Superior to any other product of its kind on the market, Poker Academy adjusts to each individual player using advanced AI. This means staying power. Poker Academy's AI adds to the long-term playability of the game so users won't get bored by figuring out simple easy-to-beat computer opponents. This also means Poker Academy will be the most popular game in its class because it truly helps people become better players by teaching them how to bluff, semi-bluff, and use math and odds to WIN.

Poker Academy takes advantage of the fact that most of us learn best by doing. With sophisticated computer opponents, you will be able to play thousands of hands to improve your Texas Hold’em skills.

There are other places you can play poker, but Poker Academy is your best choice for learning. Sitting down at a real money poker table, be it at a casino, card room, or online, provides a good learning experience but can be very costly. And for beginners just starting out, other players may not be forthcoming with advice that will help you beat them in the long run.

When you play online against other people on a play money site you often find that your opponents are not playing their best game. They realize it is not actual money and do not worry about losing virtual dollars. They very rarely fold, instead gambling on hitting their long shot draws. Playing against these types of opponents can actually hurt your poker game when you decide to make the switch to real money -- beating someone who doesn’t care about losing is much different than players trying their hardest to win.
Poker Academy doesn’t share these shortcomings. You don’t have to perfect your game while risking money at a casino. And the computer opponents are sophisticated sparring partners. They are not going to take it easy on you because it is not real money. What’s more they will let you look at their cards, change stakes, shuffle up the tables, play with a full table, short-handed, or heads up and are always at your beck and call on your home computer or laptop on the road. All without complaining or giving anything but their best. If you can get to the point where you can consistently beat the hardest opponents Poker Academy has to offer, you will be well prepared to take on the larger poker world.
