01 · Overview

NUTS Poker is a poker game you play for fun. No real money, no deposits, no withdrawals, no gambling licence to dance around in your jurisdiction. In-game credits only, and the credits are not redeemable. The point is the game, not the cashout.

What's different: NUTS, our poker engine, sits at the centre of the entire product. You can play against it, with other humans (and against humans), or alongside it as your personal coach. Same engine, three roles. None of them are scenery.

The line we are drawing: the world's most sophisticated poker companion. Coaching is a feature, not a workaround. In-game credits sit on the right side of every major gambling regulatory line, which means we can iterate fast and launch globally without spending half our energy on compliance.

Features in development

01

Play against NUTS

A roster of six AI opponents driven by the same underlying engine with different parameter profiles. From a tight-passive Beginner through a balanced Semi-Pro to an unrestricted NUTS Prime. No fake AI tier, no difficulty slider; the same engine wearing different personalities.

02

Sidekick mode

Working name. Puts the engine at your shoulder while you play. Reads the spot, shows you what the strongest poker AI in the world would do, and explains why. Your decision either way, but with the best possible second opinion on tap, in real time. Coach, not autopilot.

03

Three flavours of table

AI-only tables where you pick the lineup. Mixed tables with humans and AI side by side. Human-only tables where Sidekick still works for your own decisions. Fairness boundary between bot instances is absolute and audited.

04

Adapts to you over time

A built-in opponent tracker learns your VPIP, your 3-bet frequency, your c-bet patterns, your timing tells. Higher personality tiers use more of it against you. Improve your game and the engine has less to exploit; stay stuck on the same leaks and it quietly drains your credits.

05

Reads built on real behaviour

Sidekick uses the same tracker on your opponents. The reads it whispers in your ear are based on observed behaviour at the table, not generic textbook ranges.

06

Cards-on-felt that feels right

Pot animations, card flips, chip slides, fold sweeps, action timers, Bezier-curve chip arcs. Looks and feels like a poker game, not a strategy app with cards on it. Timing humanisation makes the AI feel human even when it isn't.

07

Multi-table

Up to six concurrent tables for higher tiers. Each table independent. Each AI seat its own engine instance. Sidekick works across all your tables simultaneously.

08

Personal stats and review

After every session, your numbers. VPIP, PFR, 3-bet by position, c-bet frequency, WTSD, showdown win rate. For Sidekick subscribers, every spot where your action diverged from the recommendation, ranked by EV impact. The hands you want to study, surfaced automatically.

09

Challenges

Beat a Semi-Pro from a 20-big-blind stack. Make a final table with all-Pro opponents. Survive a session against NUTS Prime without going below half your starting stack. Play 100 hands without Sidekick disagreeing with you twice. Optional, ignorable, but there.
