Fishbowl Reps
Live poker training for low-stakes games
Fishbowl Reps deals you the spots that come up again and again at live low-stakes tables: button opens, limped pots, squeezes, multiway messes. Your opponents play like the real pool: sticky regulars, calling stations, nits, maniacs. Make a decision, see how it plays out, and get the next hand right away.
Free: 50 hands a day. The browser version needs a free account; the download doesn't.
Solvers teach you to be unexploitable against perfect opponents. Your $1/$2 table isn't that. Fishbowl Reps is for learning to beat the people who are actually there.
Each villain is a player type with its own tendencies: the passive regular who never folds a pair, the calling station, the nit who only raises the nuts, the trapper who slowplays sets, the aggressive reg and the maniac. Their actions follow their hand strength, so their lines tell a story.
Hands don't stop at one decision. You play the flop, turn and river against realistic bet sizes, with mixed stack depths, and see what they had at the end.
Single-raised pots in and out of position, 3-bet pots, isolating limpers, squeezes, 3- and 4-way pots, blind battles. Or pick "Random spot" and get a different one every hand.
Pot-limit Omaha, and the double-board PLO bomb pots that live rooms love: everyone antes, two flops, half the pot on each board.
On Pro, Claude reviews your whole session: your biggest leaks, with the hands that show them. Ask about any single hand, or mark hands during play and review them together afterwards.
Every spot shows the hero and villain ranges as a 13×13 chart. Think your pool calls wider? Click or drag on the chart to change it, and the next session deals the new range.
All-in hands record your equity and expected value, so a session summary separates good decisions from good runouts. Replay the exact same deals to test one plan against another.
Keyboard shortcuts for every action, animation speed up to instant, and the next hand is dealt the moment one ends. A hundred hands go by quickly.
Start free. Upgrade from inside the app any time; cancel any time. One plan covers the desktop app and the browser.
A credit is one question about a hand; a full session review is 10.
Install it, open it, and you're dealt in. No account needed for the free plan. Or play in your browser with a free account, nothing to install.
Windows may say "Windows protected your PC" the first time, because the installer is new. Click More info, then Run anyway.
No. Solvers find the unexploitable strategy against perfect play. Fishbowl Reps is the opposite: practice exploiting the mistakes real live players make, like calling too much, rarely bluffing and slowplaying big hands.
Not for the desktop app's free plan. Playing in the browser needs a free account (no card), and so does upgrading. One account works everywhere: sign in on any computer or browser and your plan comes with you.
On Pro, Claude (Anthropic's AI) gets a summary of your session: every decision you made, how strong your hand was, what the villains did, and how each hand ended. It writes a review of your leaks with the hands that show them, and answers questions about any hand.
For the free plan, a one-way hash that identifies your computer (so the daily hand limit works) and how many hands you've played today. With an account, your email and your plan. Your hands and sessions stay on your computer (in the browser version, in your browser's storage), except what you send to the coach when you ask it something. Payments go through Stripe; we never see your card.
Download it for Windows or macOS (Apple silicon and Intel), or play in your browser on anything with a recent Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari. The browser version works on phones too (hold it upright).
