The range might seem too wide for your games, your coach might recommend something different, or you switch formats and realize your old ranges don\u2019t fit anymore. The problem isn\u2019t that the range is bad. The problem is that it\u2019s someone else\u2019s, and it doesn\u2019t account for your specific situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A custom preflop range is your personal strategy, tailored to your exact conditions: your poker room, your stakes, your player pool. In this article, we\u2019ll walk through the full process of building one \u2014 from choosing the right baseline to training the final result. We\u2019ll use FreeBetRange as our tool, since it has everything you need to work with ranges in one place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why you should create your own ranges instead of using ready-made ones<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A ready-made preflop range is a good starting point. But it\u2019s always designed for average conditions: a specific rake, stack depth, and player pool. As soon as even one of these factors differs significantly from your actual games, the range starts to break down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s look at three situations where a custom range gives you a clear edge:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Situation 1: Your player pool tendencies.<\/strong> If most players at your tables overfold to 3-bets and don\u2019t defend their blinds properly, a standard GTO range won\u2019t fully exploit these leaks. A custom exploitative range lets you systematically capitalize on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Situation 2: Working with a coach.<\/strong> Your coach gives specific advice: \u201cadd these hands from this position,\u201d \u201cremove these from your 3-bet bluffs.\u201d A custom range lets you lock in, structure, and consistently practice exactly the ranges you\u2019re working on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Situation 3: Moving to a new format or stake.<\/strong> When you switch formats (cash \u2192 MTT, 6-max \u2192 9-max) or stakes, standard ranges need adjustments. A custom range lets you make those changes deliberately instead of guessing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"16796\" src=\"https:\/\/hand2noteguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/\u0421\u043d\u0438\u043c\u043e\u043a-\u044d\u043a\u0440\u0430\u043d\u0430-2026-05-18-024740.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16796\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Button Open Raise &#8211; GTO Range<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"16795\" src=\"https:\/\/hand2noteguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/\u0421\u043d\u0438\u043c\u043e\u043a-\u044d\u043a\u0440\u0430\u043d\u0430-2026-05-18-024714.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16795\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Button Open Raise &#8211; Custom Range<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1. Choose the right baseline<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You don\u2019t need to start from scratch \u2014 and you don\u2019t need to be a solver expert. The right approach is to take a solid prebuilt range and adapt it to your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to get a baseline range<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>From the FreeBetRange library.<\/strong> This is the easiest option. The <a href=\"https:\/\/help.freebetrange.com\/Library\/\" id=\"https:\/\/help.freebetrange.com\/ru\/Library\/\">GTO Library<\/a> contains GTO ranges calculated by professional players using the HRC solver. You can choose ranges based on your format (Cash, MTT, or Spin&amp;Go), stack depth, and stakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The library offers two types of GTO solutions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>GTO<\/strong> \u2014 a full solution with mixed frequencies; precise but harder to memorize<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Simplified GTO<\/strong> \u2014 the same ranges, but all mixed frequencies are rounded to clear values (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%), making them much easier to use in practice<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hand2noteguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/\u0421\u043d\u0438\u043c\u043e\u043a-\u044d\u043a\u0440\u0430\u043d\u0430-2026-05-18-024859-1024x483.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16798\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>From Custom packages.<\/strong> The same library also includes a Custom section \u2014 ranges created by coaches and poker schools, combining a GTO foundation with exploitative adjustments for real games. If you play a specific format with a particular rake structure, these packages can be more accurate than pure GTO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to add a baseline to your account<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you find a suitable range in the library, click \u201cAdd to account.\u201d The range will appear in your <a href=\"https:\/\/help.freebetrange.com\/Editor\/\">Range Editor<\/a>. To avoid modifying the original while building your custom version, use Clone Folder \u2014 create an exact copy and work on that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"16799\" src=\"https:\/\/hand2noteguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/\u0421\u043d\u0438\u043c\u043e\u043a-\u044d\u043a\u0440\u0430\u043d\u0430-2026-05-18-024859ddd-1024x483.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16799\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"16800\" src=\"https:\/\/hand2noteguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/\u0421\u043d\u0438\u043c\u043e\u043a-\u044d\u043a\u0440\u0430\u043d\u0430-2026-05-18-025200-1024x485.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16800\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2. Adjust your opening ranges to your conditions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Opening ranges (RFI \u2014 Raise First In) are your foundation. This is where you define which hands you enter the pot with from each position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What affects opening range width<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/freebetrange.com\/academy\/poker-table-positions-a-simple-guide-for-beginners\/\">Position<\/a>.