    Truth.

    What actually happened.

    Every move, every decision, every second. The whole match, exact. Ask it anything.

    Perception.

    What they knew when they decided.

    The match through one player's eyes: what they saw, what they knew. Bad call, or good call on bad information? Now you know.

    Possibility.

    What could have happened.

    Stop anywhere. Change one decision. Watch every future it opens, and how likely each one is.

    Fork the
    moment.

    Any moment. One change. Every way it goes.

    The best version of you.

    Not the textbook play. Your play, at its sharpest. Your style, never replaced.

    The best version of your team.

    Every player. Every style. Each one at their best, at once.

    Live now: poker.

    No-limit hold'em. Your hands, your leaks, the EV of every action against the players you face.

      See EV by action

      Every action you had, with its size, how often they take it, and its EV against the players who were there. In big blinds.

      A hand stopped on the flop with pocket fives: every bet size played out against the players at the table, the best worth 6.5 big blinds and the one played 4.6.

      Practice against them

      The players you face, at a table, playing like themselves. Every hand you play there is yours to study. Ask about any of it.

      A TABLE OF MODELLED PLAYERS

    One model. Any game.

    Poker is the first table.

    Study, not assistance.

    Between sessions

    Parallax reads hands that are over. Never one in play.

    Your hands, yours

    Private to your account. Never shared, never sold, gone whenever you ask: hello@deadstar.co.

    Your table, not a textbook

    A solver answers a perfect opponent. Parallax answers the ones you actually play.

    Questions.

    Every answer, on one page.

    What is Parallax?

    A model of how every player in a game actually plays. It shows any moment three ways: what happened, what each player knew when they decided, and what could have happened instead, played out against the players who were really there. Its first game, no-limit hold'em poker, is live.

    Is Parallax only for poker?

    No. Parallax is built to model any game; poker is the first one live.

    How is it different from a poker solver?

    A solver says what perfect, game-theory-optimal play would be against a perfect opponent. Parallax says what would have happened against the players actually at your table, as they really play, so you see which options paid against them.

    Which hand histories can I upload?

    PokerStars, GGPoker and partypoker files, and exports from PokerTracker 4, Hold'em Manager 3 and Hand2Note in PokerStars format: a file, or a zip of a whole folder.

    Which stakes does it support?

    No-limit hold'em cash games from $0.25/$0.50 to $5/$10 big blinds (NL25 to NL1000).

    Can I use it while I play?

    No. Parallax is for study after a session, never for help during a hand being played.

    How do I get in?

    Parallax opens by invitation. Request one below with your email; if you already have a code, open the app.
