Play both games

Texas Hold’em and Pot-Limit Omaha, as cash games and tournaments, from heads-up to nine players. Tournaments run as a single table or a multi-table field of up to 90 players, at four speeds. You can save a game and come back to it.

Get coached on every decision

Ask the coach before you act, or decide first and compare. It gives its play, the price you are being offered and your chance of winning, with the reason.

See what your mistakes cost

Your first choice is the one that counts, and each miss is measured in big blinds, so you can see which habits cost you the most. Asking the coach first is never scored against you.

Review and replay your hands

Step through a hand one action at a time with the coach’s verdict on each of your moves, or play it again with the same cards and try a different line.

Practice your weak spots

The site keeps track of the situations where your decisions cost you the most, and lets you practice them as quick questions or as full hands at the table.

Learn from the beginning

Short lessons at the real table teach each game from the very start: eight for Texas Hold’em and ten for Pot-Limit Omaha. No experience is needed. They come with the coaching levels.

Choose your table

Opponents come in five playing styles, from rocks who rarely enter a pot to maniacs who bet at every chance, at Easy, Standard or Tough tables. You can hide their styles and work out who is who from how they play.

Play on any device

It runs in the web browser on a phone, tablet or computer, with nothing to install. Your progress is saved to your account, separately for each game.

Also included: a bankroll guide and a guide to every poker hand in both games; range charts by seat, a what-if calculator and four coaching styles to study in Texas Hold’em; a hand reader and starting hands by seat in Pot-Limit Omaha.

Beginner

For people who are new to poker or still learning the basics. The coach gives its pick, your hand and one plain reason, with poker terms explained, and teaches the by-the-book play. The table is easier.

Intermediate

For people who know the rules and want to sharpen their play. The coach gives its full reasons, including how each opponent plays.

Advanced

For people who play regularly. The coach adds the hands each opponent is likely to hold, how they narrow street by street, and the numbers.

All three coaching levels are currently free. The plan is that anyone can play both games without coaching at no charge, and that coaching becomes a paid subscription at three levels, Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced, one level at a time as each is fully built out. The pricing model is still to be determined and is subject to change, and we will say so well ahead of any change. See what each is planned to include.
