In short: drill your preflop decisions on a felt table — in HU, 6-max or 9-max — with instant feedback, and level up with ranks, mastery and badges.
Plan: Free trains 6-max, 50 hands/day · Pro 🔒 unlocks HU and 9-max, the advanced scenarios and unlimited training
What it's for
Knowing the right range is one thing; running it on autopilot is another. Training locks in your preflop fundamentals through repetition: a hand shows up, you decide, and the app tells you right away if you got it right — backed by the solver's exact frequency. It's a quiz with the look of a poker table.
Choose the format: HU, 6-max or 9-max
Each format is a different game — positions change, who opens changes, and the button's opening range in 9-max isn't the same as in 6-max (in HU you open half your hands). Training one and sitting down at another is guesswork. In the Configure training popup, the Format selector switches the table:
- 6-max (free): the 6-seat table, the online cash standard.
- 9-max (Pro): full ring, with the extra positions (UTG+1, UTG+2, LJ…).
- HU / heads-up (Pro): a 2-seat table — just SB (button) and BB.
The table redraws itself to 2, 6 or 9 seats and the available positions change on their own.
What you can train
Several scenarios, not just opening:
- RFI (open): you're first to enter the pot. Fold or Raise.
- Vs-open: someone opened before you. Fold, Call or 3-bet.
- Vs 3-bet, vs 4-bet and Isolate (limper): re-raised pots and isolating limpers — the more advanced scenarios (Pro).
In Configure training you pick one scenario or leave it on "All" (the app draws scenarios at the table's real frequency, not evenly — opening comes up more than facing a 4-bet, just like in real life). You can also filter by position and difficulty (easy / medium / hard — medium prioritizes decision hands, the edge of the range, instead of filling the screen with obvious folds).
Which range to train against: GG, PokerStars or yours
Still in the popup, the room selector (3-way):
- GG: the reference for GGPoker (Rush & Cash).
- PokerStars: the reference for PokerStars — different from GG because rake changes the correct play.
- Mine: your own ranges from the Ranges → My Range editor (6-max only — the custom data is 6-max).
The default is GG · 6-max · 100bb; you pick the rest. Train against the reference of the room where you play.
Rank, mastery and badges (gamification)
Training has a progress trail, in the chip at the top of the screen (click to open it):
- XP and rank: every hand trained earns XP; you climb from Beginner to Crusher.
- Mastery map: your hit rate by scenario, worst to best — and it's clickable: tap a scenario to drill straight into that spot.
- Badges and a daily streak: train today and the flame lights up; hit-streak milestones pop confetti.
Warm up on your leak (targeted training)
Training talks to the rest of the app: Diagnosis and the session check-in have a "Warm up in training" button that opens Training already on your focus leak's scenario (e.g., "Warm up on vs 3-bet"). That way practice attacks your real mistake, not a random spot.
How to use it
- Go to Training.
- (Optional) In Configure training, pick format, room, scenario, position and difficulty.
- The app draws a hand. Decide with the buttons or shortcuts (F = Fold, C = Call, R = Raise, space = next).
- See the instant feedback, watch your score climb and your XP add up.
When you get it wrong
A window with the solution opens over the table: the right action, the spot's context, the 13×13 grid with your hand highlighted, and the EV you left on the table with the play you chose. Closing the window keeps you on the same hand to restudy it; only "Continue" (or space) moves on.
The end-of-session report
When you finish (or hit the Free limit), a report shows up: how many hands, hit %, your worst scenario of the session, the hands you got wrong and your progress over the week. It's the summary of "how you did just now."
The Free plan limit
On Free you train 6-max, 50 hands per day (the counter resets the next day). Pro unlocks HU and 9-max, the advanced scenarios and unlimited training.
Tips
- Train the spot Diagnosis flagged as a leak — practice attacks your real mistake.
- Use the keyboard shortcuts: training goes a lot faster.
- Studied a format's range in the Ranges viewer? Train the same format here.
Common questions
- Is it a GTO solver? No. It's preflop fundamentals training (at 100bb), with the solver's frequency — without the weight of a postflop solver.
- Why can I only train 6-max on Free? HU and 9-max are Pro. 6-max, which is what most people play, stays free.
- Does the depth (stack) change in training? In Training it's fixed at 100bb; to study other depths (40–200bb), use the Ranges viewer.
