Questions, answered straight

Three tools on one account, covering two games. A solver library: full MonkerSolver solutions for 4-card PLO (6-max and heads-up) and 6-max NLHE, preflop through river, browsable with no solve queue. A practice mode that drills you on those solutions and grades your answers. And Hand Tracker, a hand-history tracker that imports your real hands, tracks your results, and checks your preflop game against the same solves.

There are also five free calculators (hand equity across eight games including hi-lo and bomb-pot modes, range equity, hand distributions, variance, and a PQL query engine) and free study references. None of those need an account.

Both, on one plan. The NLHE library is eight 6-max cash solves from 20bb to 200bb, all 1,755 flops with every runout, a 13x13 hand matrix, and the same practice mode. Its free tier works like PLO's: every preflop range plus three solved boards a day, no account needed to look.

Both games live in one solver app: a Game toggle sits next to the stack picker, and ?game=nlhe deep-links straight in. There is no separate NLHE plan.

The strategies are built from MonkerSolver simulation output. We decode Monker's own binary files using its exact hand-indexing format, so the frequencies you see are the frequencies the solver computed, stored at half-percent resolution. Nothing is interpolated between boards, rebuilt from equity buckets, or smoothed by hand.

What we can promise, and stand behind, is fidelity: nothing between the solver's output file and your screen changes a frequency beyond the half-percent storage resolution. No interpolation, no re-derivation, no hand-smoothing. The trees use standard pot-fraction sizings; the re-solved 100bb 6-max PLO tree, for example, offers 33% or pot bets and 40% or pot raises on every street. The library covers all 1,755 strategically distinct flops with every turn and river card navigable, across all seventeen solves (nine PLO, eight NLHE).

If you spot a node that looks wrong, tell us. That report is worth more to us than a testimonial.

The calculators (equity, range equity, hand distributions, PQL) run their math locally, but each completed run logs an anonymous usage ping that includes what you entered - the cards, ranges, or query text - so we can see how the tools get used. The variance calculator's ping carries the headline inputs (win rate, standard deviation, volume); your bankroll number stays on the page. Share links are separate: state is stored on our servers only when you click Copy share link.

The solver is a library, so browsing it fetches strategy data from our servers by nature. Signed-out training is tracked under an anonymous id in your browser and merges into your account if you sign up.

Yes. 21 themes (15 dark, 6 light) plus a separate action-color choice with a colorblind-safe palette, picked on your account page under Appearance. One choice covers the site and the solver together, and the solver adds 12 card-face styles in its own Settings. PNG exports from the calculators follow whatever theme you are on.

Players already grinding 4-card PLO or 6-max NLHE cash, live or online. If you can read a range chart and know why a ten-high flush draw plays differently from the nut one, you're the audience.

If you mostly play PLO5 or PLO6, the tracker and the calculators cover your games, but the solve library doesn't yet. And if you're brand new to either game, start with the free references and the free preflop ranges before paying anyone for anything, including us.

Every preflop range for every position across all seventeen solves, both games, plus the preflop trainer. Three solved postflop boards a day: we pick them, they rotate daily, everyone gets the same three, and the same three apply in both games - a decent daily study prompt. Each daily board comes with a set of turn and river runouts, five per street to start; keep a practice streak on a free account and it grows to twelve.

Practice mode works on those boards. It grades up to 50 hands a day (15 without an account); the meter resets at midnight Chicago time and never blocks studying. No credit card, no expiration, and none of it requires an account except the streak growth, since a streak has to live somewhere.

Board entry. You type in any flop, all 1,755 are there, with every turn and river runout unlocked and unlimited practice across the whole library. The flops explorer's aggregate table (and the notebook's agg references) opens up the same way: free accounts read it for the day's three boards, Core reads all 1,755. Core also raises the hand history caps to 5,000,000 hands and 50 GB. It's $60/month, or $49/month billed annually.

Two cash games. 4-card PLO: 6-max at 12, 20, 30, 40, 50, 100, 150, and 200 big blinds, and heads-up at 100. Preflop covers first-in through 6-bet plus the vs-limp lines; postflop covers all 15 two-player seat pairings at each 6-max depth, in single-raised, 3-bet, 4-bet-plus, and limped pots where the tree carries them. NLHE: eight 6-max solves from 20bb to 200bb, all 1,755 flops, per-action preflop EV.

