A Real Edge Over SquidSolver

Scale win percentages to model one player having an edge

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.

Everything You Need to Dominate Standup Games

Professional-grade calculations for traditional, progressive, and bounty game formats.

Real-Time Calculations

Instantly see how your equity changes as the game state updates. No waiting, no refreshing.

Traditional Mode

Classic standup format where one player loses and pays everyone. Toggle squid status with one click.

Progressive Mode

Advanced format with scaling penalties. Support for linear and multiplier-based squid values.

Bounty Game Mode

Win 3 hands in a row and collect from the table. Track streak states and see exactly how much equity is at stake.

Win % Scaling

Adjust the streak holder above the default win rate to pseudo emulate player skill edge and study how bounty pressure changes the spot.

Heads-Up Matrix

See your ante adjustment against each specific opponent. Color-coded for quick reference.

Built-in Presets

Quick presets for popular formats: 6handed + 8buttons, 7handed + 9buttons, 8handed + 10buttons with low and high BB options.

Desktop App

Native Windows and macOS application. Fast, offline-capable, and always ready when you need it.

How Perceived Ante Works

Your squid equity affects every hand you play. Here's why it matters.

1

Squid Status Changes Your EV

Players without squids risk paying the penalty. This changes their expected value on every hand, not just when they lose.

2

Perceived Ante Captures This

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.

3

Adjust Your Preflop Strategy

Input these adjustments into your preflop solver (SimplePreflop, RocketSolver, etc.) to get optimal ranges for the current squid state.

Example: 8-handed, 6bb penalty

All players 0 squids: +6.86bb effective ante each
6 with squids, you and 1 other without: +27.43bb effective ante
Total of all equities: Always 0 (zero-sum)

Frequently Asked Questions

What platforms does StandupSolver support?

StandupSolver is available for Windows (10/11) and macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon). The app is a native desktop application for optimal performance.

How does the license work?

After purchase, you'll receive a license key via email. Enter this key in the app to activate. Each license allows activation on 1 device. You can deactivate and reactivate on a different computer if needed.

Is there a subscription?

No. StandupSolver is a one-time purchase. You pay once and own the software forever, including all future updates.

What's the difference between the three game modes?

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.

Do I need internet access to use the app?

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.

How is this different from SquidSolver?

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.
