Poker Preflop Training for Live Cash Games

Win More at Live Poker through Exploitative Preflop Strategies!

Most live players hemorrhage chips preflop against weak opponents—then wonder why they're break-even.

GTO charts fail when opponents call any two, refuse to fold to 3-bets, and play face-up.

Preflop Shark gives you a learning-tool packaged as a game with exploitative ranges built for players who want to beat $1/$2—$5/$10 games.

Solutions are derived from the latest solver technologies and millions of data points from live Poker players.

Why Generic Charts Fail in Live Games

You Need Exploitative Ranges, Not Balanced Theory

Real player data icon vs. GTO Charts

GTO assumes opponents play perfectly. Live opponents don't. They call too much, fold too often, or 3-bet air. Our ranges exploit those exact imbalances using real population data from $1/$2–$5/$10.

Node-locked solver icon vs. Poker Coaches

Coaches charge $100–300/hour and give generic advice. Preflop Shark gives you villain-specific ranges, unlimited training drills, and solver-verified strategy for $19/month (or free for 14 days).

Profit icon vs. Solver Software

Clunky, unintuitive interfaces and steep learning curves, solvers struggle to provide an efficient learning experience. Our training game quizzes you in realistic scenarios until ranges are automatic.

How Much is Bad Preflop Play Costing You?

If you're playing the same ranges against a nit and a calling station, you're leaving 10–15bb/100 on the table. Here's how to fix it.

Methodology

The 3-Step Exploitative System

Step 1: Define your game configuration and your villains.

Step 2: Discover the most profitable strategy for that matchup.
