Poker Puzzles
Poker puzzles that teach you to read a hand.
Every puzzle freezes one real hand at the moment it gets interesting and asks what you'd do. You answer with the same Fold, Check, Call and Raise controls you use at the table — then find out what the hand was actually worth, and why.

How a puzzle works
See the spot. Make the call. Learn why.
You get the whole spot.
Your two cards, the board, the pot, and what your opponent just did. Nothing is hidden and nothing is at stake — this is the hand as you would actually meet it.
You answer with the real controls.
The same Fold, Check, Call and Raise buttons as the table, sizing slider included. No multiple choice about strategy in the abstract — a decision, made the way you make it in a match.
You find out what it was worth.
Excellent, Good or Wrong, and then the reasoning. Two plays can both be defensible, so a verdict on its own teaches nothing; the explanation is the lesson.
A puzzle in the app: the board, your hand, and the full action dock. 
The explanation after an answer — what the hand was, and why it beats what you feared. 
The lesson map: what you have solved, and what opens next.
The curriculum
It starts with reading, and ends with deciding.
Levels 1–20
Read the hand
What did you just make, what are you drawing to, how likely is it, and is the price right. Three answers, one explanation.
Level 21 onwards
Make the call
The real controls on a real spot. Fold, check, call or raise — then find out what the hand was actually worth.
How answers are graded
The grade comes from a solver, not an opinion.
Every puzzle is authored against an engine that plays out each legal action and computes what it is worth, exactly, before the lesson is written. The bands below are that number — not a house view of how the hand ought to be played.
- Excellent
The best action available in this spot, or within a hair of it.
- Good
Defensible. It gives up a little, and the explanation says exactly how much and where.
- Wrong
The action that costs you the most here — and the one worth understanding first.

Every puzzle has a written lesson behind it.
The same curriculum the app teaches is free to read on this site — hand rankings, draws, outs, the price you are being offered. Start there if you would rather understand a spot before you sit down in one.
