Turnstone

The app's poker engine, which answers flop, turn and river spots while you play and says how sure each answer is.

What it means
Turnstone is the engine behind the trainer's postflop grades. It solves turns and rivers exactly while you play. For a flop with no shipped solution it searches the flop and asks a neural network what each hand is worth at the turn.
How it is calculated
The search runs 30 rounds over the flop's betting. At each turn card it asks a network trained on 100,000 exact turn solves for the value of every hand, instead of playing out every turn and river. It covers 13 heads-up spots, after a raise and a call or a 3-bet and a call, at the trainer's own bet sizes.
Worked example
Measured on 2026-10-13 over 575 flops, Turnstone's flop answers gave up about 0.3% of the pot on average against an exact solve, and 0.79% in its worst spot, 3-bet pots at 40 big blinds.
Why it matters
Knowing where an answer came from tells you how far to trust it. A grade from the flop search is marked engine estimate; a turn or river grade is an exact solve.
