Bring the notes you already have. I'll help build the vault.
If you've been playing seriously for a while, the intel exists — it's in private chats, hand-history exports, screenshots from broadcasts, voice memos after sessions, and notes you typed at 2 AM. The problem isn't that the read doesn't exist. The problem is that it isn't structured, searchable, or current. Champion is the founder-led tier that fixes that without you spending a weekend on data entry — and keeps the engine sharp for as long as you're subscribed.
Founder-led setup. Monthly review call. Priority synthesis.
$99.99/mo · or $999/yr (2 months free)Send me the messy corpus you already have. Chats, screenshots, hand histories, session notes — whatever you've got. I'll build the first 20-player private opponent vault by hand, walk through the output with you, and make sure the reads hold up before your next live trip or tournament series. Then every month after, we have a 30-minute review call to keep the vault current, plus a priority read of your choice — so the subscription stays high-touch for as long as you're on it.
10 onboarding slots per quarter · founder time is the constraintFounder-led onboarding (first 90 days)
- 30-minute kickoff call to align on which opponents matter, what game scope to focus on, and which sources to ingest first.
- 20 named opponent reads built from your inputs — tendencies, exploits, evidence trails, sample-size confidence, and the gaps that need more hands before you act.
- Source cleanup across whatever you sent — chat threads scrubbed for noise, hand histories normalized into the right game type, screenshots tied to the right session.
- Two review sessions — one mid-build to course-correct, one after your next live session using the vault, so the reads get tested in the field.
- Standing email line with the founder for the first 60 days. Reply within a day, usually faster.
Ongoing (every month you're subscribed)
- Monthly review call with the founder — 30 minutes, every month, to walk through your vault: what's working, what's drifted, which reads need refresh, and which opponents to prioritize before your next session.
- 1 priority read every month — an opponent you nominate gets pushed to the top of the queue and reviewed personally before delivery.
- Everything in Pro — unlimited players + hands, full synthesis engine, Operating Brief, Table Scan, Weekly Review, Share-a-Read.
- Priority synthesis queue — your standard read-generation requests get bumped ahead of Pro tier.
- Private Champion channel — small, founder-moderated, for product feedback and serious-player conversation.
How it works.
- You choose the corpus.Send a chat export, screenshots, hand-history files, voice memos, a Google Doc — whatever you've got. We start with what's already structured and work outward from there.
- I build the first vault.Players, aliases, source tagging, first scout cards, and confidence notes. Twenty opponents, source-backed, written like notes a serious player would actually take.
- We walk through the output together.You tell me what's useful, what's wrong, what's missing, and where the read is too strong for the sample. I calibrate confidence to your actual experience of the lineup.
- You keep it current.After every session, you add what changed. PokerReads updates the memory layer. The vault stays sharp because the evidence stays fresh — and you don't start from an empty app.
Why I'm asking for your notes instead of pitching another app.
Most serious players already have the intel. The problem isn't generating reads from scratch — it's that the existing intel decays. Chats roll over and the read disappears with the thread. Screenshots pile up and the useful detail never becomes searchable. Live memory is sharp the night of, and gone two weeks later when the same lineup shows up again.
An empty PokerReads account doesn't fix that. Activation matters more than a cheap checkout. Champion is hands-on because the value lands the moment a real opponent — someone you've actually played twice this year — has a structured read with cited evidence. That's the experience we want pros to have on day one, and it's why onboarding is capped per quarter and the tier is priced for serious players.
No public case study. No public name. No shared read. Nothing leaves your vault without permission.

Inspect what the output actually looks like.
A short synthetic scout report so you can see the structure — quick reference, evidence chain, exploit plan, data gaps. This is the shape your vault entries take, not the vault itself.
The line we don't cross.
PokerReads is not a HUD, not a solver, not a table overlay, not an action-recommendation tool. The vault is built for pre-session prep, between-session study, and post-session review — not for decisions while a live hand is unfolding. That boundary is the product line, not a footnote. Champion inherits the same posture: founder-led setup is for memory and prep work, not for advice while you're at the table.
