When you login to PLO Trainer, you will land in the "Study mode". By default the GGPoker low stakes preflop solution will be loaded (or your last used preflop profile).

The player currently highlighted in green on the poker table is the player for whom the range is being displayed on the right side of the screen.

If you want to switch the action from one player to another, use the Action Bar located above the poker table. For example:

This makes it easy to move through the preflop sequence and study each position in detail.

In the top-left corner of the window, you will find a switcher to toggle between:

If you click on 5-Card, the 5-Card PLO Trainer will open in a new window.

Below the PLO switcher is the Select Scenario menu. This section shows the currently loaded preflop profile.

To change profiles:

Below the poker table, you will find the Preflop Categories section.

Because PLO has an extremely large number of possible starting hand combinations, studying preflop strategy can quickly become overwhelming. These categories are created specifically to help you:

Each category is represented as a bar chart showing:

Example:

This helps you see not only how hands play, but also how important each category is to your overall range.

The right side of the screen displays your Range View for the player currently highlighted in green. At the top, you can use the filter bar to search for any specific hand.
Example: typing “KK” will display all pocket-king combinations.

The Range View consists of several columns representing:

Hand:

The specific representative combo. Example top right:
AAKK (double-suited, spades + hearts) is shown as an open raise.

Frequency:

How often this exact combo takes that action.
​AAKKds open-raises the full pot 100% of the time.

EV (Expected Value):

The EV of taking the listed action.
The EV for open-raising AAKKds is +3.79 bb.

EV Difference:

EV Difference shows you how much better the best action is vs the next best possible action. In this example open raising AAKK$ds is +3.79 bb better than folding.

Weight:

Weight indicates how many combinations of this exact hand appear in your preflop range. Since each suited version of AAKK is unique, the weight here is 1.

Preflop ranges in PLO Trainer use suit simplifications. This means:

Example:

These hands play identically preflop, so only one version is shown.

The Matrix gives you a visual, 13×13 grid representation of your range, similar to the matrix used in No-Limit Hold’em. It’s designed to help you quickly recognize patterns across different hand classes and understand how suits and structure influence your strategy. It's available preflop and on the flop.

To use the Matrix, simply select your two highest cards or the pocket pair (pocket pairs appear on the diagonal).

You can apply filters (you find these on the right side of the matrix) such as double-suited or single-suited—to zoom into specific sub-hand classes. Clicking a cell reveals all the side-card combinations and how each version of the hand plays.

The Matrix gives you an efficient, high-level way to explore your range before diving deeper into individual combos. We strongly recommend using the filters on the right side of the matrix to make the most sense of the visual data.

To start training in PLO Trainer, simply click the Train button in the top-right corner of the Range View. This immediately launches a training session for the exact node you’re currently studying.

You can train either your entire range or a filtered range.

Once training begins, you’ll be dealt immediately hands from the selected range. Use the action buttons below the poker table to choose your actions and play through the spot.

On the right side of the training window, you’ll find the History Panel, which tracks every hand you’ve played in the current session. It shows:

You can click any hand in the list to review it, see the optimal action, and understand how your choice compared in terms of EV. If you click the Study this hand button it will open up a new window in which you can study this hand further in the "study mode".

The info panel on the top right will display information for the full range, category and matrix.

You can choose between Cash or MTT, select different stakes, and pick from a variety of preflop scenarios. For example, you can train open raising, playing against a single raiser in position or play random preflop hands from all positions.

Skills are especially useful for anyone looking to quickly jump into training, get familiar with the interface, and start building pattern recognition and decision-making PLO.

To move from the flop to the turn in the PLO Trainer:

From the turn, you can repeat the same process to open a river card.

The Equity Graph in the PLO Trainer shows how much equity each player has on a specific board texture based on the ranges in play. You can view it on the flop, turn, and river. The graph sorts both players’ ranges from strongest to weakest (left to right).

The distance between the two lines represents the advantage:

This helps you quickly understand who is ahead and how the ranges interact on any street.

Aggregated Reports in the PLO Trainer give you a visual overview of how a player plays on all available flops in a specific scenario.

All flops are listed below each other, and each one includes a bar chart showing the action frequencies for that flop. This lets you quickly see how strategies change across different textures in a single, unified view.

You can:

Aggregated Reports are a powerful way to identify patterns and understand flop strategies at a glance.
