Optima Poker Trainer

Book has a very high and steep learning curve. If your not going to study. It is probably not worth downloading. The app has been updated a couple of times now. I’m still awaiting it going all the way to the ‘River’. You would have to be quite a seasoned and passionate poker player to get the most from this app. 29/03/2023. I just updated the app. Tournament play now implemented. You need to be a serious poker player for this to be an investment and not just an expense. I actually enjoy playing the free up to the turn.

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.

I’m 60 years old and I can’t see the cards. It can’t just be me. Maybe you get eyes will be able to use this app.

Teaches a poker player to always go with the best hand and the best chance of winning. There is a book with the full algorithm written out. The author and creator of the app was able to secure a patent on this algorithm. Once people find this gem they won’t look back. I recommend getting the book. Great for anyone trying to player pro!

I went and checked it out on an instructional video, yes, this does look like a great app!! I think I’ll get the version to play the flop. Lots of good information to study! Well done!

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.
