The Divergent Sidekick
You're not bad at poker. Your brain just doesn't learn it the way everyone teaches it.
Built by Rick, 30 years at the table, 3× WSOP Main Event, a 2006 Main Event cash, who still froze when the dealer flipped his cards.
Feel the Sidekick
Range charts. Six-hour grinds. Tank-tell-tilt. That whole model was built for a brain we don't have. So we built ours a new one, and now the table's the one that should be worried.
Pick a seat, pick a hand. Get a move-first verdict, the real engine, on the page.
Does this sound like you?
Seven things every ADHD poker player has felt at 1 a.m.

You've highlighted the range charts a dozen times, and still freeze the moment cards hit the felt.
Article 1 · Read →
You try to grind, and by hour two you're bored, tilted, or open-limping 9-7s just to feel alive.
Article 2 · Read →
"One more level" turns into three hours and a reload before you notice you sat down.
Article 3 · Read →
A bad beat doesn't feel like variance, it feels like a personal attack, and the next ten hands prove it.
Article 4 · Read →
You sink into the tank, run A vs B in a loop, and get less sure the longer you sit.
Article 5 · Read →
You can't sit through a beige grind, but when it gets interesting, you forget to eat.

When your bandwidth is free, you see reads other players don't, and you already know it.

Staged
Pro features: session tracking, hand-history import.
No vapor. No bait. This is the order we're shipping in.
Read the Turn
The turn doesn't compress to a chart, anyone selling you a turn oracle is inventing poker. So we didn't. Read the Turn runs you through the four things that actually decide the street, your line, what the card changed, your hand now, and the stack math, and hands you the one question that matters. Framework, the read is yours.
Everything they call our weakness is a setting we learned to control, and they didn't.
Four letters and a bad attitude. Left-handers in a right-handed game. We just took the best seat at the table.
Not for you if…
- You already run solvers nightly and crush $5/10 online.
- You want a real-time assist (we don't make one, and we won't).
- You want GTO Wizard at a discount (just use GTO Wizard).
For you if…
You've highlighted the chart and still freeze.
That's the seat we built. Sit down.
Take the best seat at the table.

A note from the founder
Built by Rick, 30 years at the table, 3× WSOP Main Event, a 2006 Main Event cash, who still froze when the dealer flipped his cards.
“I studied the theory and still froze when the dealer flipped my cards. So I built the trainer that would have saved me a thousand hours. The Sidekick is built for the brain I actually have, not the brain the theory was written for.”
Rick, founder, ADHD Poker
A trainer, not a cheat
The Sidekick teaches your brain in 3-minute bursts, then gets out of the way. No real-time table capture. No live-hand reading. Never will be, RTA gets you banned on every site that matters. Works offline. Your hands never leave your device. Open the network tab. We'll wait.
