The Live Read Challenge

Official rules

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A purchase does not improve your chances of winning.

1. Sponsor

The 7-Day Live Read Challenge (the "Challenge") is sponsored by TNP Digital Ventures LLC, a Virginia limited liability company that operates Poker Logic Lab ("Sponsor"). Contact: support@pokerlogiclab.com.

2. Eligibility

Open to legal residents of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia who are 18 or older at the time of entry. Employees of Sponsor and their immediate families are not eligible. Void where prohibited.

3. Challenge period

The Challenge runs from Monday, October 19, 2026 at 7:00pm ET until Monday, October 26, 2026 at 7:00pm ET. A new hand is posted each day at 7:00pm ET at pokerlogiclab.com/challenge, and answers for that hand are accepted for 24 hours, until the next hand is posted. Sponsor's server clock is the official clock.

4. How to enter

Go to pokerlogiclab.com/challenge, choose call or fold for the day's hand, enter your guess of your equity against the opponent's range, and submit with your email address and a leaderboard name. Entry is free. You do not need an account, a subscription, or to follow any social media account. One entry per person: one email address per person, one answer per day, and answers are final once submitted. Entries made with multiple email addresses, scripts or other automated means will be disqualified. Leaderboard names must not be offensive or impersonate anyone; Sponsor may remove or change a name that breaks this rule.

5. Scoring

Each correct decision earns 1 point. Day 7 earns 2 points. The correct decision for each hand is the one with the higher expected value against the range Sponsor models for that opponent, as calculated by the Poker Logic Lab equity engine. The modeled range, the equity, and the price are published when each day closes. Sponsor's determination of the correct answers is final.

6. Tie-breakers

Ties are broken by the lowest total equity error: the sum, across all seven days, of the difference between your equity guess and the true equity, in percentage points. A day you did not answer counts as an error of 100. Any remaining tie goes to the entrant who submitted their first answer earliest.

7. Prizes

First place: 12 months of Poker Logic Lab unlimited access (approximate retail value $49). Second through fifth place: 1 month of Poker Logic Lab unlimited access (approximate retail value $7.99 each). Every eligible entrant who answers all seven days: two free chapters of Playing Online Texas Hold'em, delivered by email. Total approximate retail value of the ranked prizes: $80.96. Access prizes are applied to the winner's Poker Logic Lab account for the email address used to enter, start when applied, are not transferable, and have no cash value. Odds of winning depend on the number of entrants and their scores. This is a game of skill; no element of chance decides the winners except as stated in rule 6.

8. Winners

Final standings are posted at pokerlogiclab.com/challenge when the Challenge ends. Winners are notified by email within 3 days and must reply within 7 days to claim their prize, or the prize goes to the next eligible entrant. By accepting a prize, a winner agrees that Sponsor may post their leaderboard name and result.

9. Your information

Your email address is used to run the Challenge, notify winners, and send you Poker Logic Lab emails, which you can unsubscribe from at any time. It is never shown publicly. See our privacy policy.

10. General

Poker Logic Lab is an educational training product. No money is wagered in the Challenge and no gambling takes place. Sponsor may cancel, change or suspend the Challenge if it cannot run as planned because of fraud, technical failure or any cause beyond its control, and may disqualify anyone who tampers with the entry process.
