About Online-Poker.ai
Online-poker.ai is a free, play-money poker site for people who want to learn the game properly. There are no real-money stakes, no deposits, no signups required, and no operator behind a flashy cashier. You open the page, you sit down, you play.
Our mission
Most poker sites optimise for one thing: getting you to deposit. We optimise for a different thing: helping you understand poker well enough that, if you ever do play for real money somewhere else, you go in with your eyes open. Every feature on this site — the AI opponents, the in-play hints, the 250+ written guides, the interactive tools — exists to make practice cheaper and feedback faster than it would be at a live table or a real-money room.
We are not a gambling operator, an affiliate funnel, or a sportsbook in disguise. We are a learning environment that happens to look and feel like a poker room.
What we offer
- Playable tables. Texas Hold'em and Omaha (PLO) against rule-based AI opponents, with optional hints, hand strength meters and a built-in advisor. Cash-game style with adjustable stakes, plus tournament-style structures.
- 250+ strategy guides. Written and reviewed by our editorial team, covering everything from basic rules through ICM, range construction, GTO concepts, mental game and tournament play. Browse them at /guides/.
- Interactive tools. An odds calculator, a 13×13 range builder, an ICM calculator, a preflop equity tool, a push/fold chart, a bankroll calculator, a hand-history reviewer and a hand replayer. All free, all browser-based, no installs.
- Practice features. A weekly hand of the week, a daily challenge widget on the homepage, a poker quiz, a searchable glossary, and personal stats tracking via /my-stats/.
- Optional community. An opt-in leaderboard if you want to compare results, plus a Discord server linked in the footer.
Editorial standards
Our writers and reviewers publish under pseudonyms. We do this for a simple reason: poker writing attracts strong opinions and, occasionally, abuse aimed at the writer rather than the argument. Pseudonyms let our team write candidly about losing sessions, tilt, study mistakes and topics that real-name authors tend to dodge. You can read each editor's background, focus area and pseudonym policy on the editorial team page.
Every guide goes through a three-step review:
- Draft. Written by an editor whose focus matches the topic (e.g. tournament content goes to the tournament editor).
- Strategy review. A second editor checks the maths, the recommended lines and the framing. Anything contradicting current accepted theory needs a citation or a footnote.
- Copy review. A final pass for plain English, en-GB spelling and consistency with the rest of the library.
Where a guide makes a numerical claim (pot odds, equity, ICM pressure, push/fold thresholds), we cross-check it against our own tools. If we update a guide materially, the article page shows a new "modified" date. We do not silently rewrite history.
How we are funded
The site is currently funded out of pocket by its operator. We do not run real-money gambling, we do not take affiliate commissions from real-money operators, and we do not sell user data. If that changes — for example, we add display advertising or sponsorships — we will disclose it clearly on this page and on the relevant guides.
