Everything you need to beat the table
Poker Shark is an exploitative poker training app wrapped in a full poker game. Here is everything inside, from the twelve-level arena to hand replay, leak detection, and the free tools.
Play a full poker campaign
So you build the read-and-adjust instinct against tougher opponents, one level at a time.
12-Level Roguelike Progression
Start at $1/$2 and climb to $500/$1,000 across escalating stakes and increasingly tough opponents.
Every level alternates your position — in position on odd levels, out of position on even. Levels 1–6 play 100bb; 7–12 shift to 200bb deep stack where SPR management and postflop complexity ramp dramatically. A reserve bankroll system gates your progression — drop below zero and the run ends.
Villains Built from Real Data
Six archetypes calibrated on real 2NL–25NL population data.
Every opponent is a white-box model — published stats, explainable decisions, documented exploits. When a villain check-raises you, you can look up why.
Mirrored Shades +7% bluff reduction Bounties & Item Shop
Stack the same villain twice to collect bounties worth $25–$15,000.
After every other level, choose items that shape how opponents perceive you — the way a flashy watch or dark hoodie would at a real table. Items influence whether villains call you down lighter, fold to your pressure, or adjust their bluff frequency.
Study any hand, then rewrite it
So you learn from every hand you played, then try the line you did not.
Watch & Takeover
Replay any hand step-by-step, then take over at any decision point and play against the live engine.
The system reconstructs the exact game state — stacks, pot, board, deck — and the remaining board cards stay the same. See exactly how a different line plays out on the same runout.
Share Hands
Generate a public link to any hand — viewers get a full felt replay without logging in.
Social preview cards for Discord and Twitter show your cards, position, villain, and result. Share spots with your study group or post to forums.
Drill Mode
Replay is not only for hands you played — drill curated spots against the live engine until the right line is automatic.
Work through scenario sets built around each archetype's leaks, branch any decision, and see how it plays out on the same runout.
Know your opponents before they know you
So you sit down already knowing how each opponent leaks and how to punish it.
Villain Scouting
Watch enough hands and the villain's full behavioral profile unlocks — stats, tendencies, and documented exploits.
Fourteen signal types tracked across preflop and postflop — check-raises, triple barrels, limp-reraises, overbets. The dossier shows VPIP/PFR positioning, bet profile, showdown threshold, and your running P&L against that exact opponent.
Custom Villain Builder
Dial in looseness and aggression to generate a custom opponent profile.
Upload real hand histories from the people you actually play against — the villain absorbs those tendencies so you can practice exploiting them before your next session. Online and shorthand formats accepted.
Battle Log
Every hand recorded and searchable by villain, position, hero cards, and result.
Star important hands, filter by branch status, sort by recency or pot size. Each entry links to the full felt replay.
Import from Anywhere
Paste hand histories from PokerStars, 888, PartyPoker, Bovada, Bodog, or Ignition — format auto-detected.
Also supports poker shorthand and forum-style formats. Twelve distinct format gaps are covered. Parsed hands feed directly into drill mode, villain profiles, and your analytics.
Record a Live Hand
Played a big hand at a real table? Rebuild it in the hand recorder, seat by seat, and drop it straight into your library.
From there it replays and analyzes like any hand you played here — so the spots you face live become reps you can study and recall.
Prove you can exploit
So you find out whether your reads hold up when the spots stop being easy.
The Gauntlet
A 100-hand heads-up exam where most spots are a documented leak waiting to be punished.
Miss the exploit and you leave money on the table; take it and you climb the money-line leaderboard against house benchmarks. It is the clearest test of whether you can turn a read into chips under pressure.
Your data, your edge
So you find the one leak costing you the most and fix it, instead of guessing.
Leak Detection & Analytics
VPIP, PFR, aggression by street, showdown thresholds, and profit curves — all from your actual play.
The system flags 14 specific leaks with severity ratings and hand evidence: "overfolds to re-raises," "passive turn play," "misses river value." Villain stats are pot-weighted — big bets count more than min-bets.
Career Dashboard
Lifetime stats, BB/100 trending, best runs, and per-villain profit breakdowns.
The hero scouting report shows your archetype, bet profile, showdown threshold, and per-street aggression — see your game the way your opponents do.
Exploitative Play Loop
This isn't GTO drilling — it's learning to read and punish real human tendencies.
Opponents punish your leaks in real time: limp too much and you get iso-raised; overfold to 3-bets and villains widen their range. Observe, hypothesize, exploit — the same loop that builds edge at a real table.
