Strategies

What is a strategy?

A strategy is the top-level container for your poker ranges in RangeSharp. It represents a complete set of preflop decisions for a particular game format. Think of a strategy like a playbook. It holds all the individual situations (called spots) that you want to study and train for that game type.

Examples of strategies

Strategy name	Game format	What it contains
6-Max Cash 100bb	Cash game, 6-max	Opening, 3-bet, call, and fold ranges for every position
MTT 25bb Push/Fold	Tournament, full ring	Shove and fold ranges for every position at 25bb effective
Spin & Go 15bb	Spin, 3-handed	Open, call, and 3-bet ranges adjusted for short-handed play
Coach Alex: Exploitative	Cash game, 6-max	Custom ranges from a coaching package

Strategy properties

When you create a strategy, you configure these properties:

Property	Description
Name	A descriptive name for the strategy
Game format	Cash, MTT, Spin & Go, or other formats
Table size	6-max, 9-max, heads-up, etc.
Stack depth	Default effective stack size (e.g., 100bb)
Source	Where the strategy came from — custom, solver, library

How strategies fit together

Strategy (e.g., "6-Max Cash 100bb")
├── Spot: UTG Open Raise
├── Spot: UTG Fold
├── Spot: MP Open Raise
├── Spot: MP vs UTG Open → 3-Bet
├── Spot: MP vs UTG Open → Call
├── Spot: CO Open Raise
│   └── Spot: CO Open → BTN 3-Bet → 4-Bet  (subrange)
│   └── Spot: CO Open → BTN 3-Bet → Call    (subrange)
└── ...more spots

Each strategy contains one or more spots. Spots can also have child spots (subranges) to represent continuation decisions in the action tree.
