Learn the math first. Win the spots later.
Six bite-sized lessons that cover the foundations of tournament poker — pot odds, ranges, player types, and ICM. Each one has a plain-English read and a built-in practice drill, so you don't just nod along: you actually try it.
The trainer and chart viewer stay free up to your daily quota. Lessons + practice drills unlock with Pro.
Start here
Pot odds & equity
The price you're being offered, and the equity you need to call it. Learn the rule of 2 and 4 — and the spot where everyone gets it wrong.
- Read any bet sizing as a percentage you need to win
- Count outs and convert them to equity in seconds
- Avoid the rule-of-4 trap when you aren't all-in
VPIP, PFR & 3-bet
The three numbers that classify every opponent at the table. Read the gap between them and you read the player.
- Tag any opponent as nit, TAG, LAG, station, or maniac
- Use the VPIP–PFR gap to spot loose-passive players instantly
- Know which stats actually drive your exploit choices
Core skills
Reading range charts
Hand notation, position theory, and how to use the chart viewer to study any opening or defense range like a solver.
- Decode AKs vs AKo and pair / suited / offsuit notation
- Understand why the same hand plays differently from UTG vs BTN
- Navigate the trainer's chart viewer with intent
Building player profiles
Nit, TAG, LAG, station, maniac, whale. Spot each type live, and apply the exploit shift that beats them.
- Identify each profile from a few visible tendencies
- Apply per-profile exploit shifts in real time
- Stop playing GTO against opponents who beat themselves

Implied & reverse implied odds
When future winnings flip a losing call into a winning one — and the reverse trap of paying off when you make the second-best hand.
- Recognise spots where a gutshot is actually printing
- Tell when 'implied odds' is wishful thinking, not math
- Avoid bleed-money pay-offs against polarised ranges
ICM & bubble play
Chips don't equal dollars near the money. Learn the pressure points that turn marginal spots into max-fold or max-fold-the-table.
- Distinguish chip-EV from real-money EV
- Tighten calling ranges when ICM pressure is highest
- Use stack distribution to choose who to attack
Read a lesson, then put it to work at the trainer.
Theory is cheap. The trainer drops you into randomised spots, grades your decision, and shows the EV math behind it.
