Roast My Range: Pre-Tournament Poker Spot Verifier

A pre-tournament drill that runs your own playing history through an equilibrium solver and shows which real-money spots you butchered, with a one-tap share for study groups.

Target user

Recreational online tournament players who want targeted study before a session

Features
  • Hand-history import from PokerStars, GG, and Winamax with automatic EV-loss estimation per decision
  • Drill mode that replays the worst spots from your last 1,000 hands with the solver's recommended action
  • Study-group leaderboards where a poker group can compare who loses the most EV on the same spot
  • Tournament-context filters (early/middle/late, ICM pressure, bubble) so drills match the stage you're about to play
Why now

The source project's free browser-based solver removes the cost barrier that has kept recreational players from personal training — but most players won't run a solver themselves, so a history-driven drill wrapper is the real consumer product.
