GTOkiller

What GTOkiller does

GTOkiller, operating under the legal entity ADVANCED POKER RESEARCH, S.L., is a Spain-based software company founded in 2025 and headquartered in Donostia-San Sebastián. It builds an AI-powered exploitative poker solver targeted at online poker players, primarily those competing on the GG Poker network at stakes from NL25 to NL500+. The product is positioned as an alternative to traditional game-theory-optimal (GTO) solvers, applying Mass Data Analysis (MDA) of opponent tendencies rather than purely equilibrium-based recommendations, with coverage spanning aggressive regs, passive regs, and fish opponent profiles.

The technical foundation is an "Exploitative GTO Engine" built on counterfactual regret minimization (CFR) principles that processes structured population data drawn from millions of historical hand records. The solver is paired with an AI Coach that generates natural-language explanations of recommended actions, addressing a usability gap in incumbent desktop solvers such as PioSOLVER and GTO+. The application is delivered as a cloud service hosted on Firebase in the EU region, with Stripe handling payments, and the company states GDPR compliance.

Revenue is generated through a self-serve SaaS subscription model with two published tiers: the Edge Plan at €39 per month or €390 per year, and the Killer Plan at €79 per month or €790 per year. Distribution relies on product-led growth, content marketing via a blog, a Discord community, Twitter/X, and a referral program. The company operates with a team of 1–10 employees.

Core offering

GTOkiller is an AI-powered exploitative poker solver sold as a SaaS subscription. It replaces traditional GTO equilibrium solving with Mass Data Analysis (MDA) of real population hand histories, computing maximum-EV strategy lines against specific meta (room, stake, player type) while maintaining a safety bound against unknown adversaries. The platform includes an AI Coach that provides natural-language EV breakdowns and strategic insights for each recommendation.

Product overview

GTOKiller is an AI-powered exploitative poker solver offered as a SaaS subscription platform. The core product consists of the Exploitative GTO Solver, which replaces traditional equilibrium-based solving with strategies calculated against real population data via Mass Data Analysis (MDA). The AI Coach provides natural language explanations of each recommendation. Users access the platform through two subscription tiers: Edge (entry-level) and Killer (premium). A referral program allows users to earn credits toward free months. The platform currently covers GG Poker at stakes from NL25-NL500+ across various player types and spots.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Exploitative GTO Solver Core poker strategy calculator that replaces traditional GTO equilibrium solving with data-driven exploitation. Uses Mass Data Analysis to compute maximum-EV lines against real population tendencies at specific stakes and rooms (currently GG Poker NL25-NL500+). Displays three strategy views simultaneously: Exploitative line, GTO comparison, and Real Population data. Targeted at individual online cash-game poker players who want stake-specific exploitative strategy.
• AI Coach Natural-language explanation layer that opens the solver's black box. Provides EV Breakdowns pinpointing the exact leak being exploited and quantifying how much EV each action captures, plus Strategic Insights that synthesize transferable lessons for similar boards, textures, and situations at the user's stake. Targeted at individual poker players who want to understand the rationale behind solver recommendations rather than memorize frequencies.

Quantifiable outcome

• Pool folds 59.42% to triple barrels on river (vs GTO assumption of ~45%)

Direct peers

• PokerSnowie: PokerSnowie is an AI poker trainer that uses neural networks to recommend non-equilibrium, exploitative-leaning plays against typical opponents. It is one of the closest analogues to GTOkiller's philosophy of departing from pure GTO in favor of strategies that beat real populations.
• ICMIZER: ICMIZER is a poker training and ICM (Independent Chip Model) calculator popular among MTT and Sit & Go players. It is a direct adjacent peer: similar SaaS subscription model, similar target user (serious online grinder), and similar study-tool positioning in the poker education ecosystem.
• Simple Postflop: Simple Postflop is a commercial poker solver focused on postflop play with multi-street outputs and intuitive visualizations. It competes in the same solver tool category as GTOkiller, targeting NL online cash-game players studying GTO and exploitative lines.
• PioSOLVER: PioSOLVER is a desktop-based poker solver widely used by serious online players for postflop GTO analysis. It targets the same professional and semi-professional user base as GTOkiller and is a benchmark reference product for the solver category GTOkiller is challenging.
• GTO Wizard: GTO Wizard is a leading AI-powered GTO poker solver platform with preflop charts, hand quizzes, and solver outputs for online cash games and MTTs. It is the most direct competitor to GTOkiller, serving the same online cash-game audience at similar stakes with browser-based study tools.

Others

• PokerTracker: PokerTracker is a long-standing online poker tracking and HUD software used by serious online players. While not a solver, it supplies the hand-history databases and player statistics that underpin GTOkiller's MDA approach, making it a key ecosystem participant and indirect peer.
• Hold'em Manager: Hold'em Manager is an online poker tracking and analysis tool with HUD, database, and reporting features. It is an ecosystem participant comparable to PokerTracker, providing the kind of hand-history infrastructure and statistical baselines that support population-aware products like GTOkiller.

Emerging players

• Advanced Poker Training: Advanced Poker Training is an AI-driven poker training platform that simulates play and offers strategy feedback. It sits in the same AI-assisted poker improvement category as GTOkiller but focuses more on simulated play than solver-driven population analysis.

Broad incumbents

• Run It Once: Run It Once is a poker training site founded by Phil Galfond offering strategy videos, hand reviews, and study content. It serves a broader poker-education audience than GTOkiller but competes for the same pool of paying online cash-game subscribers seeking to improve their game.
• PokerCoaching.com: PokerCoaching.com is a poker education platform offering strategy courses, hand analysis, and training content from high-profile pros (e.g., Jonathan Little). It addresses a broader learning journey than GTOkiller but overlaps heavily in targeting mid-stakes NL cash-game players willing to pay for subscription study tools.
