GGPoker Launches ‘Ask Fedor’ Poker Hand Analysis Feature

Published April 29, 2022

Powerful analysis system endorsed by GGPoker’s Fedor Holz, one of the world’s best poker minds

GGPoker today launches its Ask Fedor poker hand analysis feature, which is built into the poker room’s hand history system. 

Created in consultation with Fedor Holz, multiple WSOP bracelet winner and Germany’s most successful poker player, the innovative deep-learning system is designed around the powerful Prometheus AI tool. Upon player request – also known as an ‘Ask’ – the system reviews a Hand History and provides feedback on how the cards were played.

This feedback includes a rating (between one and five) and a recommendation on better choices that could have been made during the hand, which should lead to improved results over the long term.

Players can presently Ask for advice on Texas Hold’em cash game or tournament hands; other game variant hands may be added in the future.

All GGPoker players have been given five free Asks, ready to be used whenever they next log in. To access more Asks, players will need to choose between a number of  Ask Fedor membership packages:

• Ask Fedor Basic membership – 30 Asks per month, VIP games not included, $29.99/month
• Ask Fedor Standard membership – 120 Asks per month, VIP games not included, $99.99/month
• Ask Fedor Premium membership – Unlimited Asks, VIP games included, $199.99/month

VIP games are those cash games with stakes equal to or higher than $25/$50, or tournaments with buy-ins equal to or higher than $5,000.

Each player will automatically receive a 50% discount on their first month’s subscription to whichever Ask Fedor membership package they choose.

“The perfect poker player doesn’t exist, and every one of us is curious about the best way to play a hand,” said Fedor Holz, GGPoker Global Ambassador. “This is why we’ve created Ask Fedor – your hand is analyzed in real time and the advice provided will help bring your game to the next level. It helps bridge the gap between casual players and the professionals, and is only available at GGPoker!”

New GGPoker players are eligible to claim the poker room’s Welcome Bonus, earn even more rewards with the Honeymoon for Newcomers promotion and automatically join GGPoker’s Fish Buffet loyalty program, with regular cash prizes on offer.

Don’t Get Mad, Get Even – Throw Eggs Or Buckets Of Water At Your Opponents

Published June 2, 2022

GGPoker’s newest feature, Splash, gives players a fun way to express their emotions at the table

GGPoker’s Splash feature allows players a novel way to express their emotions after a particularly tough loss at the table; qualifying players can either throw an egg at their opponent, or douse them with a bucket of water!

Splashes are designed to allow players to vent their frustrations in a fun way and take care of tilt by ‘getting one back’ on an opponent that won against the odds. Cover your nemesis’s screen in water or egg, whatever it takes to get some revenge.

The two Splashes currently available can be earned when specific conditions are met in GGpoker games, such as a particularly bad suckout or other unfortunate outcome in a hand. The Splashes can only be used against the opponent involved in the qualifying hand, and not thrown indiscriminately at an innocent party.

Other Splash actions will be added in the coming months.

“It’s almost impossible to take every piece of bad luck on the chin at the table; when your Aces are cracked by 7 2 offsuit, it stings,” said Paul Burke, Head of PR at GGPoker. “Splashes are a fun revenge, allowing you to unleash a bucket of waters or a gooey egg at the villian. You won’t get your chips back, but you could feel a tiny bit better about the situation!”

GGPoker have also introduced Like/Dislike table reactions, which allow players to react to their table mates’ bets with a thumbs up (Like) or a thumbs down (Dislike).
