Why think in ranges?
You almost never know your opponent’s exact cards, but you can estimate the set of hands they would play this way: their range. Comparing your range with theirs shows whether a shove, a call or a bet makes sense across all the hands each of you could have.
How to enter a range
- Paint it: click and drag across the grid. Pairs are on the diagonal, suited hands above it, offsuit hands below.
- Top X%: the slider selects the strongest hands first, ordered by how well they do against several random hands.
- Type it: use standard notation such as
22+, A2s+, KTo+, T9s-T6s, then press Enter or click away.

| KTo+ | KTo, KJo, KQo |
| T9s-T6s | T9s, T8s, T7s, T6s |
