Methods, rules & limits

Equity is not a read

Estimates use your cards, the visible board, random unknown hands and random future community cards. They do not use opponents’ hidden cards, personalities or deck order. Real opponents choose which hands to play, so their ranges can differ greatly from random hands.

The meter beside your cards compares made hands on the current board. “Your hand odds” includes future community cards. Pot share includes ties; outright win percentage does not.

The approximate 98% normal sampling interval describes Monte Carlo uncertainty only. It is not a 98% guarantee against an opponent or a measure of model error.

Advice is a study prompt

Call cost ÷ (eligible current pot + call cost) is the share needed to break even if there are no more bets. Future raises, equity realization, position, opponent ranges and tournament survival can change the decision. The app does not solve those factors or calculate ICM.

“Check or Raise” and raise sizes are practice heuristics, not professional opening ranges or optimal strategy. Checking does not automatically disguise strength. Learning reviews report model agreement, not proof of a good or bad poker decision.

Play-chip results are not cash profits, ROI or a reliable skill rating. Short-term wins and losses include substantial variance.

Table rules

No-limit Texas Hold’em, one deck, best five cards, suit-neutral ties. Blinds rotate with the heads-up dealer/small-blind exception. Short all-ins do not automatically reopen raising. Uncalled chips are returned; side pots exclude players who have not matched their contribution level.

When betting is closed with an all-in, live hands are tabled before the runout. Each remaining board card is revealed with a delay. This app uses a moving button, hand-based blind escalation and no antes as explicit house rules.
