How spots are created
Spots come from the Spot Factory: generate candidates, solve where we can, grade honestly, bank the good ones, and only then feature a daily.
Spot types
Daily mix is not solver-only. The bank holds solver nodes, deterministic concept maths (pot odds, MDF, bluff break-even), real-hand reconstructions, and occasional crushers — with soft weekly targets that still lose to quality.
Community submissions can enter review; they never auto-ship.
Strategy authority
For solver spots, Pokerai is the strategy authority. Frequencies and preferred lines come from the provider — not from an LLM inventing GTO.
We frame those nodes as 6-max chip-EV. Fake ICM, bubble, or PKO claims are stripped or rejected. When we lack a live solve, the trust label says so.
Mixed grading
Answers are preferred, acceptable, or incorrect from the mix — not a single binary button when the strategy is mixed.
Preferred advances your streak and earns full XP; acceptable holds the streak with partial XP. Clear misses still reset the daily streak.
AI as editor, not solver
Language models help with teaching copy and editorial polish. They do not invent solver frequencies or override Pokerai.
Explanations are grounded in the stamped strategy and checked for unsupported claims before approval.
Spot Bank and daily publish
Approved spots sit in a reserve (target ~30). The daily scheduler picks from that bank — it never relaxes the quality bar just to ship something mediocre.
If the reserve is empty, generation can top up under the same threshold. Shipping nothing beats publishing a weak spot.
Validation and review
Automated checks cover card notation, duplicates, action consistency, answer/frequency alignment, format labels, and unsupported wording.
Ambiguous strategy or incomplete action goes to human review — we don’t guess.
