Online poker operators continue working to bring in newer players to their platforms. Education and poker training remains a major part of those efforts.
GGPoker recently launched another of its own efforts at helping players improve through the “Ask Fedor” poker hand analysis feature. The training option was built into the poker room’s hand history system.
Created in consultation with poker star Fedor Holz, the innovative deep-learning system is designed around the powerful Prometheus artificial intelligence (AI) tool.

The system reviews a hand history and provides feedback on how a player played his cards.
“The perfect poker player doesn’t exist, and every one of us is curious about the best way to play a hand,” Holz, a GGPoker ambassador, said in a news release.
“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.”
Strategy advice from a GGPoker pro
Adding education tools for players remains a trend in online poker. The thinking is that the better a player can get quickly, the more fun that player will have.
Winning at least to some degree with a higher level of skill keeps players at the tables. Some advice from Holz may be well worth seeking out.
The two-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner has $32.7 million in live tournament winnings. He’s also Germany’s most successful poker player.
Prometheus is a leading AI bot training and education technology. With the Ask Fedor feature, players get their own virtual training session with Holz. The service offers feedback that comes with a rating between one and five.
The rating includes a recommendation on better choices that were possible during the hand. These suggestions hopefully lead to improved results over the long term.
