Poker Assistant

How it works

One study session, start to finish

This is what a Tuesday night with Poker Assistant looks like. Load a solution, read a spot, import the hands you played, find the one that cost the most, and drill it until it stops costing you.

  1. 1

    Load a solution

    Open Solutions and pick the free heads-up set or an installed pack. The library lists every solved structure with its stack ladder, so you load the one that matches the game you play.

    Read the spot

    The grid is every hand you could hold. Colour is the action, height is the frequency, and the ladder on the right says how often each action is taken across the whole range. Click a hand to see its exact mix.

  3. 3

    Change the question

    The same spot answers three questions. Strategy says what to do. EV says what each action is worth in big blinds. Equity says how the hand does against the range it is up against, before anyone acts.

    Strategy

    EV

    Equity

    One spot, three lenses; the EV view shows the raise and the fold within a tenth of a big blind for the hands that mix.
  4. Solving

    Re-solved

    See the whole board at once

    Aggregate reports solve a sample of flops and chart how the strategy moves with texture. You read the average and slice it: bet more on rainbow boards, check more on monotone ones.

    Bar chart of bet frequency by flop, with an overall panel of average expected value and equity beside it.
    Bet frequency runs from 58% to 71% across the boards shown, twenty-four flops sampled from 1,755.
  6. 5

    Import the hands you played

    Paste or open a hand history from any of the five supported sites. The site is detected, each hand is solved on your machine, and the list sorts by the EV each decision lost.

    Screenshot of the Analyze hand list, each row showing its poker site and the EV lost.
    Forty imported hands sorted by EV loss put the expensive mistakes at the top.
  7. 6

    Open the hand

    Hand review replays the hand street by street against the solved strategy. At each decision you see what you did, what the mix was, and what the difference cost.

    Screenshot of a hand review panel grading two preflop decisions against the solver.
    The costliest street here is preflop: a limp then a shove grades Blunder, a quarter big blind lost.
  8. 7

    Drill it

    Send the spot to the trainer. It deals variations, grades each answer against the mix, and keeps your misses in a drill list for next time.

Poker Assistant is for work away from the table. Close it before you sit down.
