A poker course that makes you decide, not read.
Most poker apps are either a casino or a textbook. PokerPath is a trainer: short lessons, then hundreds of fold-or-raise decisions, each answered with the reason — and the ones you miss come back tomorrow.

Three real questions from the app
Same questions, same explanations. Answer one and you’ll see the core loop: decide, get the reason, move on. Miss one, and in the app it comes back in tomorrow’s review.
Opening Range
Folded to you in middle position. What’s your move?
Ace-nine offsuit is too weak to open from middle position: it is often dominated by better aces and has no suited kicker. Fold, and open it later from the cutoff or button.

Pot Odds
- Pot
- 200
- To call
- 50
The pot is 200 and you have to call 50. What are your pot odds?
Risk: you call 50. Reward: a pot of 200. 200 ÷ 50 = 4 — you risk one chip to win four, a generous 4:1 price that only needs a modest chance of winning.

Best Hand
Who has the best hand?
Player B’s pocket threes join the two threes on the board: four of a kind. That beats player A’s full house, eights full of kings.

That was three of 145.
In the app, the questions you got wrong are scheduled for review with SM-2 — first tomorrow, then further apart as you get them right.
Every answer teaches, every mistake returns
The market analysis before the first line of code showed the gap: competitors either quiz without explaining or explain without making you choose. PokerPath does both, every time, and remembers what you got wrong.
Then play whole hands against bots
Drills train one decision. The practice table puts them together: 2 to 6 players, a moving button, side pots, and Sit & Go tournaments with rising blinds. It runs on a betting engine I wrote and fuzz-test with random stacks and every legal action.
Play-money only. The app is rated for simulated gambling, and the store screenshots say “No real-money gambling” on purpose.
145 questions, and none trusted blindly
Wrong poker advice is worse than none. AI made the content fast; code makes sure it’s right.
Small details that keep people in
Honest gaps
- Small numbers: a few dozen new users a week, so conversion is still noisy.
- Android only for now; the iOS port is in its release phase.
- The AI coach paywall copy exists, the coach itself doesn’t yet.
- The table’s short-stack chart is an approximation, not a solved one.
Learning apps that earn their price
A paid subscriber after about 20 downloads came from the product, not from ads: explain every answer, bring mistakes back, gate fairly. I build education and subscription apps the same way.
Play a few hands, then let’s talk.
