Record every poker hand free, whether or not you use AI analysis. Every HandIQ analysis starts with a recorded hand, making the free recorder both a useful standalone tool and the first step toward deeper review. Capture the game setup, cards, positions, stacks, player types, tendencies, and street-by-street action. Build a searchable hand library you can revisit after every session. When you want deeper feedback, HandIQ analyzes the player—not just the cards. It uses the available opponent profile and tendencies to identify the mistakes that type of player is likely to make and recommend an exploitative adjustment. When the player is unknown, HandIQ treats the read as uncertain rather than pretending the advice is player-specific. Same cards. Different opponent. Different answer. Start free: • Record and save poker hands without a subscription • Analyze up to 3 recorded hands every UTC day • Ask up to 3 follow-up questions for each free analyzed hand • Invite new users and earn bonus analysis credits after qualifying activity Features: • Free cash game and tournament hand recording • Player type and tendency capture • Saved hand history with search, filters, and tags • Exploit-first, street-by-street analysis • Follow-up chat tied to the original hand • Correction feedback and re-analysis • English and Simplified Chinese app and analysis language • Apple, Google, and email account sign-in • Export and import backup support • Referral-code sharing and promotional analysis credits Each account can claim one referral code at any time to receive up to 10 promotional analysis credits. Inviters receive up to 10 analyses after the friend's first successful analysis. Referral rewards are capped at 50 analyses per UTC month and 150 total analyses per account. Referral credits have no cash value. HandIQ is a study aid, not a gambling service. It does not offer wagering, real-money play, or gameplay simulation. AI-generated poker analysis can be incomplete or wrong, so players should verify actions, stack sizes, and strategic advice before relying on it.
