How to stream poker with real-time GTO solves for your audience — safely

Give your viewers what TV poker broadcasts deliver — without the multimillion-dollar production.

Safe streaming setup: a clean gaming PC sends video through an HDMI capture card to a separate streaming PC running MonsterSolver and a 45-90 second render delay, so the audience sees gameplay plus GTO recommendations on a delayed stream.
The two-computer setup: a clean gaming PC → HDMI capture → a streaming PC running MonsterSolver + OBS with a render delay.

TV poker vs. your stream

Big TV poker broadcasts — WSOP, PokerStars Championships, PokerGO — show hole cards and expert analysis. Viewers see breakdowns and solver-style insights. It's educational and entertaining, but it requires dozens of cameras, RFID technology, professional analysts, and huge budgets. These productions only cover the biggest events and use long delays.

With MonsterSolver, any streamer can now deliver the same experience: real-time GTO recommendations on every hand. No massive crew. No huge cost. Just a simple, safe setup.

The golden rule

Never run MonsterSolver on your gaming PC. Poker sites detect solvers instantly and issue permanent bans.

The safe setup: two computers + a delay

  • Gaming PC (completely clean — no solver). Play your normal game — nothing but the poker client runs here.
  • HDMI capture card ($15–$40). Sends video from your gaming PC to a second computer.
  • Streaming PC. Runs MonsterSolver and OBS. Add a 45–90 second render delay to the stream.

Your audience sees the gameplay plus MonsterSolver overlays — Raise, Call and Fold frequencies, plus EV — but delayed. They get the educational “TV experience” without ever seeing your real-time hole cards.

Why the delay is essential

  • Protects you from exploitation or reports.
  • Keeps you fully compliant with poker room rules.
  • Still feels immediate for viewers — exactly like TV delays.
  • Viewers learn without knowing your cards while the hand is live.