<\/strong> This is the most important factor. The later you act, the wider you can open: fewer opponents can have strong hands, and you\u2019ll more often play postflop in position. BTN opens much wider than UTG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Player types behind you.<\/strong> If there\u2019s a weak player (fish) in the BB, you can widen your opening range because you expect to realize more value postflop. That\u2019s why FreeBetRange allows a second color in the editor: one for \u201calways open,\u201d and another for \u201copen only vs weak BB.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Rake.<\/strong> High rake makes some marginal hands unprofitable \u2014 especially from early positions. On high-rake sites and stakes, you should tighten your EP ranges slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to do it in the Editor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Open the folder for the position you want to adjust. In the 13\u00d713 matrix, click hands to add or remove them. Choose the appropriate color (primary for baseline opens, secondary for conditional ones). Changes are saved automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hand2noteguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/\u0421\u043d\u0438\u043c\u043e\u043a-\u044d\u043a\u0440\u0430\u043d\u0430-2026-05-18-202318-1024x488.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16804\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practical adjustment rules<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Adjust hands in small groups: start with one category of marginal hands (e.g., weak offsuit aces), evaluate the logic, then move on<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Every change should have a clear reason: \u201cI add A3o on BTN because blinds overfold to steals\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid large deviations from GTO without exploitative justification \u2014 they create leaks in your range<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3. Build your 3-bet and defense ranges<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3-bet and blind defense ranges are the next layer of your custom setup. They determine what happens after someone has already opened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3-bet range structure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A solid 3-bet range consists of two parts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Value hands<\/strong> \u2014 strong hands you\u2019re happy to get money in with preflop (AA, KK, QQ, AKs, etc.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bluffs<\/strong> \u2014 hands too weak to call profitably but that benefit from fold equity (small suited connectors, weak suited aces)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The goal is balance: if you only 3-bet premium hands, opponents will overfold and you lose value from bluffs. If you only bluff, you lose EV when called.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">BB defense range<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The BB has to defend wide because it already has money invested and gets a good price to call. The key rule: defend often enough so BTN can\u2019t profitably open any two cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In your custom ranges, you can split defense into 3-bets and calls. The general idea: 3-bet strong hands (often polarized) and hands with good blocker effects, while calling with medium-strength hands (pairs, suited connectors).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hand2noteguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/\u0421\u043d\u0438\u043c\u043e\u043a-\u044d\u043a\u0440\u0430\u043d\u0430-2026-05-18-202505-1024x484.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16805\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Implementation in FreeBetRange<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For each opening range, create subranges (folders within folders). For example, inside CO Open Raise, create: \u201cvs 3-bet from BTN,\u201d \u201cvs 3-bet from BB,\u201d \u201cvs 3-bet from SB.\u201d FreeBetRange supports Clone Range \u2014 create one, clone it, rename it, and adjust the matrix for each position. This is much faster than building each range from scratch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hand2noteguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/\u0421\u043d\u0438\u043c\u043e\u043a-\u044d\u043a\u0440\u0430\u043d\u0430-2026-05-18-202800-1024x484.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16806\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4. Organize structure and set up colors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A well-structured range setup isn\u2019t just a set of matrices \u2014 it\u2019s a clear navigation system that\u2019s easy to use both at the table and during study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recommended folder structure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Your Strategy\n  \u2514\u2500 Format and Stakes (e.g., 6-max NL50)\n       \u2514\u2500 Stack Depth (100bb)\n            \u251c\u2500 UTG \/ EP\n            \u251c\u2500 MP\n            \u251c\u2500 HJ\n            \u251c\u2500 CO\n            \u251c\u2500 BTN\n            \u251c\u2500 SB\n            \u2514\u2500 BB<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each position folder contains an opening range and subranges for responses to 3-bets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Color coding<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FreeBetRange allows you to use different colors for different actions or conditions. A standard system might look like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Primary color (e.g., green) \u2014 default action<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Secondary color (blue or yellow) \u2014 conditional action (e.g., vs weak player)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Third color \u2014 mixed-frequency action<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can customize colors in Settings. This doesn\u2019t affect the math, but it greatly improves usability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hand2noteguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/\u0421\u043d\u0438\u043c\u043e\u043a-\u044d\u043a\u0440\u0430\u043d\u0430-2026-05-18-202911-1024x485.