POKERMIND NEWSLETTER
september 12, 2026
Introducing PokerMind begins with the problem I wanted to solve.
For years, I’ve watched poker players run into the same problem. They have a specific question about a hand, a decision, or something happening in their game, and they get a generic answer.
Be more aggressive. Apply more pressure. Widen your range. Defend more. Bluff more.But against whom? At what stakes? With what stack sizes? What action led to the decision? Do we have reliable information about the opponent? What has that player actually been doing?
Those aren’t minor details. They’re part of the decision.
That’s the problem I wanted PokerMind to address.
INTRODUCING POKERMIND - WHAT IS IT?
PokerMind is a player-driven poker development system built specifically for live No-Limit Hold’em cash-game players.
It begins with information about you and your game—your experience, the games and stakes you play, the areas you want to develop, your current results, and your goals.
But that’s only the beginning.
As you use PokerMind, it develops additional context through the hands you review, sessions you record, Scenario Drills you complete, questions you ask, observations you provide, and conversations you have with PokerMind Coach.
Relevant information can then be retained, connected, and brought back into the conversation when it applies to something you’re working through later.
The result is something fundamentally different from a library of poker information or a system built around predetermined answers.
It’s PokerMind developing around the player who’s actually using it.
TAKE A COMPLETE LOOK INSIDE POKERMIND
Rather than continue telling you what PokerMind does, I want to show you.
I created a complete orientation that takes you inside PokerMind: from onboarding and your personalized development plan to Scenario Drills, Hand Reviews, session recording, Progress, the PokerRailbird Library, and, most importantly, Coach.
This isn’t a promotional demo built from mockups or selected screenshots.
You’re looking at PokerMind itself and seeing how it actually works.
A PERSONAL NOTE
PokerMind has taken a tremendous amount of work to build, test, question, change, and test again.
But throughout that process, one thing hasn’t changed: I wanted to build something I would actually use as a poker player.
I didn’t want another resource telling players what they’re “supposed” to do. I wanted something that would help them work through why a decision makes sense, what information matters, what the mathematics says, and how the other pieces of the situation may affect that decision.
That’s also why PokerMind is built around the same philosophy that has guided PokerRailbird:
Tools, Not Rules.
PokerMind won’t play the hand for you. It won’t make the final decision for you, unless you ask it to. By that, I mean if you ask it for it’s suggeted action, it will give you “I would call,fold, raise” etc. Otherwise, it analyzes and gives you the data to reach the decision.
What it will do is give you a place to bring your game, your questions, your observations, your decisions, and your experiences, and work through them.
I’m looking forward to finally putting PokerMind in the hands of poker players on October 6.
Until then, take a look at the orientation video. You’ll see exactly what we’ve built and how it works.
