Built for the moments your tracker can't reach.
Live cash. Mixed games. Private home games. Casino lineups you've seen twice in three months. Trackers don't help here. PokerReads does — opponent recall written like notes a serious player would actually take, session prep that fits in 30 seconds, bankroll-level decisions that don't pretend variance is theoretical, and a measured synthesis-quality engine whose methodology you can audit.
Built by someone who actually plays the games.
Built and run by David Paredes — 2015 WPT Borgata Poker Open Champion, $2.5M+ in live tournament earnings, and a high-stakes cash player (both NL and PLO) for the better part of two decades. He graduated with a degree in Economics from Harvard, holds an MFA in Fiction Writing from NYU, and a JD from NYU Law School. He brings all of those skill sets to bear on PokerReads — making it an instrumental tool in any serious poker player's arsenal.

$99.99/mo or $999/yr. Founder-led onboarding builds your first 20-player vault by hand. Plus a monthly review call with the founder, 1 priority read every month, priority synthesis, and everything in Pro for as long as you're subscribed.
- 20-player first vault, source-backed and reviewed with you.
- Raw HHs become evidence, not failed reads.
- Built for prep and review. No HUD, no solver, no hand advice.
You sit at a 9-handed table at 9 PM. You've played two of these guys before, three are unfamiliar, four have shifted seats since last week.
What did Liam do on the river last time? Does the kid in seat 4 fold or jam to a 3-bet? Your tracker has none of this. Your memory has some of it but not in time for the first orbit.
You know there was a mood shift, a bad rebuy, or a loose last hour. By tomorrow, the useful detail is gone.
You don't need a solver. You need the session discipline layer preserved: what changed, when it changed, and what rule you want to tighten next time.
You closed the session up. Or down. Either way you went loose somewhere in the middle.
You can't process it now. You'll forget by tomorrow. By Sunday it's all blurred into "I ran bad" or "I played well" — neither of which is a decision you can act on.
You're 50 buy-ins into a downswing. Your stake says "you're under-rolled." Your gut says "grind through."
Generic risk-of-ruin formulas don't model your actual swings. They don't see the account drift, the cashflow churn, the four months of your real session sigma.
Your study group is in three different chats. Half the reads are in WhatsApp, half are in Telegram, the screenshots got dropped in Discord by the guy who deleted his account.
You re-tell the same hand to four people. The reads decay. Someone misses the lineup tonight because the chat moved on at 2 AM.
"Trust me bro, the AI got it right."
Every other tool says some version of this. Most never explain how read changes are tested, what blocks a bad change, or who has final approval.
What you actually use, day to day.
Every feature below is shipped today. Nothing on this page is "coming soon" or behind a wait list. Sign up, set a starting bankroll, and you're in.
Bankroll Operating Brief
Readiness score 0–100, color-coded. Five live metrics: true bankroll, main-stake cover, ruin risk modeled against your real sigma, account trust score, monthly pace. Three concrete next moves before you sit.
Pre-session lineup prep
Paste or capture the expected lineup before you sit. Names are extracted, matching reads are refreshed, and the opponent memory is ready for study without live-screen reading or hand-by-hand advice.
Stop-loss check-ins
Log mood drift, stop-loss pressure, and rebuy discipline so the session can be reviewed honestly later. The product records your guardrails; the decision stays yours.
Open any player — get the read
Structured synthesis with cited hands and exploit lines. Fact / inference distinction explicit. Confidence map matched to sample size. Quick Reference for pre-session study.
Last Session Command Review
One screen, five bullets: what went well, what bled, one play to study, mood pattern, bankroll move. Push notification when the session ends so the lesson lands before sleep.
Bankroll Weekly Review
Sunday-night recap. Net result, four-week trend, biggest swing, biggest leak, best game, account drift, recommended next-week plan. Review context stays grounded in your own session history.
Pattern Map + Edge Map
Deterministic patterns: venue concentration, drift, stale check-ins, unassigned ledger rows, cashflow churn, expense drag, reconciliation cadence. Where your bankroll edge actually lives.
Groups + Scout Links
Private read pool with your study crew. Hands, notes, screenshots, and reads stay scoped to the group. Share-a-Read scout links scrub names before they leave the app.

Subscription because the value compounds — your database grows, the engine sharpens, and the synthesis only gets better with use.
How to know we're not faking it.
Read changes run through private poker-correctness checks before they touch production. Additional gates — cross-model judging, held-out prediction, and observed feedback — are part of the ongoing quality track before any engine promotion is considered.
The rule is simple: a challenger can recommend, but it cannot crown itself. See the quality methodology →
Skeptical is the right setting. Try the demo without signing up. If the read on a synthetic opponent doesn't read like a serious player wrote it, the rest of this page didn't matter.
