Short-stack trainer alternatives
Push Fold Trainer is an alternative to each of the tools below for short-stack tournament play: solved push/fold ranges from 4bb to 30bb with ICM and exploit practice, and free chip-EV ranges with no account. Each page compares one tool with it tier by tier, says what that tool does better, and when switching would be a mistake.
We make one of the options, so read these knowing that. The trainers are also ranked against each other on the trainer roundup, which sets out the criteria it used before it ranks anything. Each page shows the date its prices and features were last checked.
Push/fold lookups
A range fast, usually on a phone.
ICM calculators and solvers
Solve a spot or review your own hands.
ICMIZER 3 alternative
Move if you wanted the drilling and found it a tier up, or if you want to be trained against real opponents rather than equilibrium ones. Stay if hand-history review is your study method.
$17.99/mo
HoldemResources Calculator alternative
Move, or add this alongside it, if you have plenty of solved spots and too little practice on them. Stay if solving your own exact spots is how you study.
$16.66/mo
Full GTO suites
Preflop and postflop in one subscription.
GTO Wizard alternative
Move if short-stack play is the leak and the postflop tree is going unused. Stay if you study the whole game - and consider running a cheap push/fold tool alongside it rather than switching.
$49/mo
DTO Poker alternative
Move if you specifically wanted short-stack reps and are getting flops instead. Stay if you want a broad, mobile-first MTT trainer, which is what it is very good at being.
