What FlopHero Is and How It Works

FlopHero is a browser-based GTO tool where you review the hands you played, study any spot on the solver, and train against GTO.

Nothing in particular — just your FlopHero account.

FlopHero is a browser-based GTO (game theory optimal) tool. Every area lives in a header that follows you through the app: Tracker, Strategies and Trainer (marked BETA), with an Upload button to their right.

You work through those areas in this order:

  1. Upload hands you already played.
  2. Read the session back and find your costliest decisions.
  3. Build any spot in Strategies and see the solver's line.
  4. Practice against GTO in the Trainer.

Start by bringing your hands in

FlopHero works from your hand histories, the files your poker site or tracker creates from the hands you play. Click Upload and the Upload Hands and Analyze window opens.

Drop a single file or a whole folder onto it. FlopHero starts reading your hands the moment they land. The Paste Text tab is the exception: paste your hands there and press its own Analyze button.

The window's Supported Sites grid pictures the sites it recognises. If the file will not go in, Fixing Common Problems has the fixes.

You'll find which sites and file types are covered in Supported Sites and Formats, and the full walkthrough in Uploading Hand Histories.

Review the hands you played

Tracker is where you read your hands back. It opens on Sessions: each session is a row showing what you Won and its All-in EV, which Reading the Numbers defines, and a graph beside it charts the result hand by hand.

Below that sits the hand list, one row per hand. Click its EV Loss % header to put the decision that cost you most on top. Every analyzed hand is graded from Optimal down to Blunder, and the rest are marked Not Analyzed, so each row says how well that hand was played.

Open any hand and it plays back in the Hand replayer, street by street. You see how the solver would play that spot, right beside the table. The numbers behind these columns are explained in Reading the Numbers, and the grades in Decision Quality.

Hero Mistakes, also in the Tracker, rolls your hands up into GTO deviations by position and street, so recurring leaks become clear. Files & Database keeps every file you upload in one place.

Study any spot

Strategies is the solver itself. Instead of waiting for a spot to come up in play, you build one: lay out the preflop action. FlopHero shows the solver's strategy for that exact spot. Strategies Overview is the place to start.

The configuration panel: the site, the stake, the type, the study depth, the number of players and the stack.

The areas connect here. In the Trainer, the Study This Spot button opens Strategies in a new tab with that exact spot already loaded, so a hand you drilled becomes a spot you can take apart in full. The Hand replayer has its own control labeled Open strategy screen with this config.

Train against GTO

The Trainer turns study into practice. You play against GTO: FlopHero deals a spot and you choose an action. It records your verdict in the session's stats and history instead of flashing a popup, then waits for you to click Next Hand.

You can drill up to four tables at once, start from a preflop spot or a pre-built drill, and send any spot to the solver with Study This Spot when you want to dig in. Getting Started with the Trainer covers the mode in full.

One toolkit, priced by your stakes

Every paid plan includes the same toolkit. Your tier only decides how high you can play, from micro games up to the very biggest, and never which features you get. A free option is available too.

Plans and Pricing covers what each tier costs and how the free tier fits in.

Questions

Do I need to install anything to run FlopHero?

No. FlopHero runs in your web browser and there is nothing to install.

From General and Technical FAQ

Can I use FlopHero on my phone?

Yes. FlopHero has no phone app to install. You open it in your phone's web browser.

Sessions, Strategies and the Trainer all adapt to a small screen. On a phone, the navigation collapses into a menu button. The panels below it stack vertically.

The Trainer switches to a mobile layout, with the table shown vertically and its own row of buttons along the bottom. While the Trainer is in BETA, the settings you pick on a phone may not be there next session, so check them each time you start.
