How to train preflop in Pokerscope
- 1
Choose your spot
Select a category and range. Start with one position so you can learn the pattern before mixing spots.
- 2
Make the preflop decision
Read your hole cards, position, stacks, and the action so far. Pick an action, then check the feedback against the training range.
- 3
Review and repeat
Check your accuracy, time, and individual answers after the drill. Open the range chart to revisit hands you missed.
Study the chart. Then test your recall.
Preflop range charts show how starting hands fit into a strategy. Drills help you check whether you can remember that strategy when you see a hand at the table.
Start in normal mode, then try advanced mode with RNG to practice mixed action frequencies. Review your answers and range chart after each session to find the hands that need another look.
Each answer is tied to the selected training range and scenario. Treat it as a study baseline; different stacks, bet sizes, and opponents can change the right decision in your own game.
Preflop trainer FAQ
What is a preflop trainer?
A preflop trainer presents poker hands before the flop and asks you to choose an action. Pokerscope compares your answers with the selected training range so you can practice recalling decisions instead of only reading charts.
Can I train preflop for free?
Pokerscope includes preflop drills on the free plan with a daily limit. Edge removes that limit. See the pricing page for current plan details.
Does the trainer include cash games and tournaments?
Yes. You can practice cash-game opening ranges, responses to opens, and responses to 3-bets, as well as tournament opening ranges at 10bb and 30bb.
What does advanced mode with RNG do?
Advanced mode adds a random number to each question. Use it with the action frequencies in the range to practice mixed decisions, where a hand takes different actions some of the time.
How is a preflop drill different from a range chart?
A chart lets you look up the strategy for every starting hand. A drill asks you to recall the action for one hand in a specific spot, then gives you feedback. Use the chart to study and the drill to check what you remember.
