Solvers are the best way to get better at poker, and almost nobody uses one. They cost too much, they take an afternoon to learn, and they live on a desktop you are not sitting at when the hand is bothering you. Pokerbase AI is a coach you talk to instead. Describe the spot, send a screenshot of the hand, or say it out loud if typing it is too slow. You get an answer in normal English, whether the question is why your turn bet was bad or what GTO actually means, and you can keep asking until it makes sense. When the answer needs backing up, the app runs a real solve. Hand review takes you through the hand street by street against solver output and explains where you drifted from it and why that matters, which is a lot more useful than being told a percentage. If you want to build the spot yourself, the full solver is in there, node locking and all. The preflop trainer deals live spots for cash or tournaments at any table size and stack depth, so you can work on the part you keep getting wrong rather than whatever comes up. Your stats fill in as you go, including a grid that shows you hand by hand where your ranges are off. Daily drills and quizzes show up at whatever time you actually study. Available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Russian, and Chinese, with your coach replying in your language. Your first 7 days are free. Pokerbase Pro unlocks the full coach, hand review, solver, preflop trainer, equity calculator, and stats for $19.99 per month or $119.99 per year. Cancel anytime in your device settings.
