Knowing GTO isn't the same as executing it.
You've studied the ranges. You know you should bluff 40% of the time, value-bet 60%, or mix between two sizes. But in real play, how do you actually pick the right action at the right frequency — without pattern bias, tilt, or "feel"?
And even if you're executing well, how do you know when to stop? Fatigue doesn't announce itself — but we can.
What GrindGuard actually does
GTO RNG
A user-triggered poker RNG that helps you execute mixed strategies — bet vs. check, bluff vs. give up, small vs. large sizing — based on the frequencies you define. No more guessing, no more bias.
Session discipline
Structured session timers, break prompts, GrindGuard enforces the routine you intended to follow.
Fatigue detection
Optional cognitive checks when fatigue thresholds are hit. Know when you're still sharp — and when it's time to stop before your edge erodes.
What GrindGuard is
- A user triggered poker RNG for executing mixed strategies
- An off table discipline and fatigue management tool
- A way to enforce your pre planned session rules
- Site friendly by design — no data read, no screen capture, no automation
What GrindGuard is NOT
- Not RTA — no hand info, no reads, no recommendations
- Not a HUD
- Not a solver
- Not connected to any poker site
- Not automation or botting
The GTO RNG
GrindGuard's RNG is built for real poker execution — not solver porn. Here's how it works:
The Roll
You trigger the roll with a hotkey. Too much? the RNG can be triggered automatically. At the start of each decision point, or at pre-defined intervals.
Optional integration with discipline tools
Combine the RNG with session timers, break reminders, and fatigue checks. Use one or use all — GrindGuard adapts to how you play.
Think of it like a RNG you'd use to simulate spots — but built for live decision-making, available instantly with a hotkey.
Detect fatigue before it destroys your execution.
Mental fatigue is invisible while you're in it — but it quietly erodes decision quality, timing, and discipline. GrindGuard's Fatigue Tracker turns that invisible decline into an objective signal you can't rationalise away.
Baseline calibration
When you first use GrindGuard, you complete a short baseline test while fresh. This establishes your normal reaction speed and accuracy — not a generic population average.
- Takes under 3 minutes
- Performed when you're rested
- Used only as a personal reference point
This baseline becomes the anchor for all future fatigue detection.
Session aware tracking
Fatigue is contextual — GrindGuard understands that. It continuously tracks:
- Session duration
- Cumulative daily load
- Break timing and spacing
- Recent play patterns
Over time, it personalises fatigue expectations based on how you respond to long sessions — not how someone else does.
The result: smarter, individualised thresholds instead of fixed timers.
Periodic performance checks
Prove you're still sharp — don't guess. At key points (long sessions, delayed breaks, heavy volume), GrindGuard prompts a short cognitive check designed to detect early performance drift.
These checks are:
- Fast and non-intrusive
- Unrelated to poker strategy
- Focused on reaction, consistency, and accuracy
You're not being tested to "pass" — you're measuring change relative to your own baseline.
Objective recommendations
Remove emotion from stop decisions. When performance drops meaningfully relative to your baseline, GrindGuard gives a clear recommendation:
No tilt. No bargaining. No "one more orbit." Just an objective signal based on your data.
Gets smarter over time
The more you use it, the better it gets. GrindGuard learns how fatigue shows up for you:
- How quickly performance drops
- How effective breaks are
- Which session lengths are sustainable
This allows future recommendations to become more accurate and less conservative — protecting EV without unnecessarily cutting volume.
GrindGuard's fatigue tracking is off-table, strategy-agnostic, and does not analyse gameplay or hands. It measures cognitive performance only.
