Chapter 03

Browsing Spots

Find the exact PLO spot you want to study — browse by game type, filter by stack size and table size, then jump into analysis or training.

By Game Type

  1. 1
    Choose a Game Type

    From the Home Screen, tap a Game Type card (Cash, MTT, Bounty, etc.) to see all spots for that format.

  2. 2
    Browse by Table Size

    Spots are listed and grouped by table size. Each spot card shows the stack size (in big blinds), number of players, and game type.

  3. 3
    Apply Filters (Cash)

    Cash spots have additional filters for stack size range and table size to narrow down your search.

Spot Selection View

After selecting any spot, you'll see a table layout with seat positions and stack sizes. Three action buttons are available:

Assistant View

Interactive range lookup and runout analysis — walk through hands step by step and explore how ranges shift.

Strategy View

Colour-coded GTO strategy breakdown with action frequencies, category details, and runout selectors.

Spot Training

Train directly on this specific spot with instant GTO feedback.

Chapter 04

Spot Analysis Tools

Dive deep into any spot with two powerful analysis views — Assistant View for interactive exploration, and Strategy View for a comprehensive GTO breakdown.

Assistant View (Spot Runout)

An interactive tool for walking through hands step by step:

  1. 1
    Choose Your Hole Cards

    Use the card input keyboard to select your 4 hole cards — pick suit, then rank for each card.

  2. 2
    Choose Your Seat

    Select your position at the table from the dropdown.

  3. 3
    Explore the Action Tree

    The screen displays community cards, player positions, and an action tree showing the sequence of decisions. Available actions are shown with their frequencies.

  4. 4
    Navigate Lines

    Tap nodes in the action tree to explore different lines and see how ranges shift as the board develops.

Strategy View

Totals Section

An action percentage bar showing the overall frequency of each action, with a colour-coded legend for quick reference.

Categories Section

A detailed breakdown by action category, showing percentages for each action type — fold, call, raise sizes, and more.

Runout Selector

Switch between different board runouts to see how strategy changes across different community card combinations.

Offline Access

Strategy data can be downloaded for offline access — study spots without an internet connection.

Strategy View is a Pro feature with limited access on the free tier. Upgrade to Pro for full access.
Chapter 05

GTO Training

Put your PLO knowledge to the test. The app presents realistic scenarios and you choose the correct GTO action — with instant feedback and score tracking.

Training Hub

The training hub displays your cumulative performance stats:

Total Hands Lifetime training count across all sessions
Total EV Loss Aggregate expected value lost across all sessions
GTOR Score Your GTO Overall Rating
Assessment Percentage bars for Correct / OK / Mistakes

Quickstart Training

Tap Quickstart to begin with randomly selected scenarios. The app picks spots across game types and positions for well-rounded practice.

How a Training Hand Works

  1. 1
    View the Table

    You see the poker table with your seat position, hole cards, and the current board state. An action history scrollbar at the top shows the sequence of actions so far.

  2. 2
    Choose Your Action

    Select from the available actions (fold, call, raise, etc.) at the bottom of the screen.

  3. 3
    Get Instant Feedback

    After each decision, the app rates your choice: Correct (matches GTO), OK (acceptable but not optimal), or Mistake (significant deviation). Your GTO score updates in real time.

  4. 4
    Build Streaks

    A streak counter tracks consecutive correct answers. Longer streaks earn bonus score — the fastest way to climb the rankings.

Session Summary

Results Screen

When you finish a session, the results screen shows total hands played, GTO Score, best streak (with bonus points), assessment breakdown (Correct / OK / Mistake counts), and total EV loss.

Free-tier users have a daily training hand limit. The remaining count is shown on the Training hub.
Chapter 06

Targeted Training

For focused practice on specific spots. Set up filters and train only on scenarios that match your criteria.

Setting Up Filters

Tap Targeted Training from the Training hub to open the Game Lobby with the following filters:

Game Type Cash, MTT, and more
Stack Sizes Specific effective stack ranges
Table Sizes Number of players at the table
Positions Hero and villain seat positions
Actions Filter by specific preflop action sequences

After configuring your filters, tap Start Training to begin a session using only spots that match your criteria.

This is the best way to work on specific weaknesses. Check your Performance stats, identify where you struggle, and create targeted sessions to improve those exact areas.
Chapter 07

Hand History

Review all your past training sessions to track improvement and learn from your mistakes.

Session List

Navigate to Hand History from the hamburger menu. Each session card displays:

Date & Time When the session was played
Session Type Quickstart, Targeted, or Replay
GTO Score Shown as a colour-coded circle
Assessment Correct / OK / Mistake breakdown
Statistics Hands played and EV loss

Reviewing Hands

Drill Down

Tap any session to drill down into individual hands. Review each decision you made, see what the GTO-optimal play was, and understand where you went wrong.

Replay

Replay past games to re-train on spots you previously struggled with. Repetition on tough spots is one of the fastest ways to improve.

Make a habit of reviewing your Hand History after each session — understanding why a play is optimal is more valuable than just knowing the answer.
Chapter 08
