How to Use the Poker Trainer

Welcome to PokerTrainer, a free online Texas Hold'em training tool designed to help you improve your poker skills. Whether you are a complete beginner or an intermediate player looking to sharpen your strategy, this trainer provides real-time feedback on every decision you make.

Getting Started

Click the "Deal New Hand" button to begin. You will be dealt two hole cards face-up, while your AI opponents receive their cards face-down. The game follows standard Texas Hold'em rules with pre-flop, flop, turn, and river betting rounds. Use the action buttons to fold, check, call, raise, or go all-in during your turn.

Understanding the Odds Display

The key feature of this trainer is the real-time odds display. After each new card is revealed, you will see your current win probability calculated using Monte Carlo simulation. The trainer runs hundreds of random scenarios to estimate how likely you are to win the hand. This information helps you make mathematically informed decisions rather than relying on guesswork.

Win Probability

Shows the percentage chance you will win the current hand against all active opponents. Updates on every street (pre-flop, flop, turn, river) as new community cards are revealed.

Outs

The number of remaining cards in the deck that can improve your hand to a likely winner. More outs means more chances to improve on the next card.

Pot Odds

The ratio of the current pot size to the cost of calling a bet. When your win probability exceeds the pot odds percentage, calling is a positive expected value (+EV) play.

EV Indicator

Shows whether calling the current bet is mathematically profitable (+EV) or unprofitable (-EV) based on comparing your win probability against the pot odds.

Texas Hold'em Hand Rankings

Poker hands are ranked from highest to lowest as follows. In Texas Hold'em, you make the best five-card hand from your two hole cards and the five community cards.

Royal Flush -- A, K, Q, J, 10 all of the same suit. The best possible hand in poker.

Straight Flush -- Five consecutive cards of the same suit (e.g., 5-6-7-8-9 of hearts).

Four of a Kind -- Four cards of the same rank (e.g., four Kings).

Full House -- Three of a kind plus a pair (e.g., three Jacks and two 8s).

Flush -- Five cards of the same suit, not in sequence.

Straight -- Five consecutive cards of mixed suits (e.g., 4-5-6-7-8).

Three of a Kind -- Three cards of the same rank.

Two Pair -- Two different pairs (e.g., two Aces and two 8s).

One Pair -- Two cards of the same rank.

High Card -- When no other hand is made, the highest card plays.

Basic Strategy Tips

Here are some fundamental strategies to keep in mind while practicing:

Starting hand selection is critical. Do not play every hand. Strong starting hands include high pairs (AA, KK, QQ), high suited connectors (AKs, AQs), and high suited aces.

Position matters. Acting later in the betting round gives you more information about your opponents' actions, which is a significant advantage.

Pot odds guide decisions. If the pot offers better odds than your chance of completing a draw, it is mathematically correct to call. The trainer shows this calculation for you.

Avoid chasing draws when the pot does not offer sufficient odds. This is one of the most common mistakes beginners make.

Pay attention to bet sizing. Your raises should be proportional to the pot to maximize value or protect your hand effectively.
