Optima Poker Trainer

This app may help someone to move up from being totally ignorant of poker to being a “face-up”, easily exploitable player who will be eaten alive by any competent player. As the top review testifies, it helps you learn how to put in most money with your best cards. Problem is that GTO poker (that the app claims it will teach or simulate) is anything but that: it relays on polarized ranges: betting a carefully balanced ratio of the strongest and weakest cards of your playable range to make your moves unreadable and unexploitable. The app is an intriguing concept and its interface is reasonably well executed (though it could be made more easily readable and could also communicate its suggestions better), but its poker strategy would barely keep one alive even amongst amateur players. I am sorry if my review ruins the frenzy the regulars and pros would have when the Optima-trained novices show up in the card rooms armed with false confidence. Thinking of it, that may be the only logical purpose of getting this app out there.

Very cool poker training app

This is by far the most comprehensive yet simple app I’ve found for learning how to play poker like a pro.
