Progressive Standup Poker Solver

What makes progressive standup different

Traditional standup usually comes down to one final player without a squid. Progressive formats can have multiple squids per player, a fixed number of buttons, first-hand bonuses, caps, and custom value schedules.

That means a simple final payout table is not enough. The useful study number is the ante pressure created by the current state of the game.

What StandupSolver models

• Player count and total squid count.
• Current squid distribution by player.
• Linear values and multiplier-based penalty schedules.
• First-hand squids, caps, and common preset structures.
• Penalty equity, average ante pressure, and heads-up ante adjustments.

Why use a solver instead of a spreadsheet

A spreadsheet can show final payouts for one fixed setup, but progressive standup study usually needs repeated current-state updates. As squids move around the table, the EV overlay and ante pressure move with them.

StandupSolver keeps that workflow inside the desktop app so you can update the state quickly, compare seats, and move from payout math to poker study decisions.
