What Makes Optima Poker Trainer Stand Out
Optima Poker Trainer is a FREE mobile app plus integrated book that combines "Game Theory Optimal" (GTO) poker strategy & "Exploitative" poker strategy using a proprietary 12-step algorithm. This revolutionary process can determine and explain the most optimal decisions from ANY possible hand of poker, and against ANY unique opponent. All while enjoying the rush of PLAYING REAL POKER! For a more complete and interactive learning experience, you can download the integrated E-book titled "Optima Poker Trainer" via Amazon.com. Paperback book orders and more info are also available at www.optimapokertrainer.com.
Optima Poker Trainer allows users to play REAL multiplayer No-Limit Hold’em poker with TRILLIONS of possible hands to learn from! Not just limited predetermined scenarios like all those other poker training apps that charge hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Optima Poker Trainer includes the following customizable features, with corresponding adjustments to the decision-making algorithm:
- Number of Opponents: Choose from 1 to 9 Opponents
- Opponent Types: Choose from Loose, Very Loose, Tight, Very Tight, GTO, GTOX, or Unknown Opponent Types
- Starting Chip Stack Sizes: Choose from Short (25 Big Blinds), Medium (50 Big Blinds), or Deep (100 Big Blinds) Stack Sizes
- Additional features including Rakes, Antes, Omaha, Short Deck, Tournament Bubbles, and Limit Hold’em are all coming soon. As well as various additional updates and GTO adjustments. So please keep your mobile app updated.
The 100% FREE playing mode of the app is "Pre & Flop Only," meaning you can play all hands only until the end of the Flop round of betting. In Tournament Mode (now available as an in-app purchase), you can play a complete 1 table “Sit & Go” poker tournament against 9 opponents with various playing styles. Starting chip stack sizes are 100 Big Blinds each, with the blinds doubling every 10 hands. If you lose all your chips, you can continue watching the tournament with all cards turned face up until there is a winner. Download now to enjoy playing with NO IN-APP PURCHASES REQUIRED, NO ADVERTISEMENTS, AND NO USER DATA COLLECTED!

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Im 60 years old and we cant see the cards. It cant just be us. Maybe you get eyes will be able to use this app.
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. We are sorry if our 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.
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 wont look back. We recommend getting the book. Great for anyone trying to player pro.
We went and checked it out on an instructional video, yes, this does look like a great app!! We think Ill get the version to play the flop. Lots of good information to study! Well done.
This is by far the most comprehensive yet simple app Ive found for learning how to play poker like a pro.
