Updates

What's new.

Changes to Blindspot Poker, grouped by day. The newest are at the top.

Pot-Limit Omaha, phone tables, a career leaderboard and weekly challenges

  • Pot-Limit Omaha: pick Omaha when you set up a coached game. Four cards each, your hand uses exactly two of them with three from the board, and every bet is capped at the pot. Open →
  • The coach knows Omaha: it ranks your four cards among all 270,725 starting hands, says whether your hand is the best possible one, and warns about the two-card traps (one spade with four on the board is not a flush). Open →
  • Omaha tables in multiplayer too: choose the game when you open a table. Coaches, hosts, spectators and stream overlays all work. Open →
  • A new lesson, Omaha for hold'em players: the two-plus-three rule, starting hands, pot-limit betting, the nuts, why pairs shrink, wraps and blockers. Open →
  • Four Omaha tools: starting hand checker, Omaha equity calculator, pot-limit calculator and hand reader. Open →
  • Omaha drills and three Omaha blindspots: hands with a useless card, second-best straights and flushes, and calling bets with one pair. Open →
  • An Omaha daily hand, next to the hold'em one. Open →
  • Your stats, blindspots and progress keep hold'em and Omaha apart, with a switch once you've played Omaha. Open →
  • Blindspot Blackjack is open at blindspotblackjack.com, with a coach on every move. Sign in with the same Google account and your profile comes with you. Open →
  • OBS dock for streamers: a panel inside OBS where you can start or join a table and play with Fold, Call, Bet and Break buttons while the game shows on your overlay, plus a Stream settings tab. It can chime when it's your turn. Get your dock link on the Streamer page. Open →
  • Sound effects at the table: dealing, chips, checks, folds, your turn and wins. Turn them off with Sound in the table menu.
  • Stream overlays play the table sounds too, in step with the overlay. Streamers and hosts can switch them off in their controls. Open →
  • Click a player's name at the table to open their public profile in a new tab (only for players whose profile is public).
  • Copy profile link: a button under your profile link on the account page. Open →
  • Longer names like Zachary or Solaris fit on the table name tags, and the table stays sharp on large and high-resolution screens.
  • Take a break together: anyone at the table can vote for one from the Table menu. Once at least a third of the players vote, the table stops after the hand and deals again when everyone presses Ready.
  • A little more time between hands to read the result and your review before the next deal.
  • Leave table now stands you up and shows the seats, so you can move seats or watch without going back to the lobby.
  • Stream controls at your table: switch your overlay between the game, your session stats, Starting soon and Be right back, add a caption, and pick which numbers viewers see. Open →
  • Overlays fade and slide between scenes instead of cutting, and show a big On a break sign over the table during a break.
  • Quick reactions pop up in a speech bubble over the player who sent them.
  • Hosts and streamers get their controls in a column of their own on the left, and the table screen uses the full width of your browser.
  • Fixed: ticking Show my career on my public profile didn't stay ticked. It also tells you now if your profile is private, since the career only shows on a public profile. Open →
  • Tables fit a phone screen with no scrolling. In portrait the table is drawn tall so names and cards are bigger, and the coach, hand review, stats and history sit in tabs above your buttons.
  • Raising on a phone takes two taps: Raise opens a tray with presets and a slider, then you confirm.
  • Turn your phone sideways and your buttons move beside the table.
  • Career tables have their own bots: eight regulars who each play a different strong style. The table only says whether bots are on.
  • Career leaderboard, if you choose to join it: biggest bankrolls now, best careers ever and most hands. Open →
  • Weekly career challenges for everyone on the leaderboard. Biggest climb, Big pot week and Grinder week take turns, starting each Monday. Open →
  • Nine career milestones to earn, from Doubled up to Comeback. They show on your career and your public profile.
  • Play careers with friends: a link-only table with no bots, an Invite friends button, and friends can start a career right at the table. Open →
  • Four new lessons on using the site: the table screen, the coach, the tracker and your blindspots. Open →
  • Names other players see are checked for abusive words and names that pretend to be staff. Staff can take a name off the leaderboard.
  • Stream overlay: a new Full table layout draws the table from your seat, with the tracker and the hand history beside it, so you can stream without showing your browser. It shows only what you can see. Open →
  • Stream overlay: each move you pick (fold, check, call, bet, raise, all-in) now shows in big colored letters, and viewers see when it's your turn to decide. Open →
  • Turning off Allow coaches when you start a table now turns off the built-in coach too, not just invited coaches. The table shows No coaches at the top. Open →
  • A new background of slowly drifting card suits on every page.
  • Fixed: a table with bots off crashed until someone sat down.

Multiplayer, career mode and a lot more to practice with

  • Multiplayer tables. Start one and send friends the link, or join an open table from the lobby. Bots can fill empty seats. Open →
  • Career mode: a $1,000 play-money bankroll that carries between career tables. There are no free rebuys, and losing it all ends the career. Open →
  • At multiplayer tables other than practice, running out of chips means you are out of that table.
  • Coached games against bots, with a coach that gives one call and its reason, bet sizes in round numbers, and bots that act at a human pace. Open →
  • Bring a real coach: invite someone who sees only your cards and can suggest plays.
  • Hosted tables and streaming: hosts can commentate with every card showing on a delayed broadcast, and streamers get an overlay for OBS with one link for both. Open →
  • Daily hand: one new puzzle a day, 123 in all so far, with no race to be first. Open →
  • Hand review after every hand, replays you can save and share, and a progress page that tracks your blindspots over time. Open →
  • Blindspot drills, an equity calculator and a starting hands quiz, alongside the pot odds, outs and side pot calculators. Open →
  • New lessons on luck and swings, bluffing and reading the table, plus a Table rules page. Open →

  • Guests can watch tables without signing in.
  • The site works on phones, with a menu and the coach tip next to your buttons.
  • Fixed: pot math now returns uncalled bets, splits pots in whole chips and labels side pots.

Blindspot Poker opens

  • The first version: a landing page, a live table you can watch, and short lessons with a glossary for poker terms. Open →
