Fair play and anti-RTA
Last updated August 2026
Real-time assistance is cheating. It is banned by every serious poker room, and Poker Debrief is deliberately built so it cannot provide it.
What real-time assistance means
Any tool that tells you what to do while a hand is in progress: a solver reading your table, an overlay suggesting a bet size, a bot, or a person feeding you decisions. Using one gets accounts closed and balances confiscated, and it ruins the game for everyone.
What we deliberately do not build
Poker Debrief has no feature that could be used at the table. Specifically, it does not:
- read your screen, your table or any live game state
- connect to a poker client, a HUD or any table-tracking software
- accept a hand in progress, or analyse a hand that has no result
- return an answer fast enough or narrow enough to guide a live decision
- offer an overlay, a desktop client or a browser extension
Why the product works this way
Analyses run on complete hand histories with a known outcome, from a session that has ended. The report is written for study afterwards: it explains, it teaches, and it tells you what to practise. That is a different product from a live assistant, and we intend to keep it that way.
Your responsibility
Check the terms of your poker room before using any third-party tool. Post-session analysis of your own hand histories is permitted almost everywhere, but the rules are yours to follow, and using anything from this product during play breaks both their rules and ours.
