How to analyze a poker hand from a photo
- Take a picture of the poker hand
Photograph the table so your two hole cards and the board (flop, turn, or river) are visible. A phone photo of a live or home game works.
- Let the analyzer read the cards
The tool reads the cards from your photo. Check the result and correct any card it misreads before you continue.
- Add the pot and the bet you face
Enter the current pot size and the bet you are facing, so the analyzer can weigh your equity against the pot odds.
- Get the recommended action
The analyzer returns your equity, the pot odds, and the recommended action, with the reasoning shown so you can learn from it.
Worked example
You photograph your hand, Ah Kh, on a board of As Td 7c with a bet into you on the flop. The analyzer reads the five cards, sees top pair with the best kicker, and returns roughly 87% equity against a typical range. It then weighs that against the pot odds of the bet you face and recommends the action, so you see not just the play but the reason behind it.
What to include in the photo

| Flop | Hole cards + 3 board cards | First postflop decision |
| Turn | Hole cards + 4 board cards | Fourth board card added |
