Hey everyone,
I've been working on an iOS app called Video Poker Academy and would love to get some feedback from this community — you all know video poker better than anyone.
The app is a strategy trainer that helps you practice optimal play across multiple game Game variants, paytables, and rule sets. It shows you the mathematically correct hold for every hand, ranks all the options by expected value, and tracks your accuracy over time so you can see where you're improving and where you're making costly mistakes.
A few highlights:
- Real strategy data — not simplified rules, but full EV-based optimal strategy for each pay table
- Instant feedback — tells you right away if your hold was correct and shows you the EV cost of any mistakes
- Study hall -- Learn optimal strategy through a series of curated lessons on a particular game/paytable.
- Simulation mode — run hundreds or thousands of hands at high speed to see how a game performs over the long run, great for understanding variance and expected returns on different pay tables
The app is completely free right now.
You can download it here by searching Video Poker Academy in the Apple App store. (Android coming soon)
I'd really appreciate any feedback — what's working well, what's missing, what would make this more useful for your practice sessions. Thanks in advance!
