LiveSolver is the fastest way to record poker hands during live sessions and export them for analysis. If you play live poker, you know the problem: online players have automatic hand histories that let them review every decision with solvers. Live players have nothing. You leave the table with a few hands scribbled on your phone — if you remembered to write them down at all. LiveSolver fixes that. RECORD HANDS IN SECONDS Designed for speed at the table. Tap through preflop, flop, turn, and river actions without slowing down the game. The visual table layout shows positions, stacks, and the current pot at a glance. Pick hole cards, board cards, and actions with minimal taps. Hands auto-save as drafts so you never lose progress. ACCURATE HAND HISTORIES LiveSolver generates PokerStars-format hand histories — the standard format accepted by analysis tools. Every detail is captured: positions, stack sizes, bet sizing, pot size, rake, and results. No more guessing what happened three hands ago. EXPORT FOR ANALYSIS Send your recorded hands directly to your computer with the LiveSolver Connector. Hand history files land in your chosen folder, ready to import into your favorite analysis tool. Auto-export means your hands are waiting for you when you get home. SESSION TRACKING Organize hands by session with stakes, table size, and rake settings. Track your stack across hands automatically. See how many hands you've logged and exported at a glance. BUILT FOR THE TABLE - Dark theme designed for low-light card rooms - Quick-entry interface that doesn't distract from the game - Works offline — all data stored locally on your device - Pull-to-refresh hand lists - Edit or re-export any hand FEATURES - 6-max and 9-max cash game support - Full action tracking: fold, check, call, bet, raise, all-in - Automatic position calculation from dealer button - Board card entry with duplicate prevention - Showdown card recording with automatic hand evaluation - Winner determination and pot distribution - Rake percentage and cap configuration per session - Draft auto-save and restore - PokerStars-format hand history generation - Desktop connector for automatic file export - Cloud sync via secure pairing code LIVESOLVER PRO Upgrade to Pro to unlock auto-export, the desktop connector, and more features designed for serious players who want to study every session.
