RangeIQ Poker — Open Raise to $20 vs Calling Station with 85% Confidence, full range grid and exploit reasoning

Same hand. Same board. Three opponents — three different right answers.

A solver gives you one balanced answer for all three. RangeIQ trains the adjustment that actually gets paid against each player — in dollars, with the reasoning spelled out. That difference is your edge.

What You Train

Six ways RangeIQ fixes the leaks that cost you real money.

Not flash cards. Not solver charts. Training built around the hands and the players in your actual game.

Think in Ranges, Not One Hand

Stop putting opponents on one hand. Build, visualize, and test ranges against real boards and real decisions.

Train Against 9 Real Player Types

From the Nit who only plays premiums to the Calling Station who never folds — train the specific adjustments that get paid against each one at live tables.

Fix One Street at a Time

Isolate flop, turn, and river decisions so you can fix the spots where your leaks cost the most.

Five-Minute Daily Drills

Short, focused training sessions designed to build consistency over time. Just five minutes a day compounds into a real edge.

IQ Reasoning™ — the Why Behind Every Answer

RangeIQ's proprietary coaching layer turns every recommendation into plain-English exploit logic — built into the engine, not bolted on. The math locks the answer. IQ Reasoning explains it.

Catch Yourself Drifting

RangeIQ tracks whether you make the same decision in the same spot — and shows you exactly where your logic falls apart when you're tired, stuck, or steaming.

How It Works

Turn every hand into a structured edge — in three steps.

01

Set the Scenario

Enter your hand, position, board texture, villain type, and game size. Full situational context in seconds.

02

Get the Analysis

RangeIQ evaluates range interactions, board dynamics, and villain tendencies — then delivers a clear, exploit-driven recommendation with exact bet sizing.

03

Build the Pattern

Repeat across sessions. Track your consistency, surface your leaks, and train the decision pathways that produce long-run edge.

Why Not Just Use a Solver?

Solvers teach perfect poker. Your Tuesday game isn't perfect.

GTO tools like GTO Wizard are genuinely good at what they do: showing you the balanced play against a perfect opponent. But the guy in seat 4 limping his fourth straight hand isn't balanced — and the balanced play leaves his money on the table.

RangeIQ trains the other half of the game: recognizing what each player type does wrong, and making the adjustment that gets paid. In dollars, not percentages. In plain English, not solver trees.

Already study with GTO? Good — keep it. Study the theory there. Train your live game here.

Introducing IQ Reasoning™

Coaching that's locked to the math.

"The engine locks the answer. IQ Reasoning explains it."

Most poker tools give you a recommendation and walk away. RangeIQ goes further. IQ Reasoning is our proprietary coaching layer — built directly into the engine — that translates every recommendation into plain-English exploit logic, hand by hand, spot by spot.

This isn't a generic explanation tool. It's RangeIQ technology, structurally locked so the coaching can never drift from the math.

  • Built into the engine, not bolted on
  • Plain-English coaching on every spot, every street
  • Exact dollar sizing — never percentages, never approximations
  • Locked against contradicting the engine's recommendation

Open Raise to $21
Open Raise · 85% Confidence
IQ Reasoning

Open raise to $21 from the button with pocket jacks — a premium hand that dominates the BB's checking range. This sizing isolates effectively and charges weaker holdings to call while extracting value from hands you're ahead of.

  • You dominate the BB's limping range with a pocket pair
  • Larger sizing reduces multiway equity loss and charges drawing hands
  • Iso raising to extract maximum value from a weak opening

Questions

Common questions, direct answers.

Live cash players at $1/$2, $1/$3, and $2/$5 who want to get better between sessions. If you know the basics and you're tired of donating to the same two players every Friday, you're who we built this for. You don't need any solver experience — everything is explained in plain English and real dollars.
A solver tells you the balanced play against a perfect opponent — useful theory, hard to use at a live table. RangeIQ starts from the opposite end: who are you actually playing against? Pick one of 9 player types, set up the hand, and get the adjustment that profits from that player's specific mistakes — as a dollar amount, with the reasoning written out. Solvers teach balance. RangeIQ trains exploits.
Every recommendation RangeIQ makes comes from deterministic engine math — the same spot always produces the same answer. IQ Reasoning is the coaching layer on top: it turns that answer into plain English. Why this size, against this player, on this board. It's structurally locked to the engine, so the explanation can never contradict the math. You get the answer and the why, every time.
No — it's a complement. GTO Wizard teaches balanced ranges and equilibrium theory. RangeIQ trains you to exploit the specific player types sitting across from you at a live table. Plenty of our users run both: theory there, live-game training here. See the full comparison →   Read the deep dive →
No. RangeIQ runs entirely in your browser — no downloads, no plugins, and no setup required. Just open the app, enter a spot, and start training immediately. Phone, tablet, or laptop — if it has a browser, you can train on it.
No-Limit Hold'em, with live cash games at $1/$2 through $2/$5 as the home turf — every example in our library is a real live-stakes spot. The engine covers every seat from UTG through the big blind, short-handed through full-ring, and works for tournament players too.
Your drills, saved hands, and progress are saved to your account so your study history follows you across devices. We don't sell or share your personal data — ever. When IQ Reasoning explains a spot, only the hand details (cards, board, position, opponent type, sizing) are processed to generate the explanation — never your name or email — and that data is never used to train AI models. Full details are in our Privacy Policy.

No. RangeIQ is a poker education and training tool — think chess training software, but for live No-Limit Hold'em. No real money is wagered, no games are played, and no betting happens anywhere on the platform. You study and drill between sessions; what you do at the table is your game, played on your own. RangeIQ is for users 18 and over.
Early Players

What early players told us.

Collected from players during our May 2026 launch and shared with permission. We'll add names and rooms as players opt in — no stock photos, no invented quotes.

"I've tried some of the solver stuff and honestly it just never clicked for me. RangeIQ makes a lot more sense for the games I play. Being able to look at a hand based on the type of player I was against has been really helpful. It's made me think more about the player and less about trying to find some perfect textbook answer."
Live $1/$3 player
"My biggest leak has always been making calls when I pretty much know I'm beat. RangeIQ has helped me slow down and be more honest about who I'm playing against. A big bet from a loose aggressive player is not the same thing as a big bet from the guy who hasn't played a hand in an hour."
$1/$3 regular
"I probably play live once or twice a month, mostly $1/$2, and I just wanted something simple that could help me make better decisions. RangeIQ has been easy to use. The explanations are straightforward and not full of poker jargon. I feel like I'm making fewer dumb mistakes."
Recreational $1/$2 player
"A lot of poker software seems designed for people playing online against solid regulars. That's not the game I'm in. RangeIQ gets you thinking about adjustments: value betting bigger against someone who calls too much, choosing a sizing that makes sense in real dollars. As a study tool for live poker, it's probably the most practical one I've used."
Live $2/$5 player

Who's behind this?

RangeIQ is built by the team behind Between the Cards, the live-poker strategy channel. We built it because solver tools never matched the $1/$3 games we actually play in — limped pots, four-way flops, and opponents who have never heard of a mixed strategy.
