Squid Game Poker Solver
Solve Squid Game with the squid money in every EV. Set the squids left, what each seat holds and the penalty, and HydraSolver solves the spot the way your table plays it.
How Squid is solved
Your table’s state, your penalty.
- One squid per pot The winner of each pot takes a squid until none are left.
- The penalty When the last squid goes, every seat still on zero pays each holder the penalty per squid held.
- The last squid settles exactly On the last squid the round settles in the solve, so a lone stack collects far more than one of a split field.
- Chops count Any share of any pot counts: a chop squids every sharer.
- Double board On a double board only a scoop — a share of both boards — counts as winning the pot.
- Set it once Game setup → Side games → Configure side game. Pick Squid, then set the squids left, each seat’s count and the penalty.

Questions
Common questions
What is Squid Game in poker?
A side game for cash tables. Each pot won earns a squid. When the last squid is handed out, every player without one pays each squid holder a set amount per squid.
How does Squid change the strategy?
Winning a pot is worth the pot plus the squid. The solve counts that in every EV, so you see how your ranges change with the squids left and who holds them.
Can I set my own penalty?
Yes. Set the penalty per squid, the squids left and each seat’s count.
Does Squid work in tournaments?
No. Side games cannot combine with Tournament Mode. Turning either on clears the other.
Does it run on Mac or Linux?
No. HydraSolver is a Windows desktop app: Windows 11 or Server 2022 and newer, 64-bit. You can rent a Windows server from us and connect by Remote Desktop, or study in the browser with HydraViewer.
