Hey guys,
I'm working on improving my fundamentals and I keep seeing how important it is to know preflop ranges. But… how do you actually memorize them?
You guys have any cheat or method to do it?
Tyvm!

Instead of memorizing the whole chart just memorize the bottom parts of it. So if suited kings goes down to K9, just memorize that, suited Queen and jacks the same way. Same with unsuited broadway cards.
It helps to make the charts yourself so you have to actually write it down. Then compare each chart to each position and see what’s changing. Don’t forget to make charts as your stack size changes. It’s work but it’s worth and. Then put it in a binder and you will always have it. Soon it just becomes muscle memory.
Hope this helps.

It's on the internet, freely available. Print it out and memorize it little by little.

Excelent that you're focusing on learning ranges!
I think is study and practice.
I usually I mark hands or write down situations where I have doubts, and then I review them after playing or any other day. GTO Wizard, even the free version, is really helpful.
As Danny said, it helps if you try to memorize the edges.
