Grindly is a training app for mastering tournament poker (MTT) strategy through daily practice. Drill your preflop decisions — opens, 3-bet responses, shoves and calls, and more — and everything that comes after the flop, against solutions worked out by a solver. WHO IT'S FOR - Players who want to study MTT preflop seriously - Anyone who loses confidence once the flop comes down - Anyone unsure about ICM spots (bubble, final table) - Grinders who improve best with short daily reps FEATURES - Lesson roadmap: preflop and postflop each get a single path to follow. Preflop runs from chipEV fundamentals to ICM — bubble, final table, heads-up. Mastery is tracked per lesson, so you always see your weak spots and what to study next - Realistic training: tournament spots recreated on a poker table. Make your call, check it against the solver, and review the full range chart - Postflop: play a hand all the way through, flop to river. The preflop action replays at the table first, and when the hand ends your opponent's cards are revealed — a look you never get at the table. Bet sizes switch between big blinds and pot percentage - Custom drills: combine scenario (RFI, vs open, vs 3-bet, vs squeeze and more) × position × stack depth × ICM phase to grind exactly your leaks - Range viewer: browse every solver range in the app, following the action to any position - Progress: streaks, weekly activity and solver-accuracy stats to keep you honest. Save interesting spots to revisit anytime - Practice reminders: a daily nudge at the time you choose FREE PLAN - All preflop chipEV lessons (up to 30 hands per day) - Postflop from the first lesson (up to 10 hands per day) - The first ICM lessons as a free preview GRINDLY PRO (subscription) - Unlimited hands - All ICM and postflop lessons unlocked - No ads Monthly and yearly plans are available.
