GTO Range Lookup

The core feature of GTO Ranges+ — browse and view GTO-optimal preflop ranges for any spot across multiple poker formats.

Step-by-Step Lookup

  1. 1
    Tap "GTO Ranges"

    From the Home Screen, tap the GTO Ranges card to open the range browser.

  2. 2
    Choose a Game Type

    Select from the available formats: MTT (Chip EV, ICM, or PKO), Cash (filter by ante, rake, position, stack size), Spins (Spin & Go tournaments), Heads-Up, WSOP (tournament-specific), or User (your own custom uploaded ranges).

  3. 3
    Apply Filters

    Each game type has its own filter screen. Select the specific parameters for the spot you want to study — stack sizes, positions (UTG, HJ, CO, BTN, SB, BB), antes, rake, and format-specific options like ICM/Chip EV/PKO model for MTT.

  4. 4
    View the Range

    The interactive range viewer displays the full hand matrix with color-coded actions (fold, call, raise). Tap individual hands for more detail.

Range Viewer Features

Range Metadata

Use the Info button (menu) to see full metadata about the range — stacks, antes, payout structures, and other contextual details.

Local Caching

Ranges are cached locally so repeated lookups load instantly. Look up ranges you frequently reference to build your local cache.

Multi-way Ranges

Multi-way ranges are supported — see how ranges shift when multiple players are involved in the pot.

Free users get a limited number of daily lookups. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited access to every range in the database.
Chapter 04

Training

Put your GTO knowledge to the test. The app presents poker scenarios and you choose the correct GTO action — with instant feedback.

Training Modes

Quickstart Training

Tap Quickstart to jump straight into random GTO scenarios. No filters needed — the app picks from all game types and spots. Great for warming up or general practice. You start with a GTO Score of 800.

Targeted Training

For focused practice on specific spots. Choose a game type in the Game Lobby, select stack sizes, and pick a specific spot (e.g., BTN vs BB 3-bet pot). The app pre-loads scenarios matching your filters — ideal for drilling weak spots identified in your Performance analytics.

How Training Works

  1. 1
    View the Scenario

    You see the poker table with player positions and your hole cards. The scenario shows the action sequence so far (e.g., "UTG opens, you are on the BTN").

  2. 2
    Choose Your Action

    Select Fold, Call, or Raise. The app gives immediate feedback — whether your choice matches the GTO solution.

  3. 3
    Score Adjustment

    Your GTO Score adjusts based on accuracy. Build streaks for bonus points — 3 or more correct answers in a row earns a multiplier bonus.

  4. 4
    Session Summary

    When you finish a session, a summary screen shows your overall performance including accuracy and score changes.

Use Targeted Training to focus on weak spots identified in your Performance analytics. Building streaks is the fastest way to climb the GTO Score ladder.
