Frequently Asked Questions

GTO Range Trainer is a real-time poker coaching tool that runs in your web browser. You mirror your live table by entering seat positions, stack sizes, hole cards, and board cards — and the trainer instantly tells you the GTO-recommended action with sizing.

It's designed to be used side-by-side with your actual game so that every hand becomes a learning opportunity. It does not connect to or interact with any poker platform — you simply keep it open in a second browser window or on a second screen.

GTO stands for Game Theory Optimal — a strategy approach in poker that is theoretically unexploitable. A GTO player makes decisions based on balanced ranges rather than exploitative guesses, meaning opponents cannot gain an edge simply by adjusting their strategy.

Learning GTO concepts helps you build a solid strategic foundation, understand why certain plays are correct, and recognize deviations that can be exploited over time.

No, and we will never claim that it does. GTO Range Trainer is strictly an educational training tool. It provides GTO-based recommendations to help you understand correct strategy — it does not guarantee any particular results at the table.

Poker involves skill, variance, and many other factors. What the trainer does is maximize your learning efficiency by giving you real-time feedback on every decision rather than reviewing hands hours later.

The trainer currently supports Texas Hold'em in both Cash Game and MTT (tournament) formats. It includes GTO preflop range tables for:

• 6-max tables (2–6 players)
• 9-max tables (2–9 players)
• Heads-up (2 players)

Opening ranges, 3-bet responses, and 4-bet response trees are all included. Postflop guidance uses Monte Carlo equity simulation against full opponent ranges with board-texture awareness.

GTO Range Trainer is optimized for desktop and laptop use, where you can run it alongside your game on a second screen or second window. The interface includes a full card picker, action buttons, and side panels that are best experienced at full screen width.

While it may load on a tablet or large phone, the side-by-side live coaching use case works best on a desktop setup.

Basic — $99 one-time gives you full access to the GTO Range Trainer — the complete live coaching tool with preflop ranges, postflop equity analysis, bet sizing presets, and everything described above. One payment, no recurring charges.

Diamond Club — $49/month includes everything in Basic plus four additional features designed for serious students:

• Session Logger — tracks hands played, decisions made, and estimated EV of your choices
• Range Visualization Overlays — see your range vs. villain range side by side
• Custom Range Editor — build and save your own opening and 3-bet ranges
• Hand History Importer — import hands directly from WSOP/Caesars to auto-populate the trainer

No. All users — including Basic members — have their session activity tracked from the moment they create an account. When you upgrade to Diamond Club, your full hand history (up to 500 most recent hands for Basic users) is already there waiting for you.

This means you can start with Basic today and upgrade whenever you're ready without losing any data.

Yes, absolutely. You can cancel your Diamond Club membership at any time from your account dashboard. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period — you will retain Diamond Club access through the date already paid for.

After cancellation, your account reverts to Basic access and your hand history is preserved.

Due to the digital nature of the product, all sales are final once the product has been accessed. If you experience a technical issue that prevents you from using the Service, please contact us at support@gtorangetrainer.com and we'll work to resolve it promptly.

Each account is licensed for a single user on their personal devices. You can access GTO Range Trainer from your desktop, laptop, or any device you personally own. Account sharing — allowing another person to use your credentials — is not permitted under our Terms of Service.

No. GTO Range Trainer has no connection to any poker platform whatsoever. It does not read your screen, inject code, or communicate with WSOP, Caesars, or any other site. You manually enter the table state — positions, stacks, cards, actions — just as you would describe a hand to a coach.

This makes it compliant with the terms of service of any poker platform, since it functions purely as an independent study tool running in a separate browser window.

The basic setup takes under a minute:

• Set your big blind amount (e.g. $0.05 for 5¢ games)
• Select your table format (Cash/MTT, 6-max/9-max, number of seats)
• Enter starting stacks for each seat
• Click a seat to place the dealer button
• From there, each hand starts automatically — select your hole cards, click actions for each player in turn, and read the recommendation panel on the right

A detailed user guide is available after login.

The trainer includes keyboard shortcuts for fast one-handed action entry:

• F — Fold (current actor)
• C — Call/Check (hero)
• X — Check (opponent)
• Space — Next hand
• Esc — Clear / reset current selection

The trainer uses Monte Carlo simulation running approximately 4,000 samples per calculation, chunked asynchronously so the interface stays responsive while computing. At 4,000 samples the equity estimates are accurate to within roughly ±1–2% for most hand situations.

For very common hands (pocket pairs, Broadway cards) where the outcome is quickly apparent, the trainer also provides immediate provisional advice based on hand strength before simulation completes — so you're never waiting on a recommendation for a clear spot.

GTO Range Trainer runs in any modern web browser and requires no installation. Supported browsers include:

• Google Chrome (recommended)
• Mozilla Firefox
• Microsoft Edge
• Safari (macOS)

Compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux. An internet connection is required to log in and sync session data; once loaded, the trainer itself runs fully client-side and can withstand brief connection interruptions.

Yes. All session data is stored securely in our database and is not dependent on your local device. You can access your hand history from any device you log in from. Diamond Club members can also export their hand history at any time from the dashboard.
