This looks really cool, but even as someone who has dabbled a bit in poker I have no idea what I am looking at.

Presumably, this is for people who are already advanced to get a little bit better? Otherwise, if you want to level up my poker game I would need a few lower rungs on the ladder.

This is sort of a modernized web-based PokerStove. It's useful when you are at the stage where you are deep analyzing past hands or perhaps deciding whether preflop shoves in tournaments were good.

But I think even as someone who has used PokerStove in the past, and has programmed some range evaluators, the UI is pretty intimidating for me.

It’s closer to a web version of pio solver.

Equity and range evaluators got a lot less useful because people figured how to make software that solves the full (simplified) game tree. This is a superior approach to anything other than all-in spots (which have game tree of one nodes.)

Most serious players these days primarily use software like pio and monker because the competition has gotten tougher and old equity calculators are like using a graphing calculator vs a

vs a what?

Would you pay $30/month to level up your game? Because for me this site is premised on the fact that the people willing to pay that already know the basic strat needed to digest this site.
higher stakes players already paying thousands of dollars for software simpler than this.
