The all player strategy histogram is a concise overview of the all players strategy charts in any preflop spot. It shows the actions frequencies of every player left to act. For example, you can see all players' raise first in strategies at once and when you hover over a bar, you’ll see the exact frequencies of the strategy for a given player.

Strategy view and macro reports
Strategy view
The Strategy tab is the default view. It shows where you are in the tree and lets you see an overview of the active player’s strategy in the current game tree node.

Additionally, while browsing postflop you can filter the strategy chart display to show the strategy only for the specific hand combos, depending on the suits they contain.
Filter the strategy chart by suit
Click on one or more suits from the selection on the left to only show combos where the high card contains that suit. The suits from the selection on the right will filter the low cards in the combos. Filtering for certain hand combos also updates the action frequencies displayed, so you can see the overall strategic frequencies taken by the filtered combos.
All players
All players tab allows you to view every active player's strategy for a specific spot at the same time. Click the All players tab to see what each player in the hand should do. By seeing it all in one place you can learn how the poker strategy changes with position at the poker table. See how to look up poker ranges for all players and across different stack sizes.
All Players and All Stack tabs

Strategy react
Strategy react feature
Strategy react feature allows you to see how certain hand combos react to your opponent’s actions. It is available for both preflop and postflop. Choose a player and action you are interested in and then hover over the strategy charts to look up the reaction frequencies. Default view shows the strategy-react for all hero actions at once, but you can select a specific hero action and villain bet or raise size to see the strategy-react for that line only. This is particularly useful when there are multiple bet sizes available. This way you can simplify the display and see how the reaction changes vs a small bet, a large bet, or vs an all in, for example.

The numbers at the top show the number of combos for players in the pot.
Use the dropdown menus to switch between range versus range view and the active player’s strategy breakdown.
Range vs Range
When browsing preflop spots, the range vs range feature shows the composition of preflop hand categories for the ranges in the mini grids. You can see whose range has the larger percentage of a given hand type, e.g. premium pairs, suited connectors etc. You can highlight those combos in the mini grids by clicking on one or more hand types.
When browsing postflop (Range Pro subscription), this feature shows a breakdown of range vs range comparison for the players in the pot by different postflop hand categories.For example, you can see who has the larger percentage of nut flushes or top pairs in their range. Clicking on one or more hand categories (e.g. top pair, two pair) on the panel highlights all combos of those categories in the mini grids.
Range vs range hand combos breakdown
Player Range Breakdown
When browsing preflop spots, this feature shows a breakdown of strategy for preflop hand categories for the active player. You can also analyze the composition of the range, i.e. what percentage a certain hand type is in relation to the whole range. For example, vs a UTG raise, MP strategy for premium pairs is to raise 69% and call 31%, and they make up 2.3% of MP's current range. You can highlight one or more hand combo types in the main strategy grid by clicking on or hovering over them in the strategy breakdown panel.
Active player range breakdown
When browsing postflop, the player range breakdown panel shows the active player’s range composition in terms of postflop hand strength grouping. Use the dropdown menu to switch between made hands (e.g. straight flush, full house etc), draws (e.g. combo draw, nut flush draw etc.) and equity groups (e.g top or bottom 25%). The panel also shows the action frequencies for each of those groups, along with the total number of hand combos and percentage of the range a given group makes up. Click on or hover over the listed groups to see them visualized in the strategy chart on the right side.

You can filter the histogram by board category, e.g. 2 broadway with ace, low paired, low unpaired etc. or input specific cards in the search field. It's also possible to refine your search using the sliders. To access the filter settings click the filter icon on the right hand side above the histogram.
See the latest updates of the aggregated reports and filters feature. Use the dropdown menu to filter by board category. Each of the available stats has a slider that you can use to show only flops that fall within a range.
Clicking on the bar chart icon next to each stat in the filters menu updates the histogram to include that stat, for example you can display a graph showing OOP x/r % by flop, or IP EV by flop.
You can use multiple sliders and filters together to build compound queries, giving a powerful tool to discover macro strategy insights. e.g. - to find out the highest IP check back flops where OOP cbets below a certain value, move the OOP cbet slider to the left, then sort the table by IP cbet.
Display any stat from the macro reports on the histogram
On turn and river the histogram becomes a poker heat map. It can display strategies, EV or EQ values and it can also be filtered by suit. The heatmap gives you a quick visual overview of action frequencies across all the possible turns or rivers, depending on the current street of action.
