Settings is where you shape a training session: how much of each hand you play, how hard the spots are, how fast hands arrive, and what your feedback shows. It does not appear on the pre-session setup screen.

  1. Start a training session.
  2. Open the Controls tab in the left panel, beside Stats and History.

The Settings panel in a session: game mode and difficulty, how many tables run, and when the session stops.

The Trainer runs in BETA. Getting Started with the Trainer covers how a session begins.

Game Mode and difficulty

Game Mode sets how much of each hand you play. You can pick Spot, Street, Full Hand [BETA] or Beat the Solver [BETA]. Spot and Street are the narrower options, training a single spot or one street.

Full Hand plays a whole hand rather than a single spot, so your practice is not limited to preflop. This in-session Full Hand game mode is not the same as the Full Session [BETA] tab on the setup screen.

Difficulty sets how challenging the spots are: Easy, Medium, Hard or Custom [BETA].

Session flow: pace and when to stop

Number of tables runs from 1 to 4: one table keeps you on a single spot or drill, and four run at once.

Auto new hand sets how soon the next hand appears: Off, 3s or Instant.

Stop after sets when a session ends: Action, Mistake or Never. Choosing Mistake stops the session the moment you misplay a hand, which is good for focused drilling. Mistake threshold decides how big the misplay has to be before it counts: Strict, Standard or Lenient.

Picking Beat the Solver as your Game Mode sets Stop after to Mistake for you on entry, so by default that mode ends on your first misplay. Stop after stays editable afterwards.

Timer adds a countdown: Off, 7s, 15s or 25s.

Feedback display

The Display section has one control, Feedback display, which decides whether your result shows as EV or EV Loss %. Reading the Numbers covers what each of the two means. Reading Trainer Feedback covers the result you see after a hand.

There is no currency switch on the training screen itself. The bb and % pot units are on the Trainer Statistics page instead.

Your changes save on their own, so the Trainer keeps your setup for the next session. On a phone the Trainer runs its own layout, and while it is in BETA the settings you pick there may not be kept for the next session, so check them before you start. Close the panel with its X. Reset and Done are also in the footer.

Questions

The Trainer deals one table instead of four

On the free plan the Trainer runs as a demo, and the demo deals one table. A paid plan deals four by default, and Number of tables in the session's Settings panel changes it from there. Trainer Settings covers the session-flow controls.

From Fixing Common Problems

Why is the solved strategy locked in the Trainer?

On the free plan the Trainer runs as a demo: you can play the spots, but the solved GTO strategy in the Strategy drawer stays locked, and one table is dealt at a time. A paid plan unlocks the strategy and the full table count. Getting Started with the Trainer walks through the mode.
