Zero cloud latency, works in airplane mode. - **Gambling Policy**: 18+ educational poker math trainer only. Zero real-money gambling, zero cash-outs, zero paid virtual chips. --- ## 1. Problem Solved by PokerExpert Most poker players do not lose money in 100bb heads-up GTO solver Equilibrium spots—they lose stacks in **multi-way live $1/$2, $1/$3, $2/$5, and weekly home games** featuring: 1. Loose **Calling Stations** who peel wide flops and fold only when missed draws brick, 2. **Maniacs & Tilted (`STEAMING`) players** firing 2x–3x overbets, 3. **4-Card PLO, 5-Card Big O, and Double-Board Bomb Pots** where top two pair or non-nut flushes get quartered or scooped, and 4. **200bb Button Straddle pots** where Stack-to-Pot Ratio (SPR) shifts one-pair hands from stack-off value into thin bluff-catchers. Traditional social poker apps (*WSOP*, *Zynga*) train bad habits with unrealistic play-money shoves and aggressive virtual-chip microtransactions, while cloud GTO solver suites cost **$69–$129/month**, require constant internet connectivity, and rarely let casual-to-serious live players actually *play full hands* against calibrated clones of their real-life friends. --- ## 2. Complete Variant & Table Matrix | Parameter | Supported Options in PokerExpert | | :--- | :--- | | **Hole Cards** | `2-Card No-Limit Hold'em (NLH)`, `4-Card Pot-Limit Omaha (PLO)`, `5-Card Big O / 5-Card PLO` (strictly enforces exact 2-from-hand + 3-from-board Omaha rule) | | **Community Boards** | `Single Board (1 Board)` or `Double Board (2 Simultaneous Boards — 50/50 split pot evaluation)` | | **Action Formats** | Standard Blinds, `200bb Button Straddles`, `Single-Board Bomb Pots`, `Double-Board Bomb Pots` (skip preflop straight to multi-way ante flop) | | **Table Sizes** | `2-Max (Heads-Up)` up to `9-Max / 10-Max Full Ring` (auto-caps seat count on 5-card double-board formats to preserve exact 52-card deck conservation) | | **Chip Conservation** | Strictly audited conservation invariant across main pots, multi-way side pots, odd-chip remainder distribution, and split-board quartering | --- ## 3. Adaptive Human-Like AI Opponent Engine Instead of evaluating postflop strength purely on static 5-card made-hand rank, PokerExpert runs `<0.2ms` analytical hand + board texture profiling (`evaluatePostflopHandProfile`): - **Made-Hand Nuance**: Distinguishes disguised pocket sets (`33` on `K-8-3`) from exposed board trips (`A-3` on `3-3-K`), nut flushes from vulnerable baby flushes, and clean PLO two-pair/sets from dead hand-trips (`AAAx`). - **Draw & Wrap Intelligence**: Computes exact flush draws (nut vs. non-nut), open-ended straight draws (OESD), combo draws, and **11-to-20 out PLO / Big O monster wraps** so opponents semi-bluff and call pot-odds-appropriate bets instead of folding strong draws. - **Street Narrative & Position Memory**: Tracks `preflop_aggressor_seat` (in-position continuation bets vs. out-of-position checking to the raiser, plus recreational Calling Station small "donk leads"), arms flop check-raise traps with disguised sets/nut flushes, and fires bare `A♠` nut-flush blocker bluffs on monotone/3-flush rivers. - **Dynamic Session Tilt (`COOL` / `HEATER` / `STEAMING`)**: After losing big pots or getting bluffed, volatile archetypes visibly shift into `STEAMING` mood—widening VPIP, raising bluff frequency, and loosening bluff-catching thresholds just like real live players. --- ## 4. Deterministic 1,200-Rollout Move Math & EV Grading Every Hero decision can be inspected pre-action or post-action via **Move Math**: - **Zero-Jitter Seeded Monte Carlo**: Uses FNV-1a hashing + `mulberry32` PRNG seeded on `(heroHand, board1, board2, pot, toCall)` across 1,200 full runouts (including 2-board scoop + half-pot split equity) so re-opening Move Math on the same spot produces `0.00%` random drift. - **Metrics Shown**: - Exact **Equity %** (Scoop % + Split % on Double Boards) - **Pot Odds %** required to continue - **Minimum Defense Frequency (`MDF = Pot / (Pot + Bet)`)** - Expected Value (`$EV`) of **Fold**, **Check/Call**, and **33% / 50% / 75% / 100% Pot Raises** - **Adverse-Selection Overbet Grading**: Evaluates custom bet sizes directly so `5x–10x` pot overbet punts with medium-strength 1-pair hands are accurately flagged as `-EV BLUNDER`s when opponents fold worse hands and call only with nutted holdings. --- ## 5.
