How the trainer works
Each spot is a 6-max cash game with 100 big blinds, folded to you. You see your seat and your two cards. Choose Raise or Fold, and the trainer shows the full opening range for that seat with your hand highlighted. Pick a single seat to drill it, or choose "Mostly close decisions" to focus on hands at the edge of each range, where most mistakes happen.
Opening ranges by seat
| Seat | Opens about | Key idea |
|---|---|---|
| UTG | 16% | Five players behind: pairs, strong aces and broadways |
| HJ | 20% | Add more suited aces and suited broadways |
| CO | 28% | Add suited connectors and more offsuit broadways |
| BTN | 44% | Position after the flop lets you open more than 4 hands in 10 |
| SB | 38% | Only the big blind left, but you are out of position |
See every range on the starting hand chart. For short stacks in tournaments, practice all-in spots with the push/fold trainer.
Tips
- Learn the edges first: which suited aces, suited kings and offsuit broadways make each range.
- Ranges widen as you move toward the button. If a hand is an open from the hijack, it is an open from every later seat.
- Fifty correct answers in a row from every seat is a good sign you have the ranges memorised.
