Studying a range often means taking a closer look at how particular types of hands are played.
Finding those hands among thousands of combinations (and sometimes even more) can take time, especially when you want to combine several conditions. Syntax AI, the AI assistant in PLO Genius, makes this task easier: describe the hands you want to see, and it creates the filter for you.
Examining how different hands play is an essential part of studying PLO. Filters help you narrow down a range, but writing the syntax for a specific combination of made hands, draws, and blockers can take some practice.
Powered by Anthropic technology, Syntax AI turns plain-language requests into filters you can apply directly in PLO Genius.
You can use it preflop and postflop to include or exclude specific ranks, suit combinations, hand categories, and draws. Whether you want only broadway cards, cards ranked between 5 and 9, or a pair with a particular draw, you can describe what you need.

Let’s look at a PLO6 example at 100 BB.
You open from the Button, the Big Blind calls, and the flop comes 974 rainbow. After the Big Blind checks, you want to examine the c-betting strategy for a specific group of hands.
Enter the following request:
Overpairs other than aces, with exactly two backdoor flush draws and no open-ended straight draw.
The assistant generates the following filter:
@OVERPAIR:!AA:!@OESD:(hh:dd,hh:cc,dd:cc):!(hh:dd:cc)
It also explains each part of the syntax, so you can check how the filter matches your request and learn how to build similar filters yourself.

Once applied, the filter lets you examine the strategy for those hands.
In this example, they c-bet 45.5% of the time, compared with 39.4% for the full range.
You can use the same process to explore other parts of a range, as long as the conditions you describe are supported by PLO Genius’s filter syntax.
Syntax AI is available to Edge and PRO subscribers for preflop and postflop study in PLO, PLO5, and PLO6.
