Squid Theory - Poker Trainer

Squid Theory is a squid poker trainer: a study app for SQUID, the game where winning a pot also wins a squid. It teaches squid poker strategy next to standard No-Limit Hold'em, so you can see exactly where the right play changes, and by how much. In SQUID, winning a pot earns a squid, and players without one pay a penalty at the end. The stand-up game, also called Squid Classic, is the one the drills are built around, and a multiplier game is included too. That makes winning a pot worth more than the chips alone. Squid Theory treats the squid as an invisible ante paid to the pot winner, and shows the Standard answer and the SQUID answer side by side, with the difference highlighted and explained. SEE THE TABLE, NOT JUST THE NUMBERS Every drill spot is shown as a poker table: your seat at the bottom, your cards under it, who raised and how much, who has folded, the pot, and the flop in the middle. The squid each seat holds is drawn on the seat. Your Squid EV and the number of players with no squid (Z) sit beside your cards. WHAT YOU GET - Spot Drill: rounds of spots with an answer in one tap. Blind defense, calling or 3-betting in position, multiway pots with a squeeze option, spots after a limp, open, limp or fold, drawing hands and bet-sizing spots, at stack depths from 100 to 1000 big blinds, on 6, 8 or 9 seat tables. Wrong answers come back for review. - Squid EV trainer: who gains most from the next squid, how much it is worth, and whether to call when the squid counts as dead money. Answers are worked out exactly, not guessed. - Push/fold drills: short-stack shove and call spots solved by the app, with and without the squid. - Check a hand: type in a hand you played, from any seat, facing an open, an open and a call, a limp, or folded to you, and see what the app's models say about it. - Squid Lab: award squids seat by seat and watch every seat's squid value change. Your table is saved, with Undo and a split-pot option. Classic, a multiplier game and more, all adjustable. - Charts: push/fold and blind-defense grids. Tap a hand for the numbers, and see which hands flip when a squid is at stake. - Pot odds: standard and squid-adjusted break-even equity, in plain words. - Hand Replay: paste a hand, step through it, and see which of your decisions SQUID changes. - Progress: accuracy by concept, where you miss most, a streak and a spaced review queue. - A full user guide, in the app and on the web. FREE, WITH ONE UNLOCK Blind-defense drills, drawing spots, the Squid Lab, Compare, Pot odds, Coach Lite, Progress, Hand Replay and the main charts are free. A one-time purchase (no subscription, no account) unlocks the other spot types, long rounds, deeper stacks, the Push/fold and Squid EV drills and the chart controls. HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT KNOWS Every answer carries a badge. Computed means the app worked it out under a stated model, with its assumptions shown. Directional means a teaching heuristic. Verified is reserved for answers backed by named source data, and nothing in the app is Verified yet. The models are simple on purpose and are not solver output. Use them to see how much and which way the squid moves a decision. STUDY ONLY Squid Theory is for squid poker players who want to study. It has no real-money play, wagering or prizes.
