If you’re serious about improving your decision-making in No Limit Texas Hold’em, you already know how overwhelming solver outputs can be. Staring at endless combo charts and strategy frequencies can feel like drinking from a firehose. That’s why we’re excited to introduce a powerful new tool inside PeakGTO’s library section: The Categories Feature.
What is the Categories feature?
Categories is a brand-new tool designed to break down solver outputs in a way that makes strategic patterns crystal clear. Instead of scrolling through hundreds of individual hand combos, Categories organizes your range into three essential sections:
- Made Hands
- Draws
- Equity Buckets
This structure allows you to quickly understand how your entire range plays, not just isolated hands.
How Does It Work?
Let’s look at a simple J65 rainbow flop example from the library.
When you open the Categories tab in this spot, you’ll immediately see your range broken down into recognizable hand types:
- Sets (Top Set, Middle Set, Bottom Set)
- Two Pairs
- Overpairs
- Top Pair, Second Pair, Third Pair
- Draws
- Straight draws or backdoor flush draws
- High Card / No Draw hands
For each of these categories, you can instantly visualize how the solver wants you to proceed:
- Small bet, big bet, check?
- How much equity are you holding when you choose each action?
The tool even highlights which hand types lean toward which action, so you can easily grasp why sets are betting small, overpairs are going big, and marginal top pairs prefer to check.
Why Does This Matter?
Solvers always knew this information—Categories just makes it digestible.
Instead of being forced to memorize endless strategy grids, you can now understand the underlying logic of GTO play at a glance.
For example:
- You’ll quickly see that top pair with backdoor flush draws checks less often than offsuit top pairs because of additional barrel opportunities.
- You’ll understand why weak pairs and air prefer to check, while your best hands lean into aggression.
- On turns and rivers, you’ll notice how premium hands rarely trap and how marginal hands check back more often.
Bonus: Opponent Range Breakdown
Categories isn’t just for your range—you can also toggle it to see how your opponent’s range is structured versus your actions. For example, when you pot the flop, you’ll notice right away that your opponent never raises two pair. Why? Because their best response is to let you keep betting and bluffing into them.
Final Thoughts
The Categories feature is one of the most player-friendly, value-packed additions to PeakGTO so far. It turns the overwhelming into the obvious, teaching you how to think about ranges the way top pros and GTO engines do.
Whether you’re a serious grinder or just starting to study theory, this is the tool that will help you bridge the gap between solver output and practical application.
Categories transforms data into insight. Use it. Learn from it. And start crushing.