No PLO5 or PLO6 in the solve library yet (the calculators and tracker do handle them), no multiway postflop solves, no heads-up NLHE, and no tournament/ICM configurations. Cash is the focus.

The solve library is cash only: fixed depths, no ICM. Hand Tracker does parse tournaments and reports ROI and ITM, read straight from what your files record. If solved ICM spots are what you need, we don't have them.

No. SolvePoker is a library you read, not a solver you run. Fixed trees, fixed sizings, no nodelocking, no uploads of external solver output. That trade is the whole product: you give up custom parameters and get the entire board set already answered.

If you need custom trees, exotic sizings, or nodelocking, you should. Running your own sims gives you total control; the cost is the license, the hardware, and the waiting. And most of that compute produces the same standard spots for everyone who runs it.

That work only needs doing once, and the library holds the answers. You lose custom parameters, you gain the whole board set. Players doing genuine research run their own sims; players studying their game generally don't need to.

Not a public one. If you have a real use case, email [email protected] and make it. There is also the Solver Notebook inside the tool (press Shift+C, or open solvepoker.app/solver/notebook) that can query solves, ranges, categories, and blockers, run SQL and PQL over the results, and export tables to CSV, which covers most power-user needs we've heard so far.

The hand history tracker reads nine site formats: PokerStars (including Zoom and Home Games), GGPoker (including Rush & Cash, and its zipped exports work as-is), 888poker, partypoker, Winamax, the iPoker network's XML format, Bovada with its Ignition-family skins, Full Tilt, and the WPN family. Run It Once hands parse through the PokerStars grammar.

Games: hold'em (no-limit and limit), PLO4 through PLO6 and their hi/lo versions, 4-card Omaha hi/lo (O8), Omaha high at any bet structure, and Short Deck. Cash and tournaments. Stud, razz and the draw games are skipped hand by hand with a reason rather than erroring your import. If your site is missing, send us a sample file.

Not sure where your client writes those files? Here is the folder, per site.

Yes, with a cap rather than crippled features. A free account processes up to 100,000 hands with 2 GB of storage, and everything is included: stats with confidence intervals, all-in EV, leak reports, opponent profiles, the replayer, the spots browser, and CSV exports. Core raises the caps to 5,000,000 hands and 50 GB. The account requirement exists because your hands have to be stored somewhere.

Two tiers, both strict. The leak report's preflop verdicts compare your decisions to the MonkerSolver solves in our own library, matched to your table size and stack depth: PLO4 against nine solves (eight 6-max depths plus heads-up), NLHE against eight 6-max solves from 20 to 200bb. Both grade raise-first-in width by seat, opens the solver plays 10% of the time or less, folds of hands it opens at least 90% of the time, 3-bet frequency against the per-matchup targets weighted by the openers you actually faced, and blind defense against opens. PLO also grades how you continue your own opens facing a 3-bet. The river verdicts are exact pot math: bluff ratio against the indifference frequency, buffered both ways and split by river texture. Folding against the MDF set by the bet size you faced is shown with the exact price as an observation, never a verdict - defending below MDF is correct on some rivers. One node can deviate correctly; a sustained one-sided pattern across your sample is what gets flagged.

Nothing is flagged until a one-sided Wilson bound proves the gap at your sample size. Where we don't have the matching solve (PLO5, PLO6, heads-up NLHE, 3-to-5-handed tables, off-ladder depths, tournaments), you still get the exact-math river checks, and everything softer is labeled an observation, not a verdict. Hi/lo, Short Deck and fixed-limit hands get no leak report either way, because split pots, inverted rankings and forced sizings all break the math the verdicts rest on. No population averages pretending to be truth.

No, and there won't be one soon. SolvePoker is a study tool and a post-session tracker; nothing attaches to your table while you play. If a live overlay is essential to your game, a desktop tracker is the right purchase. Ours will still read the same hand history files afterward for the leak reports.

Close, and where they differ, it's documented. A handful of our stat definitions deliberately deviate from the common desktop-tracker formulas (for example, 3-bet excludes limp-reraises, and walks are excluded from VPIP and PFR). Every definition, including each deviation, is written out in plain English in the stats glossary. Your numbers may shift a few tenths from what you're used to; the glossary says exactly why.
