Everything we have published, filed by year

Why there are 1,326 starting combos but only 169 hands, where 4 suited and 12 offsuit come from, and the notation players use: AKs, AKo, AhKs, QQ+.

A customer said Practice deals easy hands. He was right. Here is the selector we built, the weighting behind Easy, Balanced and Hard, and what it does on four real spots.

One preflop spot solved on 184 flops at once: the table, the tree walk, filters, lenses, Simplify, turn runouts and report diffs.

Every player can tell you their worst hand of the year. Nobody can tell you what it cost them – an actual number. That is why Practice exists: you play the whole hand against solver strategy, and it tells you the price of every decision.

How to run a study routine you will actually keep: mark hands while you play, read the session where the EV went, let the scheduler bring back the spots you keep failing, and set a stopping rule before you sit. With what a blunder measurably costs.

Stack-to-pot ratio explained with worked examples from four solved flop reports, and what small, medium, large and overbet sizes actually buy. The same 25 flops solved at 18bb and at 97.5bb behind, with the break-even maths for every size.

How to read a flop: high card, pairing, connectedness and suits. What range advantage and nut advantage actually mean, counted combo by combo from the preflop charts, and how the solver’s flop strategy changes from board to board.

How to Maximize Your Vegas Poker Schedule If you have ever tried to plan a Vegas summer from a stack of venue PDFs, you know the pain. WSOP drops a 100-page structure sheet. Wynn posts a flyer. The Orleans buries late reg in a spreadsheet. You end up with twelve browser tabs and still miss […]

What a poker range is, how the 13×13 grid works, and the first chart every player needs: raise first in by position. Solver ranges for 6-max cash and 9-handed tournaments, with what stack depth and the ante do to them.

How a hand of No-Limit Texas Hold’em works, from the blinds to showdown: the four betting rounds, every action you can take, the seat names EP to BB, and why acting last is worth so much.

Hey! 🙂 A few years ago, after two months of sitting at my desk for fifteen-plus hours a day, I shipped the first version of Preflop Academy. I remember that post – I wrote that I’d managed to combine my two biggest passions: poker and programming. That nobody had built anything like this at this level. And that the app would keep evolving.

Breakeven = risk ÷ (risk + reward). How often a bluff, a call, a bluff-raise and a call against a raise have to work, why a raise costs more than a bet, and where the app shows the same price: POT ODDS on the table and EV on every action.

The big blind ante is always 1bb, whatever the table size, and a classic ante is 0.125bb a head. What that extra dead money does to preflop ranges, measured on two solver runs of the same 9-handed table that differ only in the ante, plus the short-stack and big-stack spots from the big blind ante final tables.
