SmartHold Video Poker Trainer
Perfect Hold Coach & Simulator
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad
No ads, just exact strategy for twelve video poker games. Every miss is explained, then drilled until it sticks. Free credits every day. No real-money gambling.
SmartHold teaches optimal video poker hold — for beginners starting from zero and advanced players closing the last gap to perfect play. Every miss comes with a plain-English reason and, where one holds, a rule of thumb measured across every possible deal, so you learn to recognize the right hold instead of memorizing a table.
No ads for anyone, free or paid. When your Practice credits run out, they refill the next day — you never sit through a video to keep playing.
ONE TABLE, YOUR CHOICE OF STAKES
• PRACTICE — every hold is graded against exact computed strategy, with the EV difference and why the best play wins. Misses go straight into your review queue. Every game plays from one shared Practice bankroll: 200 free credits available every day, and anything you win or don't spend stays in it. Jacks or Better and Bonus Poker can also play with the wager off entirely; buying a paid game gives it that same unlimited mode.
• WEEKLY EV CHALLENGE — race through a shared weekly set of hands for two minutes. New hands arrive every Monday at 00:00 UTC; retry all week to beat your best. See an instant verdict after every hold, compete by EV earned or EV given up, replay any run, and review your mistakes afterward. Hands download before the timer starts; timed play runs locally.
• REVIEW — spaced repetition resurfaces exactly the hands you got wrong, so you drill your weak spots instead of replaying hands you already know.
• ANALYZE — enter any five cards or load your last hand. See the best hold, why it wins, and the top five holds ranked. Share it as a link or add it to review.
BUILT TO MAKE IT STICK
• A plain-English reason for every best play, not just a verdict, plus "hold this over that" rules of thumb measured for each game
• A review queue that schedules itself, with last-missed and last-correct history — intervals grow as you get a hand right and reset when you miss it again
• A written strategy guide for every game
• Multi-card taps, swipe-to-hold, and rebindable browser keys
• Practice, Review, and Analyze work offline — hands are dealt and graded on your device
• Per-game leaderboards for perfect-hold streak, credits won, return, and accuracy cost
• Weekly challenge leaderboards and timed replays

PLAY YOUR WAY
No account or connection is required for Practice, Review, Analyze, stats, or strategy guides; your progress saves on your device. Optional free sign-in syncs stats, review queue, and settings across devices. Challenge preparation and results, sync, and leaderboards need a connection; the timed challenge itself plays locally after its hands download.
WHAT'S PAID
Every game is playable free in Practice, with the full trainer, analyzer, review deck, stats, and strategy guides. One Practice bankroll is shared by every game: 200 free credits are available every day, and anything you win or don't spend stays in it. A one-time game purchase lets you play that game without spending Practice credits, includes its custom pay table, and enters its Weekly EV Challenge. Jacks or Better and Bonus Poker challenges are included with a permanent signed-in account. All-Access covers every game's unlimited mode, custom table, and challenge, and adds unlimited credit top-ups. Extra Practice credits are also available as an optional one-time refill. Review and the Analyzer never spend credits.
SmartHold is an educational training simulator for adults (18+), not a gambling app: no real-money wagering, and Practice credits have no real-world value and cannot be cashed out.

Ratings & Reviews
New: Share any hand from the Hand Analyzer as a link that opens in the app, see its top five holds ranked, and send the hand you just played in Practice or Review straight to the analyzer. Stats add a daily accuracy chart, and each game expands into its pay tables. Your purchases and a restore button are now on the Account screen. Practice credits sync safely between devices, tablets rotate cleanly, and many lessons are clearer.
