Matrix View

The Matrix View in the Strategies section lets you explore GTO strategy for your entire range in seconds.
Pick your first two cards, then hover over the matrix to instantly see optimal play for any four-card combination. No clicks, no loading—just immediate strategy feedback.

Explore GTO strategy across your entire range instantly by hovering over hand combinations.

How It Works

The Matrix View displays every possible starting hand in a familiar grid layout.
Once you choose your first two hole cards, hover over any cell to reveal the GTO-recommended action for that specific four-card combo.

This instant interaction lets you study dozens of combinations rapidly, spotting strategic patterns and understanding how your range plays across different boards.
You can set up specific study scenarios in the Game Configuration menu.

Suit Tabs

The Matrix includes tabs labeled Single, Double, Triple, and 4s | Rainbow, which show how the GTO strategy changes based on the suits in your own hand, not the board.

• Single – Hands with one suit (single-suited).
• Double – Hands with two suits (double-suited).
• Triple – Hands with three cards of the same suit (triple-suited).
• 4s | Rainbow – Hands with all four suits, also called rainbow.

Switch between these tabs to see how your hand’s suit structure affects optimal play.
In PLO, suitedness has a major influence on preflop and postflop strategy, and these tabs make those differences easy to visualize.

The Meaning of “t” and “u”

You’ll notice two suit-quality categories labeled t and u.
These indicate whether the suited combinations are top or under quality.

Top (t) refers to good suits:

• Single-suited: highest-ranked card is suited with another card.
• Double-suited: two highest cards are not suited together.
• Triple-suited: highest card is suited with another card.
• 4s / Rainbow: all four cards share the same suit.

Under (u) refers to weak suits:

• Single-suited: highest card is not part of the suit.
• Double-suited: top two cards are suited to each other.
• Triple-suited: highest card not suited with any other card.
• 4s / Rainbow: all four suits different.

Matrix vs. Other Views

Use Matrix View for quick exploration and intuitive range visualization:

• Matrix View – Fastest way to understand overall range structure and hand clustering.
• Range Tab – Best for sorting by EV or filtering by specific actions.
• Strength View – Groups hands by made-hand and draw categories.

Each view complements the others, helping you analyze the same strategy from different angles.

Study Strategies

The Matrix View is ideal for:

• Memorizing ranges – See which hands belong to each action group.
• Finding polarization – Identify which hands bet for value versus bluff.
• Building intuition – Understand how GTO balances mixed-frequency decisions.

The hover system lets you move through large data sets effortlessly.
Regular study develops a visual understanding of balance, position effects, and board texture shifts.
