Competitive gaming platform introduced by GTO Wizard - PokerArena
Introducing PokerArena: A Revolutionary GTO-Based Poker Game on the GTO Wizard Platform
PokerArena, a new addition to the GTO Wizard platform, offers an exciting and educational experience for poker enthusiasts. This competitive poker game app is focused on fast-paced, shallow-stack heads-up Sit & Go games, providing players with GTO-based feedback after each match to help them improve their strategy in a structured way.
How It Works
In PokerArena, players compete in heads-up Sit & Go games with shallow stacks, which are short matches between two players. After every match, the app provides a free GTO analysis detailing optimal play and highlighting exploitable mistakes, enabling players to learn and adjust their strategies effectively.
The platform supports a range of customizable scenarios and focuses on realistic models of poker confrontations, including multiway postflop solving, though PokerArena specifically is heads-up focused. It is designed for training and improvement, not real money gambling, and is offered as a tool to sharpen poker skills by learning from GTO solutions.
Key Features
PokerArena offers three modes: Competitive, Casual, and Play With Friends. In the Competitive mode, players compete with opponents and earn points. The Casual mode is the same as Competitive, but without the risk of losing points. The Play With Friends mode allows inviting specific people and playing up to 9 players at one table, with no rating involved.
The app is cross-platform with a shared pool and rating for all devices. Players start each tournament with 500 chips, and blinds increase every 4 hands. Each hand in PokerArena is automatically checked for GTO compliance.
Leaderboard and Rewards
The leaderboard in PokerArena is divided into 5 ranks (Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond) with 3 divisions each. Each month, a new season begins on the PokerArena leaderboard. Top players in the previous month's leaderboard receive awards.
Getting Started
To start playing PokerArena, visit the official website and follow the "Get Started for Free" prompt. PokerArena is playable either in-browser or on iOS, and it runs on Windows, macOS, and Android via browser, with a separate iOS app.
New players start with 1,500 points and Silver status. Profile data in PokerArena includes status, point count, and game statistics. Opponent selection takes a few seconds.
Conclusion
PokerArena is a valuable tool for poker enthusiasts who want to improve their gameplay by learning from GTO solutions. With its fast-paced, heads-up Sit & Go games and immediate GTO feedback, PokerArena offers a unique and engaging way to master unexploitable poker strategies through practical play and solver comparisons.
