How a session works
- Play a hand. Fold, check, call or raise. The odds chip shows the price of a call and your equity against the hands each bot really plays.
- Read the hand note. For each decision: what you did, the better line, why in one sentence, and the odds.
- Get a session review every 10 hands. A score out of 100, your top 3 leaks and one drill for the next 10 hands.
The table
- Fish: Plays too many hands and calls too much.
- Shark: Few hands, played hard. Respect its raises.
- Whale: Big, loose bets. Call it down lighter.
- Octopus: Bluffs often and checks strong hands.
- Crab: Calls almost anything and never raises.

What does the free coach do?
After every hand it shows each decision you made, the better line, why in one sentence, and the simple odds: the price of a call and your equity. Every 10 hands it gives a session review with your score, your top 3 leaks and one drill. All of this runs in your browser and never runs out.
What does the AI coach add?
It reads the same hand notes and writes the review in its own words. Free play gets 1 AI review a day. The coach pass gives 6 a day from Claude Haiku and live bots on more hands. When the daily budget is used, the code review still covers every hand.
Who are the bots?
Five reef creatures, each one a real playing style: the Fish calls too much, the Shark plays few hands hard, the Whale makes big loose bets, the Octopus bluffs and the Crab never raises. Learning to beat each style is the lesson.
