A Real Edge Over SquidSolver
StandupSolver lets you move beyond equal-win assumptions by scaling the streak holder's win % in bounty spots. That means you can pseudo emulate a tougher player pressing an edge and see how the effective ante shifts before you plug the spot into broader study.
Professional-grade calculations for traditional, progressive, and bounty game formats.
Instantly see how your equity changes as the game state updates. No waiting, no refreshing.
Classic standup format where one player loses and pays everyone. Toggle squid status with one click.
Advanced format with scaling penalties. Support for linear and multiplier-based squid values.
Win 3 hands in a row and collect from the table. Track streak states and see exactly how much equity is at stake.
Adjust the streak holder above the default win rate to pseudo emulate player skill edge and study how bounty pressure changes the spot.
See your ante adjustment against each specific opponent. Color-coded for quick reference.
Quick presets for popular formats: 6handed + 8buttons, 7handed + 9buttons, 8handed + 10buttons with low and high BB options.
Native Windows and macOS application. Fast, offline-capable, and always ready when you need it.
Your squid equity affects every hand you play. Here's why it matters.
Players without squids risk paying the penalty. This changes their expected value on every hand, not just when they lose.
The perceived ante tells you how much "extra" you're effectively paying per hand. A +2bb perceived ante means you should play as if the ante is 2bb higher.
Input these adjustments into your preflop solver (SimplePreflop, RocketSolver, etc.) to get optimal ranges for the current squid state.
No subscriptions. No hidden fees. Pay once, use forever.

No. StandupSolver is a one-time purchase. You pay once and own the software forever, including all future updates.
Traditional: Classic standup where one player loses and pays everyone. Simple toggle between "has squid" and "no squid".
Progressive: Players accumulate multiple squids with scaling penalties. Supports linear values or multipliers (e.g., [1,1,2,2,3,3,4] pattern).
Bounty: Win 3 hands in a row and collect a bounty (e.g., 10bb) from every other player. Win 4 in a row for an even bigger payout. The solver calculates your effective ante based on the current streak state.
The app requires internet for initial activation and periodic validation. Once activated, you can use it offline for up to 7 days before needing to reconnect.
StandupSolver is an independently built tool created because we believe every poker player should have access to standup equity calculations without having to pay $2,000. We developed our own software from scratch to calculate perceived antes and penalty equity affordably, and we also added bounty-mode win % scaling so you can pseudo emulate one player having an edge instead of assuming everyone wins at the same rate.
