Start with real decisions.
Hand histories provide examples of actions and bet sizes in context. They are the training evidence behind the models; API access does not include raw hand-history downloads.
POPULATION MODELS FOR DEVELOPERS
Real poker behavior.
Built into your app.
Build poker experiences around how real players actually play. Build bots, practice environments, and analysis tools with population-based poker models trained on real hand histories. Bring human tendencies into your product with context-aware action probabilities and conditional bet-sizing distributions.

POPULATION BEHAVIOR MODELSHAND-AWARE PROBABILITIESCONDITIONAL BET SIZINGBUILT FOR DEVELOPERS
FROM OBSERVED PLAY TO YOUR PRODUCT
One foundation.
Many poker experiences.
Access a reusable model of population behavior: the tendencies, sizing patterns, and imperfect decisions that make human poker different from an optimal strategy.
Estimate how players behave.
Models estimate action frequencies and conditional sizing tendencies from the board, betting history, position, pot, and stacks. Responses are model estimates, rather than direct counts of matching hands in a database.
Build on those estimates.
Use the outputs in your own game, simulation, or analysis interface. Your application supplies game rules, manages state, and turns predictions into an experience.
WHAT YOU CAN BUILD
Human tendencies.
Your application.
These are applications you can develop using the model outputs.
Bots and simulated opponents
Drive opponents with estimated population decisions and sizing patterns. Give simulations behavior grounded in observed play.
Practice games and training experiences
Build repeatable situations against modeled opponents. Add your own lessons, feedback, and progression.
Tendency explorers and hand review
Show how predicted action mixes change across situations. Put recorded decisions beside population estimates for context.
Strategy experiments
Test hypotheses against modeled populations, including exploitative strategy research. You supply the experiment and evaluation; the model does not promise optimal strategy or profitable play.
HOW WE APPROACH REALISM
Learned tendencies.
Estimated hand behavior.
Population first, then the hand.
The model learns how players tend to act in a situation, then uses your hand and the current game state to estimate action probabilities.
A constraint, with limits.
Predictions depend on the information and ranges you provide. They describe player tendencies, not optimal strategy or guaranteed results. Your application can carry the updated player range into the next decision.

A clear contract.
A reusable foundation.
The actions endpoint combines learned game-context decisions with hand strength and draw potential. Bets and raises can represent value, bluffs, or semi-bluffs.

CURRENT COVERAGE
Know the population
behind the model.
Available foundation
Our $0.10/$0.25 no-limit Hold’em model was trained on one million hands from five/six-player PokerStars USD cash games and evaluated on separate hands.
Modeled player styles
Choose tight-passive, tight-aggressive, loose-passive, or loose-aggressive tendencies to adjust the estimates for a player’s style.
Higher stakes coming soon
Accepting a game state or hand history from another stake does not select a separately trained stake model. Models for $0.25/$0.50 through $5/$10 are planned, with training and validation required before each release. Both plans include all available stakes.
