How do I analyze a poker hand?

Open PokerSnap on your phone or desktop and snap a photo of your hole cards. The AI identifies each card using Gemini vision, then runs 50,000 Monte Carlo simulations to calculate your win probability, pot odds, and position-aware GTO strategy advice — all in seconds.

What are the best starting hands in Texas Hold'em?

The best starting hands in Texas Hold'em are pocket Aces (AA), pocket Kings (KK), pocket Queens (QQ), and Ace-King suited (AKs). These premium hands should be raised or 3-bet from any position. PokerSnap scans your hole cards and tells you exactly whether to raise, call, or fold based on your seat at the table.

What is pot odds in poker?

Pot odds are the ratio of the current pot size to the cost of a call. For example, if the pot is $100 and you must call $20, your pot odds are 5:1 (or 20%). If your chance of winning is greater than 20%, calling is profitable. PokerSnap calculates pot odds automatically alongside your hand equity.

How does position affect poker strategy?

Position is one of the most important factors in poker. Late positions like the Button (BTN) and Cutoff (CO) are the most profitable because you act last and see what opponents do before deciding. GTO strategy opens about 50% of hands from the Button but only 15% from Under the Gun. PokerSnap provides position-aware advice for every hand.

What is the difference between a flush and a straight in poker?

A flush is five cards of the same suit (e.g., A♣ J♣ 9♣ 6♣ 2♣) regardless of order. A straight is five cards in sequential rank (e.g., 9♠ 8♥ 7♦ 6♣ 5♠) regardless of suit. A flush beats a straight in standard poker hand rankings. A straight flush — five suited cards in sequence — beats both.
