The toolkit

Everything you need to master optimal play

Exact-EV coaching

Every hand graded to the coin against true optimal play. No Monte Carlo, no approximations, the full draw is enumerated. The same engine reports each table's swing, not just its return, so you know what a session actually feels like.

11 game variants

Jacks or Better through Deuces Wild, the Bonus family, Joker Poker and All American, each with multiple real pay tables.

Deals that teach

Choose how hard the deals run, from casino-random up to brutal, so you meet the close, tricky spots far more often than luck would give you.

Hand analyzer

Punch in any five cards and see all 32 holds ranked by expected value, with the full final-hand probability breakdown.

Pay table lab

Enter the exact payouts on the machine in front of you, or point your camera at the glass and let it read what it can. Get the precise return and correct strategy for that table, plus what each pay line is worth and the jackpot it would take to clear 100%.

Leak tracking

Your biggest strategy leaks, grouped by type and ranked by total EV lost, so you know exactly what to fix next.

A rack to fill

Twenty tokens across six chip tiers, ivory up to gold, each one a question asked of your own record — hands played, streaks held, accuracy, the hands you finally land. One arrives the moment you earn it.

Your record follows you

Progress lives on your Counter.Software account rather than in one browser. Sign in on another machine and your hands, lifetime totals, custom pay tables and tokens are already there.

How it teaches you

Three steps to perfect play

1

Play a hand

Deal, choose your holds, and draw, on any variant and pay table, exactly like the machine on the floor.

2

See the exact verdict

Instant grading with plain-English reasoning: what the best hold was, why, and precisely how much your play cost.

3

See what it is costing you

Your mistakes are logged and ranked by the coins they cost, so you know which leak to fix first instead of guessing.

Know before you sit down

Full pay is rarely advertised. Spotting it is on you.

Two machines can sit side by side, look identical, and pay out completely differently. The only thing separating a full-pay game from a short-pay one is the pay table printed on the glass, and the floor almost never flags which is which. Reading it yourself is the most valuable skill in the room.

The trainer familiarizes you with real full-pay tables until you know them on sight, and its built-in pay-table analyzer computes the exact return and house edge of any machine you enter. Confirm a game is full pay before you ever put a dollar in.

The comp angle

Build real comp value, for pennies on the dollar

Casinos rate you on your total number of bets and how much each bet costs. Winning or losing has nothing to do with earning a free suite at your local casino. On a full-pay Jacks or Better game, perfect play can cost as little as 46¢ per $100 of bets, or coin-in.

Meanwhile the points, free play, meals, and room offers keep accruing on every dollar wagered. The richest club the trainer models pays about 0.15% of coin-in, so on full-pay Jacks or Better comps cover roughly a third of that theoretical cost. On a table that already returns over 100%, they are pure profit.

On 100%+ full-pay tables like Full-Pay Deuces Wild, flawless play is a long-run edge before a single comp is counted. The trainer is how you get there.

Under the right conditions, video poker turns profitable

Full-pay tables, promotions, and cashback can push a game past a 100% return. The Analyzer gives you the perfect play for any hand you type in. The Pay Table Lab computes any table's exact return, shows what each pay line is worth, and solves the jackpot a progressive needs to clear 100%. On 9/6 Jacks or Better, that is a 4,880-coin royal.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Can I train the exact machine I'm looking at?

Yes. Enter its pay table in the lab or analyzer — or photograph the glass and let the reader fill in the lines it recognises, leaving the rest to you — and the trainer solves that exact table: all 2,598,960 deals, or 2,869,685 in a joker game, no approximations, for its true return and the correct play in every spot. A full solve takes a second or two; grading a hand after that is immediate.

Is this gambling?

No. It's a trainer, no real money, no wagering, nothing to deposit. It helps you recognize and understand situations to make the correct decision each time without hesitation.

How is expected value calculated?

By exact enumeration of every possible draw for all 32 holds, never simulation. Returns are verified against published full-pay figures.

Does perfect play guarantee I'll win?

No. Optimal play minimizes the house edge; short-term results still vary widely. The more hands you play, the more that wild short-term variance averages out toward the game's true expected return, so volume is what turns a mathematical edge into a real one. A few full-pay tables exceed 100% long-run with flawless play, most do not.
