Solver

☆☆

Basic Definition

A solver is software used in poker to calculate optimal strategies and plays. It is primarily used to analyze GTO (Game Theory Optimal) strategies, showing players how they should play in specific situations.

Specific Situation

  • When you have AhKh on the button and the flop is Qs7h2h, using a solver can help you determine the optimal timing and size for your bets.
  • You can use a solver to analyze whether our 9s9c is advantageous against the range of hands when the opponent raises from the big blind, and whether we should fold.

Important Information

  • The solver is a highly advanced tool and may seem difficult for beginners, but understanding the basics can help improve your strategy.
  • The use of solvers is generally prohibited during actual play, and they are mainly suitable for studying and reviewing to learn poker.

Examples of Term Usage

"When I ran my play from yesterday's tournament through the solver, I noticed that my bet sizing on the flop deviated from equilibrium."
