This looks really cool, but even as someone who has dabbled a bit in poker I have no idea what I am looking at. Presumably, this is for people who are already advanced to get a little bit better? Otherwise, if you want to level up my poker game I would need a few lower rungs on the ladder.

Would you pay $30/month to level up your game? Because for me this site is premised on the fact that the people willing to pay that already know the basic strat needed to digest this site.

higher stakes players already paying thousands of dollars for software simpler than this.

Thanks for this feedback! We initially thought that experts would be our primary/target audience, but given the reception we're getting from novices, there's clearly value in providing better onboarding for them so that the initial view isn't so overwhelming (although luckily we've seen that even newbies can pick up the charts quickly with a little bit of explanation). Just to share a little background: our initial d…

I think the interface is appropriate as a learning tool for intermediate+ players, who will know right away exactly what they are looking at. Anyone who has used poker educational software should be right at home with your interface. Don't change it!

I expect a round poker table if the software actually plays poker or if it's some kind of hand-commentary replayer. Not for things like this.
