# RNG & Mixed Strategies

> How the random number generator works for training mixed-strategy hands.

<Note>
  RNG-based training is available on **Pro** and **Elite** plans.
</Note>

## What is RNG in poker training?

Many solver ranges include **mixed strategies** — hands where the correct play is to take different actions at different frequencies. For example, a solver might say to raise AJo 65% of the time and call 35%.

At the actual poker table, you'd use a randomization method (like checking the second hand on a clock or using a mental number) to decide which action to take. RangeSharp's **RNG (Random Number Generator)** simulates this process during training.

## How it works

When RNG is enabled and you're dealt a mixed-strategy hand:

1. RangeSharp generates a random number between 0 and 100.
2. The **RNG bar** displays this number visually.
3. You check where the number falls relative to the action frequencies.
4. You choose the action that corresponds to that range on the RNG bar.

### Example

Suppose AJo has these frequencies: Raise 65%, Call 35%.

* Random number is **42** → Falls in the Raise zone (0–65) → Correct answer is **Raise**
* Random number is **78** → Falls in the Call zone (66–100) → Correct answer is **Call**

## The RNG bar

The RNG bar appears during training when you're dealt a mixed-strategy hand. It shows:

* A horizontal bar divided into colored segments, one per action
* The segments are sized proportionally to the action frequencies
* A marker showing where the random number falls
* The number itself displayed above the marker

## Enabling RNG

### In a study plan

1. Open or edit a study plan.
2. Toggle **RNG Enabled** to on.
3. Mixed-strategy hands will now use the RNG during training.

### In training preferences

1. Go to **Settings → Preferences**.
2. Under **Training**, toggle RNG settings.
3. You can also configure the RNG bar orientation (horizontal/vertical).

## Training without RNG

When RNG is disabled, mixed-strategy hands accept **any** of the valid actions as correct. If a hand is 65% Raise / 35% Call, answering either Raise or Call is marked as correct.

This is useful when you're still learning the basic range and don't want to worry about frequency precision yet.

## Tips

<Tip>
  **Learn the range first, then add RNG.** Master which hands belong to each action in Decision mode without RNG. Once you're consistently accurate, enable RNG to practice frequency-correct play.
</Tip>

* Start without RNG to build confidence
* Enable RNG once you're scoring above 80% accuracy
* Pay attention to the threshold numbers — knowing that AJo switches at 65 is a useful mental anchor for real play
