VP Academy is the training app for video poker players who want to play with confidence. Whether you're learning the basics or sharpening your edge, VP Academy teaches you the math behind every decision.
TRAINING LESSONS
Work through 16 structured lessons covering Jacks or Better strategy from the ground up. Each lesson explains the key concept, highlights common mistakes, and ends with a quiz on real hands. Topics range from dealt hands that pay to straight draws, flush penalties, and advanced high card decisions.
PLAY MODE
Practice full video poker hands on a realistic Jacks or Better 9/6 machine. After every hand, VP Academy shows whether your hold was optimal and ranks every possible hold by expected value. See exactly how much each mistake costs — and why the correct play is correct.
HAND ANALYZER
Enter any 5-card hand and instantly see the mathematically optimal hold with a full EV breakdown. Compare every possible hold combination ranked by expected value. Use it to settle debates, study tricky hands, or verify your instincts.
QUIZ MODE
