Get your hand reviewed in Poker Scientist

One of the best ways to learn poker is to study common spots that come up a lot, so you can make the best decisions automatically. 

With that in mind our friends at Poker Scientist are going to help you with one of the most common spots in poker - blind defence. We want you to submit hands where you defended the Blinds and the software's creator Samy89 is going to review the best submissions using Poker Scientist in an exclusive video. 

On top of that we are raffling a free month of Poker Scientist amongst all the people who submitted a hand. 

To get your hand reviewed: 

  • Post the Hand History in this forum
  • Explain why you were unsure about how to play the hand
  • Deadline is before Monday, August 24

Then soon after you can expect a video which includes the most interesting hand.

In case you missed it, check out our video on what Poker Scientist can do.

Poker Scientist helps you understand the principles of poker as efficiently as possible.

The browser-based software gives you instant access to a GTO gameplan, containing billions of strategies for every relevant heads-up scenario. The gameplan was developed with simplification in mind, with Clustering offering a whole new way of understanding and internalising new strategies.

Poker Scientist's gameplan is calculated using computers that are several orders of magnitude more powerful than any desktop PC. The highly accurate solutions use the optimal number of bet and raise sizings. Solutions with this accuracy are not achievable for the average solver user on their home PCs.

Through two simplifications in the form of Line Elimination and Runout Clustering, Poker Scientist managed to overcome one of the major problems other solver tools have when it comes to learning and developing your own game efficiently.

Altogether, Poker Scientist offers you a GTO game plan with an innovative approach that's going take your poker game to a whole new level.
