Learn Texas Hold'em the way you'd learn an instrument: a few minutes of real practice a day. Poker Skill gives you short, guided lessons built around real decisions, then a daily puzzle to test your instincts. Every answer gets coaching, so you know why a play works, not just whether you got it right. No wagering. No real money. Just poker, taught one hand at a time. What you'll practice: - Texas Hold'em fundamentals, position, and table dynamics - Preflop decisions you can trust - Pot odds, outs, and equity without the math headache - Bluffing and hand reading as you improve Short sessions, streaks, and visible progress make it easy to stay with it. Start from zero, or fix the leaks in a game you already have. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Promising future for this app

Overall the app is well made. The design, UI, and overall look of it is simplistic but attractive. I know that things are just rolling out, but I wish things would have released with more content. To get through the first 2 sections and then be locked out was really disheartening, as I’m already a fairly competent player and was looking more for advanced skills than rudimentary “click all the Spades” type content.Also, the initial “hint/advice” in the speech bubble under the goal of the objective should be able to be hidden. It gives away too much when you’re trying to solve on your own. ie: One said directly “Two checks. Bet small for Thing Value” and then the options were to Check Back or Bet Small. It takes no thought if you tell me just above to bet small.I may end up deleting, but I hope when I come back it’s more full fledged, because I honestly think I would use it every day. I think it could be that good.

Nice breakdown - thanks for taking the time.We hear you: competent players should be able to get to tougher spots faster, and hints should not give away the line before you think it through.We're improving both so you can put in reps without the app playing the hand for you.

Great premise, execution could be improved

I love the idea of the app, but there are a few things that I think could do with improvement. The idea of a poker app similar to Duolingo is genuinely great, I downloaded it literally the first ad I saw for it, and the lessons genuinely are informative. I’m not a poker pro so I can’t exactly speak on the entire validity of the strategies presented in the app but in the online micro stakes games I’ve played these do work. However, there are a few things I think could be improved. For one, I think that being required to finish every lesson prior to the next mixed with the energy system just makes it kind of miserable for anyone choosing to use the free version of the app (especially if you did not pick the correct level), but I do understand that it pushes people to want to try the plus version so it makes sense. I think that doing away with one of these things for free users would retain a lot more people. Also just a little nitpicky but personally I find the speed at which the text shows up in a lesson is kind of annoying with how slow it is. Would be perfect if there was a setting where you could change the speed of the animation or disable the animation entirely and just have the text pop up.

Love that you gave us a shot off the first ad and that the lessons are holding up in real micro stakes games. Two tips that should help: you can test forward to skip past lessons you already know (big if you picked the wrong starting level), and tapping while the text is typing makes it appear instantly. The energy system feedback on free is fair and it's with the team. Keep building those skills.

Poker skill is a very clean, and simple looking app for start, it’s got a fun daily puzzle and a challenge tree that actually teaches (even beginners) the basics to not just poker but the cards too regarding suits and the meaning of each card. If you’re serious about getting into poker I would say there is no better place to start than right here, and just to add the icing on the cake their instagram page is always available with questions and they’re very friendly and pretty timely with responses. So what are you waiting for? If you’re trying to learn how to play poker, take the leap. This is your way.

Let me start this by saying that I was a complete fish before installing this app. I thought I knew about poker, but I didn’t. This app has so many specific scenarios, which gives you experience for real tables. The breakdowns are very detailed and do a very good job of explaining when to make a certain play and why. The terminology they use is techy, but not too niche that it becomes a foreign language. Overall, I would recommend this to literally anyone who is starting to become serious about Texas hold ‘em poker.

Thanks so much for sharing this! Really glad the scenarios and breakdowns are helping real-table decisions click. We built Poker Skill for exactly that jump from learning the terms to knowing what to do at the table. Keep building those skills.
