Item — HN Reader

Hi,

We created this site after trying to learn the theory found in most Poker Math books. Rote memorization of equations didn't cut it -- so we created this interactive site instead, thinking it might be useful to others.

Let us know your thoughts!

Thanks

P.S. The site's name is PokerGym -- the HN spam-killing bot didn't seem to like stories with "Poker" in the title.

P.P.S. We use poker-eval (through its Python bindings) to dynamically generate training questions. Here's a nice intro to it on Coding the Wheel:

Congrats. It looks great.

Some feedback here after doing the first demo.

I expected that every lesson would contain a practical example. In the demo, it's good to know that you have 9 outs, but the real objective is knowing that you shouldn't call a bet unless the pot odds are above certain value. Otherwise, this lesson alone doesn't quite teach much.

Also, even if you didn't prepare more lessons (I guess you'll wait to see if it picks up traction), I'd have liked to see some more lessons, even if marked with a "coming soon" sign.

Thanks for the feedback. The demo linked from the home page is much more a demo of the site's "abilities" than a full course.

Once you finished the demo, did you try going through a "Learning module"? (tip: you don't really have to register... simply click the PokerGym logo in the upper-left corner). There are two courses which are fully available -- Counting Outs and Combos.

If you're signed in, you should see them on this page:
