01 / what you can study

Study the decision, not a disconnected chart.

A static chart shows one snapshot. Preflop Explorer keeps the action context, the previous range, and the current decision together.

01 / navigate

Follow legal action lines

Start at the root and choose each available raise, call, or fold to reach the exact spot you want to study.

02 / compare

Compare ranges side by side

Keep the previous player's strategy beside the current decision at the same grid size.

03 / inspect

Read the exact mixed strategy

Open any of the 169 hand classes to inspect its raise, call, and fold frequencies instead of a single simplified action.

02 / real product

Start at the root. Follow the line. Compare decisions.

06 / questions

Preflop Explorer questions, answered.

Is Preflop Explorer a poker range chart?

It is interactive rather than static. You can follow a legal 6-max action line, compare consecutive ranges, and inspect mixed frequencies for all 169 starting-hand classes.

Can I use it as a preflop trainer?

You can use the hosted product for range study and decision review. Developers can use Pokerai API to add quizzes, grading, spaced repetition, and other custom training modes.

Does the public browser expose a Pokerai API key?

No. The hosted explorer uses the signed-in user's same-origin session and a controlled application endpoint. Custom products should keep Pokerai API credentials in a trusted backend.

What can I build with Pokerai API beyond this explorer?

You can build custom range viewers, poker trainers, hand-review systems, coaching dashboards, and analysis workflows using the documented preflop, postflop, and solver API families.

Scope and provenance

Preflop Explorer is a first-party Pokerai interface built on the existing Preflop library. It is designed for presolved strategy study by authenticated users. It does not enable real-time assistance at real-money tables.
