# Strategies

> What strategies are and how they organize your poker study.

## 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](/concepts/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.

## Strategy limits by plan

| Plan  | Max strategies |
| ----- | -------------- |
| Free  | 5              |
| Pro   | 50             |
| Elite | 200            |

## What you can do with strategies

* **Create** a new strategy from scratch
* **Duplicate** an existing strategy to create a modified copy
* **Add from Library** — grab a pre-built strategy from the GTO Library
* **Import** a `.rsharp` configuration file containing a full strategy
* **Delete** strategies you no longer need
