More than the right answer. A way to remember it.
Learn the right hold
Get every hold graded against the best expected return for your pay table, with explanations that help you understand the choice.
Practice the close calls
Focus on difficult hands where the best holds are close in value, or choose Easy or Moderate. Every hand still gets exact feedback; focused sessions use no credits and leave your stats unchanged. Choose your difficulty right on the Practice board.
Learn from mistakes
Missed hands return in a spaced-repetition review queue. Revisit the decisions you struggle with until the right hold becomes familiar.
Analyze any hand
Pick five cards or load a recent hand. See the best hold, its exact expected value (EV), and why it wins, then save it for review.
Quick to play
Tap several cards at once, or swipe across the cards to hold a run. On a computer, iPad, or Mac, play from the keyboard, with every card and deal key rebindable in Settings.
Take the Weekly EV Challenge
Play a two-minute run from a shared weekly set of hands. Score on expected value, review your mistakes, and try again to beat your best.
