A Duolingo-Style App to Learn Poker

Quads Poker teaches poker the way language apps teach words: five-minute lessons, a streak to keep and a path to climb. It is free, it runs in your browser, and it never touches real money.

Start freeNo card, no real money.

A Quads lesson asks Who wins? One hand is marked right, and the sheet under it says why: the kicker decides. — A question, and why

A lesson won in Quads: the table’s chip stack, the XP earned, and the rank bar a few XP short of the next rank. — A lesson won, with XP

The Arcade’s cash table in Quads: six seats with their play chips, a hand on the button, a raise made, and the small tray under the table showing the log and the bot deciding. — The Arcade, a live table

What It Shares with the Apps You Know

Short lessons.Each lesson takes about five minutes, a handful of questions you answer by tapping.
XP.Win a lesson and you earn experience points. They are a score, not money, and there is nothing to spend them on.
A day streak.Win at least one lesson a day and your streak flame stays lit.
Hearts.You have three to spare in a lesson. A wrong answer costs one, and three right in a row earn one back.
A path to climb.Eight tables, each a colour: Cards & Hands, How a Hand Plays, Betting Basics, Position, Player Types, Pot Math, Ranges, Reading Bets. The first lesson is Welcome!. Win a table and the next one opens.
Your own starting point.Tell Quads how much you have played and it starts you further up the path, with no test to sit.

What Is Poker-Specific

Poker is a game of decisions with hidden information, so a quiz is not enough. Quads adds what a poker player needs.

The Arcade.Practice hands at a live table against opponents, with a bet slider and your play chips, not just questions about a hand.
Famous hands.Replay 36 real hands from the World Series and big cash games one decision at a time, and see what the pro did. They are told in full on the famous hands pages.
The reason behind every answer.After each question Quads says why, with the math open if you want it: the hands compared, the outs counted, the price of the call.
The Dealer.Part of the optional Quads Plus membership: the Dealer’s full read, and each Monday three things worth your time, from your own record.

What It Is Not

Quads is a teacher, not a casino: there are no bets, no deposits and no prizes. It does not tell you a perfect strategy for every spot, and it does not replace hours at a table. It gets you from never having held a hand to reading a range, one short lesson at a time. New to the game? Start with poker for beginners or how to play poker. Comparing apps?

Questions

Is there a Duolingo for poker?

Quads Poker is built in that spirit: short lessons, XP, a day streak, hearts and a path of tables to climb, for learning poker instead of a language. It is its own app and is not affiliated with Duolingo.

Is it free?

Yes. Every lesson, rank and table is free, and no card is needed. Quads Plus is an optional membership that adds the Dealer, your trends and supporter card backs.

Is it real money?

No, never. Quads takes no bets and pays nothing out. It teaches with play chips only, and it is for adults, 18 and over.

How long is a lesson?

About five minutes. A day streak needs one a day.

I already play. Do I start from zero?

No. Say how much you have played and Quads starts you there, with the earlier tables already won.
