Felt Shark Start learning for free
An underwater scene. A school-bus made of fish carries four people and four sea creatures along a lit road, driven by a shark in a driver’s jacket. The road forks: one way runs under an arch into a bright poker room, the other into a darker cave.

    Your dad, grandma, co-worker — anyone who's never played poker before.

    When: Level 0 only

  3. Tiger, the Felt Shark coach

    What it is:
    Your personal poker coach, guiding you as you learn and answering your questions along the way.
    Who it's for:

  4. FEATURE 04

    SharkBait

    Top 10 Leaks / SharkBait

    What it is:
    Ten common poker mistakes, taught one at a time (worst first), so you know what to look for in your own game.
    Who it's for:
    Players who don't know which mistakes they're making, where to start fixing them, or how those mistakes may be affecting their game.
    SharkBait:
    Watches your play for mistakes it can recognize and points them out when they happen.

    When: Levels 1–2 teach the first three of the Top 10 Leaks.

  5. FEATURE 05

    SharkSense

    SharkSense

    What it is:
    A visual guide showing whether your poker decision is a clear fold, a clear bet/raise, or a judgment call.
    How it works:
    Level 1 starts with clear bet-or-fold decisions. The judgment zone (we call it "The Murk") grows through Level 5 as decisions become more complex. Then it gradually shrinks through Level 10 as you learn what tips the decision one way or the other. It never disappears completely.
    Who it's for:
    Players who want to understand whether their decisions make sense according to their coach.

    Play It Out:

    After you fold, you can choose to play out the rest of the hand to see what might have happened.

    When: Starts at Level 1.
