The Custom Drills Feature in Lucid Poker

Quick Answer

Custom Drills let you build a targeted practice session around any specific spot type, position, stack depth, and board texture. It is a Pro-only feature available from the home screen.

How It Works

Custom Drills give you control over what you practice. Instead of working through a random mix of spots, you define the exact scenario: game type, stack depth, pot type, your position, your opponent's position, and the types of boards you want to see. Lucid then serves hands that match your criteria and gives you instant GTO feedback on every decision.

The feature is designed for players who know where their leaks are and want to put in focused reps. If you struggle in 3-bet pots out of position, or on paired boards, or against specific villain positions, Custom Drills let you isolate that exact situation and drill it until the right play becomes automatic.

Setting Up a Custom Drill

Here is how to configure and launch a custom drill from scratch:

1. 1
   Tap the Postflop button on the home screen

   From the Lucid home screen, tap Post Flop. This opens the drill configuration page.
2. 2
   Choose your pack (game type)

   Select the sim pack that matches the game you want to study. Options include cash game and MTT packs. Packs are labeled to show coverage: preflop only, all flops, or a subset of flops. Some packs shown are internal and can be ignored.
3. 3
   Select your stack depth

   Choose the stack size in big blinds that matches the scenario you want to practice. Deeper stacks are better for studying spots with more streets of play ahead.
4. 4
   Choose when the hand starts

   Select Pre Flop to begin from the start of the hand, or Post Flop to jump straight to the first postflop decision.
5. 5
   Select the pot type

   Choose from: Any, Custom, Limped Pot, ISO Pot, Single Raised Pot, 3-Bet Pot, or 4-Bet Pot. Pick the pot type that matches the situation you want to study.
6. 6
   Set your position and your opponent's position

   Choose which seat you are playing from and which seat your opponent is in. These two selections determine the exact matchup you will drill.
7. 7
   Choose when the hand ends

   Select First Action to stop after a single decision, Street End to play out the full street, or Hand End to play the hand to completion.
8. 8
   Apply any advanced filters (optional)

   Use the right-side panel to filter by preflop hand class or board texture. See the details below for a full breakdown of these options.
9. 9
   Start or save your drill

   Tap Start Drill to begin immediately. If you want to return to this configuration later, tap Save Drill, give it a name, and it will appear in your saved configs.

Advanced Filters

Two optional filter panels on the right side of the configuration screen let you go deeper. Neither is required, but both are useful when targeting a specific leak.

Preflop Hand Filter

Filter by hand class so every drill hand matches a specific holding type. Examples: big pairs (aces through tens), suited connectors, small pocket pairs. Deselect all hands first, then select only the classes you want.

Flop Filter

Control the exact types of boards you see. Options include:

• Card ranks: Specify exact cards (e.g., J72) or a range of ranks for the top, middle, and bottom card. Use J+ to mean any card jack or above.
• Connectedness: Filter by the gap between the top and middle card, and the gap between the middle and bottom card.
• Pairedness: Choose to include or exclude unpaired, paired, or trips boards.
• Suitedness: Choose to include or exclude rainbow, two-tone, or monotone boards.

After adjusting these options, tap Update to confirm. Lucid will show how many qualifying flops exist across your selections before you start.

Saving Drill Configurations

Any drill configuration can be saved and reused. Tap Save Drill before starting, give it a name, and it will appear in your saved configs list. This is useful when you have a regular study routine built around specific spots.

Common Questions

I do not see the Custom Drills configuration options

Custom Drills require an active Pro subscription. If you are on a free account, you will have limited access to postflop drills with no custom configuration. Start a free trial to unlock the full feature.

What does "ISO Pot" mean in the pot type selector?

An ISO pot (isolation pot) is a hand where one player limped and another player raised to isolate them. It produces a different range dynamic than a standard single raised pot.

Some packs show unusual names or labels

The pack selector includes some internal Lucid packs used for development. These can be ignored. Look for the packs labeled with recognizable game types (cash, MTT) and stack depths.

Can I drill a specific hand combination, not just a hand class?

The preflop hand filter works at the hand class level (e.g., suited connectors, big pairs). It does not support filtering to a single exact holding like AhKd. For that level of specificity, use the Solver Library to navigate directly to a node.

Next Steps

Once you have completed a custom drill session:

• Review your results in Progress Tracking to see how your accuracy trended across the session
• Use Explore This Spot on any hand where you are unsure why the solver preferred a different line
• Save the drill config if you plan to return to the same spot type in future sessions
• Add a related spot type to a Study Plan to build a structured practice sequence around this area of your game
