Photo-real table scenes, not diagrams. You look, you read, you decide — under the clock, like in a live game.
Timed Drill
Eyeball a stack, call its value in seconds. Barrels, part-stacks, mixed denominations — the skill behind every effective-stack decision.

Photo Read
Posture, chip handling, eye contact. One quiet chip or a two-handed shove-and-stare? Strong, bluff, or draw — you make the call.

Scan the room, pick the seat that prints. Drinks and messy stacks — or eight regulars nursing coffee? Learn who to target and who to avoid.
Try ItEvery trainer hand casts opponents from real live-game archetypes — with profiles, tendencies, and the exact adjustment that empties their stack. These six live in the app. You've met them all.
Limp-Call Larry
The Station
How you beat him: value-bet thinner than feels polite. Never bluff the river. He'll pay off three streets with second pair.
Straddle Steve
The Action Man
How you beat him: stop 4-betting him off his fun. Flat your monsters, let him hang himself, snap his jams way wider than the chart says.
Nitty Nathan
The Rock
How you beat him: steal his blinds forever, and when he finally raises, believe him. Folding top pair to Nathan is a profit center.
Downtown Dana
The Studied Reg
How you beat her: she plays the textbook, so play the exceptions. Her folds are too honest — lean on her capped ranges and she'll let you.
Vacation Vinny
The Tourist
How you beat him: keep it friendly and keep it multiway. He came to gamble — your job is to be sitting there with the goods when he does.
Solver Kid Sam
The GTO Kid
How you beat him: he's balanced against a population that isn't here. Overfold his triple barrels, punish his fixed sizings, watch him tilt.
Every dealt hand profiles villains like these — and grades your read. Deal a hand against them →
Procedurally generated at live $1/2–$2/5 sizes — straddled pots included. Every answer key is re-derived independently by 1,555 automated checks, so the math is never wrong and never repeats.
The Trainer deals a real spot — cards, chips, positions, opponent profiles, and a tagged action history. Then it walks every lens that matters, applied to this exact hand:
You're sitting $1,000 deep. One villain has $900, the other $200. The $900 stack means you can still be felted for almost everything — a deep stack behind you is risk, not comfort.
PokerThangs computes the effective stack against every villain on every dealt hand, and teaches you when coverage should tighten your range — and when it should loosen it.
“He used to be the fun one at this table. Now he tanks for exactly one second and snap-folds my river jam. I want the old guy back.”
“Counted my whole stack from across the room before he even sat down. Then he picked the seat on my left. Predatory behavior, honestly.”
“I check-raised the turn. He looked at my drink, looked at my two little chips, said ‘nice hand’ and folded top pair. Who is teaching them this.”
“Every time I open, this person defends their straddle with hands my solver says are unplayable. Every time, they have it by the river. Unsubscribe.”
The regulars are fictional. The winrate they donate every Friday night is not.
