About PrimeDope
PrimeDope has published independent poker tools and analysis since 2013. The site started as a variance calculator and grew into a free poker toolkit cited by Wikipedia, PokerNews, and GTO Wizard.
What Makes PrimeDope Different
Every claim is backed by math. The rake calculator computes exact costs from 19 networks and 1,546 stake/player combinations. Room rankings are based on measured rake, not paid placement.
Wikipedia cites the tools. So do PokerNews, GTO Wizard, and poker training platforms worldwide. The variance calculator and the rest of the suite were built for our own games first, and they remain free.
The rake database goes back to 2013. It tracks pricing changes across every major poker network, a historical depth that shows trends no snapshot comparison can capture.
Zero paid placements. Room rankings on this site reflect actual rake cost and player value. No room pays for a higher ranking. Affiliate relationships exist (that is how the site earns revenue), but they do not influence editorial content or ranking methodology.
The Tools
PrimeDope's calculator suite includes variance analysis, bankroll simulation, Kelly Criterion sizing, rake comparison, and ICM deal equity. Every tool uses published formulas and produces results you can verify.
