One of the biggest leaks tournament poker players have is playing incorrect preflop ranges. By playing weak ranges, it causes them to end up in difficult post-flop situations with marginal hands. When you play solid, balanced preflop ranges your post-flop decisions become much easier to make and your win rate will increase. If you have ever been left wondering if you made the correct preflop decision or just want to freshen up on your understanding of preflop ranges, the folks over at Poker Masterminds have just what you need.

The Preflop Advantage is a mobile app created specifically for tournaments player who are looking to develop solid preflop fundamentals and develop a better understanding of how they should be constructing their preflop ranges. The app is available for both iOS and Android devices and features 625 preflop tournament ranges for 9 different preflop situations. It is intuitively designed, easy to use, and the perfect companion for both live and online play so you can check and see what ranges you should be playing at the poker tables.

How ranges were constructed

The ranges featured by The Preflop Advantage were created using PioSolver, MonkerSolver, HRC, and Poker Snowie and are designed to give you the winning preflop edge so you can go deeper in tournaments and win more money. In other words, this app gives you the same ranges the pros are playing without spending an arm and a leg on a poker training site. Plainly put, if you play tournament poker, this app is for you.

Features and usability

One of the best things about the app is its simplicity and ease of use. The 625 preflop ranges are broken down into the following 9 preflop situations:

  • Open Raising
  • Flatting / 3 Betting
  • Multi – Way
  • Rejamming
  • Calling Rejams
  • Push / Fold
  • Blind vs. Blind
  • BB Defending
  • Advanced Limping

Each situation has ranges for each position and stack size that are accessible by tapping the relevant button on the screen.

There is also a little button on the top right corner that (when tapped) gives you information about the current preflop situation you are viewing. It gives you the basics of what the situation is, what sizing to use, and some common adjustments you can make.

Who is the app for?

The Preflop Advantage mobile poker app would be a beneficial tool for any serious tournament player who is looking to take their game to the next level.

  • proper use of the app will solidify your fundamentals, enabling you to make deeper tournament runs
