
  • And many other criteria (tournament stage, opponent profiles, etc.)

Without organization, finding the right range becomes impossible. The Explorer structures your ranges like a file system: folders within folders, grids within folders, to instantly find what you're looking for.

Explorer Interface ​

Overview ​

When you open the Explorer, you see:

At the top:

  • 🏠 Breadcrumb: Shows where you are (Root > Folder1 > Subfolder)
  • ➕ "New folder" button: Create a folder in the current folder
  • ➕ "New grid" button: Create a grid in the current folder
  • 📥 "Import" button: Import presets or a JSON file

Range Explorer

Central area:

  • 📁 Folder list: Folders at the current level
  • 📄 Grid list: Grids at the current level
  • 🔍 Visual preview: Thumbnail of the 13×13 grid (optional)

Multi-folder navigation:

  • You can open multiple folders simultaneously in the central area
  • Allows viewing content of multiple folders side by side
  • Use case: For an "MTT Early 100bb+" folder, quickly visualize all grids from each position
  • Click on a grid: Opens directly the Grid Editor to view and modify

Viewing multiple ranges

The breadcrumb at the top of the screen shows your position in the tree:

Root > Cash Game 6-max > UTG

Available actions:

  • Click on a level: Return to that parent folder
  • Root folder icon (folder-root): Return to the highest level

Opening a Folder ​

  1. Click on a folder in the list
  2. The folder content displays (subfolders + grids)
  3. The breadcrumb updates

Automatic root-folder opening

If your whole library fits in a single root folder, Poker Toolkit opens it directly when you land on the Strategy page, with subfolders expanded. You see your ranges immediately instead of clicking through a wrapper folder.

Opening a Grid ​

The whole card is clickable, not just its name:

  • On desktop: click anywhere on the card to open the editor. On hover, a "Click to edit" hint appears. With the keyboard, the card is focusable and Enter or Space opens it
  • On mobile: a plain tap does not navigate (so scrolling stays smooth). A long press (about half a second) opens the grid, with haptic feedback and a subtle visual effect. If you move your finger, the long press is cancelled and you keep scrolling

Going Back ​

  • Click on the parent level in the breadcrumb
  • Or click on the parent folder directly in the tree

Folder Management ​

Creating a Folder ​

Steps:

  1. Navigate to the parent folder where you want to create the subfolder
  2. Click "New folder" (➕ button)
  3. Enter the folder name (example: "Button 100bb")
  4. Confirm

Result: The folder is created and appears in the list.

Use cases:

  • Create a structure by position: UTG, MP, CO, BTN, SB, BB
  • Create a structure by format: Cash, MTT, Expresso
  • Create a structure by stack: 100bb, 50bb, 20bb

Renaming a Folder ​

Steps:

  1. Click on the ⋮ menu to the right of the folder
  2. Select "Rename"
  3. Enter the new name
  4. Confirm

Result: The folder is renamed, all references are updated.

Moving a Folder ​

Steps:

  1. Click on the ⋮ menu to the right of the folder
  2. Select "Move"
  3. Choose the destination folder in the tree
  4. Confirm

Result: The folder (with all its content) is moved to the new parent.

Use cases:

  • Reorganize your structure
  • Group similar folders
  • Separate ranges by format

Duplicating a Folder ​

Steps:

  1. Click on the ⋮ menu to the right of the folder
  2. Select "Duplicate"
  3. Choose the destination folder
  4. Confirm

Result:

  • The folder is copied (with all its content: subfolders, grids, ranges)
  • If duplicated in the same parent, the name becomes "Folder name (Copy)"
  • The structure is recursive: all content is duplicated

Use cases:

  • Create a variant of your ranges (example: "UTG 100bb" → "UTG 100bb (vs tight)")
  • Test adjustments without losing the original
  • Share a common base and customize later

Deleting a Folder ​

Steps:

Range Import ​

Preset Import ​

Poker Toolkit offers pre-made ranges ready to use for a quick start.

Available presets:

  1. Push or Fold 10% Ante - Push/fold charts for tournaments with ante 🔒
  2. Push or Fold 0% Ante - Push/fold charts without ante 🔒
  3. MTT / Cash Game Ranges - Standard positional ranges
  4. Expresso Ranges - Ranges adapted for turbo SNGs

Push or Fold imports require a subscription

Both Push or Fold imports require a paid plan (Ranges Builder or a full plan). The buttons stay visible with a lock: clicking one opens the subscription page. The other presets remain available.

See Subscription to compare plans.

Base Ranges

These presets are starting points to adapt according to your playing style, level, and opponents. Don't apply them blindly!

How to import:

  1. Click "Import" in the Explorer
  2. Select a preset from the list
  3. Grids are added in an "Imported" folder or at Root
  4. You can then edit them freely

Result:

  • Complete structure with folders and grids
  • Pre-filled ranges with combos, colors, names
  • Favorite captions imported

JSON File Import ​

You can import ranges exported by other Poker Toolkit players or your own backups.

How to import:

  1. Click "Import" → "Import file"
  2. Select a .json file on your computer
  3. The application checks the format (must be Poker Toolkit v1 format)
  4. Ranges are added to your library

What is imported:

  • Folder structure (recursive)
  • Grids with all ranges
  • Colors and names (captions)
  • Combo weights
  • Grid notes

Tags and Colors ​

Tags are a second way to organize your library, cutting across the folder tree. A folder files a grid in one single place; a tag can link it to several themes at once.

Examples: 6-max, 100bb, to review, MTT, bluff, coach approved.

Adding Tags ​

  1. Open the menu of a grid, a folder or a concept
  2. Choose "Edit tags"
  3. Type a tag and confirm, or pick one from the suggestions

Tags apply to grids, folders and concepts: it's the same editor everywhere.

The Color Catalog ​

Each tag automatically receives a color from a palette when it is created. The color is stored in your personal catalog, so the same tag keeps the same color everywhere in the app.

You can change a tag's color from the editor. The rendering adapts to light and dark themes, without you having to pick two shades.

Filtering by Tag ​

From the strategy search, the "+ Filter by tag" field narrows the display to matching items.

Matching rule: at least one tag. If you filter on MTT and to review, you get everything carrying either or the other, not only both together. The "match: at least one tag" note below the field reminds you of this.

Parent folders are kept in the results, so you can always locate a found grid within its tree.

A pattern that works well

Tag to review every grid you stumble on during your review sessions. Once a week, filter on that tag and handle the batch in one go.

File Order ​

Automatic Sorting ​

By default, folders and grids are sorted by creation order (oldest first).

Manual Sorting ​

You can manually reorganize your files:

How:

  1. Click and hold on a file
  2. Drag to the desired position
  3. Release to drop

Use cases:

  • Put the most used folders at the top
  • Organize by priority (early positions > late)
  • Group by similarity

Two possible approaches: import a preset to start quickly, or ask AI Coaching to create your personalized structure from scratch. Avoid combining both to prevent duplicates!
