Squid Solver

Squid Solver for Poker Side Games

StandupSolver is a desktop squid solver for poker players who need to convert standup, squid, progressive, and bounty side-game states into practical EV and ante adjustments.

What a squid solver calculates

In a squid or standup poker side game, the current hand can change who is exposed to a penalty, who has already escaped, and how much value is at stake. A squid solver calculates that side-game equity instead of forcing you to estimate it manually.

StandupSolver outputs loser probability, penalty equity, perceived ante, average ante pressure, bounty equity, and heads-up ante adjustments depending on the format you are studying.

Formats covered by StandupSolver

Traditional standup

Track who has a squid, identify who can still lose, and calculate the effective ante pressure in the current spot.

Progressive standup

Model multi-squid states, configurable values, caps, first-hand bonuses, and progressive penalty schedules.

Bounty games

Calculate streak-holder bounty equity for three-in-a-row and four-in-a-row payout formats.

Heads-up matrix

Compare the row player's ante adjustment against each opponent so the output is easier to use in study.

SquidSolver alternative

If you are searching for SquidSolver, you are already in the right category. StandupSolver is built for the same broad problem: turning squid game poker and standup side-game states into numbers you can actually use.

The difference is positioning and workflow: StandupSolver is a lower-priced one-time purchase that includes traditional, progressive, bounty, win-% scaling, and heads-up ante matrix workflows.
