About

Gameplan

Features
Read full description

If you only bet strong hands, opponents fold whenever you bet. If you only bluff, you become an easy target. Game Theory Optimal (GTO) poker solves this by mixing value bets and bluffs at exact ratios. Check sometimes with strong hands. Bet sometimes with weak ones. Gameplan helps you learn GTO poker intuitively by playing against a solver. Begin against exploitable opponents: early levels teach you to recognize and punish easy mistakes. As you progress, you learn to optimize your strategy as opponents increasingly adopt near-perfect, randomized play.
