Easy to pickup on

Other than a monthly game of hold em with my friends, I hardly play poker. This is a great way to learn the hands. It’s very straightforward to get started, and the points system helps you track your progress as you learn. After just a few sessions I’ve picked up a lot.

Great App!

I’ve never played poker before and a friend introduced me to this app to try so I might play with them in the future. It really helped me as a new player to Texas hold’em and am excited to learn more and possibly beat my friends. :)

Questions players ask before choosing an app

Which app should I use to learn or practice poker?

Choose Poker Skill if you are learning Texas Hold'em from the start or tightening a game you already play, and you want a few minutes of practice a day on your phone with an explanation after each answer. Players who already know the fundamentals and want to study solved spots are better served by GTO Wizard. The poker training app comparison sets Poker Skill beside GTO Wizard, Postflop+ and PokerTrainer.

Should I use a poker trainer or a solver?

Start with a trainer, and move to a solver once you can name the exact spot you want to study and have hours a week to spend on it. A solver returns frequencies and expected values for a spot you set up. Poker Skill is a trainer: it deals you the decision and corrects your answer.

How can I practice poker without money?

Poker Skill deals practice hands where nothing you win or lose has any cash value. Each one is a real decision, and after you act it shows why the best play beat the others.

What does Poker Skill cost?

Poker Skill is free. Forever. The one thing sold in the app is Poker Skill Plus, an optional subscription. Its monthly and yearly prices are on the pricing page.
