Range & React

Know their range. Know their tendencies. Everything else is noise.

A training site for serious live players and coaches who want to focus on what actually drives decisions.

Most poker mistakes do not come from a lack of knowledge. They come from losing focus on what matters most in the moment. Range & React helps players build a repeatable process for updating an opponent’s range based on previous actions and predicting how that range will react based on player-specific tendencies.

Common live opponent types with real tendencies

Range buckets you can actually hold in your head

Metrics that reveal where players excel or struggle

Built for live poker

The goal is not to memorize solver output. It is to understand how real opponents arrive at a spot and how they are likely to react.

Train the decision loop

Start with a player type, adjust their starting range, narrow it street by street, then predict how each bucket responds before you act.

Track what improves

Villain Ranging and Action Prediction stay separate, making it clear where players excel, where they struggle, and how they improve over time.

Coach-ready workflow

Assignments, pool analytics, recent debriefs, and player oversight all live inside one training environment.

Meet your opponents

Every villain is built around a real, defined tendency profile.

Mike

Nit

A tight, face-up opponent who under-bluffs, avoids big bets, and rarely goes for thin value.

Tom

Calling Station

A passive, sticky opponent who overcalls across streets, stays fairly inelastic, and is value-heavy when aggressive.

Blake

Loose Reg

A somewhat thinking opponent who opens too wide, overcalls a bit too much, and can become face-up in tougher spots.

Dave

Chaser

A passive, draw-driven opponent who overcalls early streets, is value-heavy when aggressive, and wants to see all five cards.

Alex

ABC Reg

A straightforward, slightly winning opponent who is capable of bluffing, but ties aggression to stronger holdings and rarely finds creative lines.

Steve

Maniac

An erratic, action-driven opponent who loves to bluff, hates folding, and is not afraid to play big pots.

Erik

TAG

A sharp, aggressive opponent who is more balanced, applies pressure well, and is the toughest player in the pool to train against.

Core pillar

Narrowing down their range

Every rep starts with a selected preflop scenario and a default range tied to that spot. From there, you adjust that starting range based on the specific opponent type you are playing against.

As the hand develops, each action gives you new information. You remove what no longer fits, keep what still makes sense, and carry that updated range from preflop all the way to the river.

Core pillar

Anticipate their action

Once you have an understanding of their current range, it is time to focus on how each part of that range will react to the available actions in front of you.

In the training environment, you map how each bucket in your opponent’s range is likely to respond to each action available to you, helping you compare outcomes and choose the best line instead of just a good one.