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16807\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5. Validate your ranges and start training<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your custom ranges need to be tested and trained until decisions become automatic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Validation in Viewer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Open your custom ranges in the Viewer. Use Multi-Range mode to compare your version side by side with the baseline GTO from the library. Wherever your range differs, you should have a reason. If you see large unexplained deviations, it\u2019s likely an editing mistake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hand2noteguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/\u0421\u043d\u0438\u043c\u043e\u043a-\u044d\u043a\u0440\u0430\u043d\u0430-2026-05-18-203212-1024x485.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16808\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Training in Trainer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trainer in FreeBetRange offers two modes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Classic.<\/strong> You\u2019re dealt random hands in a given situation and choose an action \u2014 fold, call, or raise. The software immediately shows whether your decision matches your range. Perfect for drilling specific spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Range Drawing.<\/strong> You\u2019re given a scenario (e.g., CO vs 3-bet from BTN) and recreate the full range on an empty matrix. After finishing, you see your accuracy percentage and mistakes. This mode is especially useful for understanding overall range structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pro tip: in Trainer settings, disable obvious hands (AA, KK) and focus on marginal ones \u2014 that\u2019s where most real-table mistakes happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hand2noteguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/\u0421\u043d\u0438\u043c\u043e\u043a-\u044d\u043a\u0440\u0430\u043d\u0430-2026-05-18-203444-1024x490.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16809\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to share your ranges with a coach or friends<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FreeBetRange lets you generate a link to any range or folder in one click. Just copy the link and send it via any messenger. The recipient can open it without registration in view mode or import it into their account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is especially convenient for teamwork: a coach creates ranges and shares them with students, and students import and train with ready-made ranges without spending time building structure from scratch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hand2noteguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/\u0421\u043d\u0438\u043c\u043e\u043a-\u044d\u043a\u0440\u0430\u043d\u0430-2026-05-18-203701-1024x484.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16810\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common questions about building custom ranges<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Do I need to understand GTO to build custom ranges?<\/strong> Basic understanding helps, but it\u2019s not required. You can start with Simplified GTO from the library and make small, targeted adjustments with clear reasoning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How long does it take to build a full set of ranges?<\/strong> If you use a library range as a base, it can take anywhere from one evening to a few hours. Building from scratch may take several days of intensive work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How often should I update my ranges?<\/strong> When you change stakes, formats, or get new data about your player pool. There\u2019s no need to update weekly \u2014 make changes deliberately and for specific reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Can I build ranges for MTT or Spin&amp;Go, not just cash?<\/strong> Yes. FreeBetRange supports all formats, and the library includes MTT and Spin&amp;Go solutions. The process is the same, but you need to account for format specifics like ICM, changing stack depths, and antes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Building custom ranges isn\u2019t a one-time task \u2014 it\u2019s an ongoing process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Choose a solid baseline range in the FreeBetRange library<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clone the folder to preserve the original<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adjust opening ranges to your conditions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Build 3-bet and defense ranges using subranges<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Organize structure and configure colors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Validate in Viewer by comparing with the baseline<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Train until your decisions become automatic in Trainer<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FreeBetRange provides everything you need for this process in one place \u2014 from a library of precomputed baselines to a trainer where you lock in your results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s important to understand that your custom ranges are a living system, not a final destination. Over time, you\u2019ll better understand your games, receive new input from your coach, and move up in stakes. Each of these is a reason to return to the editor, make thoughtful adjustments, and run the updated version through Trainer again. That\u2019s how you build a strategy that actually works in your specific poker environment \u2014 not just in theory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Getting started isn\u2019t as hard as it seems. Your first custom ranges don\u2019t need to be perfect \u2014 what matters is that they\u2019re yours, with clear reasoning behind each decision. They\u2019ll improve over time. And FreeBetRange already gives you all the tools to make that happen.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-h2n-cta-button\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/api.freebetrange.com\/auth\/cognito?type=signup\" class=\"btn btn-primary btn-color-indigo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Create Your First Range in Freebetrange \u2192<\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most poker players run into the same issue at some point: you grab a range from the internet, start playing with it \u2014 and something feels off.
