GTO Wizard Becomes Even More Powerful; 3-Way Postflop Spots Now Solvable
Table Of Contents
GTO Wizard has released its biggest-ever update, making the poker training tool more powerful than it has ever been. Most solvers are limited to solving heads-up poker hands, which is all well and good, but what if you play lower-stakes or in loose games where there are regularly three players to the flop? What do you do then? Purchasing an elite subscription to GTO Wizard is the answer.
The GTO Wizards who work tirelessly behind the scenes have made it possible to study and dissect any 3-way postflop spot; yes, these scenarios are fully customizable. You can solve custom ranges, arbitrary bet sizes, mixed stacks, and choose any rake structure you want. Best of all? The solutions GTO Wizard provides are more accurate than ever before, yet still return lightning-fast.
As the GTO Wizard blog explains, multway solving is inherently challenging because the addition of a third player can increase the computational complexity by a factor of 1,000 or more. Thanks to recent innovations and technological breakthroughs, GTO Wizard can now instantly return highly accurate solutions for multway spots where previously it could take weeks and require terabytes of RAM.
Introducing Nodelocking 2.0
The new update also comes with what GTO Wizard is calling Nodelocking 2.0. For the uninitiated, nodelocking is a GTO Wizard feature that allows players to manually input strategies at specific decision points (nodes) in a hand. Instead of the solver calculating the optimal play at that node, nodelocking forces it to use the strategy you have defined. This is particularly useful for studying how players might deviate from GTO (such as making a pot-sized bet on a three-flush flop) and how to exploit those deviations.
Nodelocking 2.0 includes a new and improved interface that is as intuitive as possible. Although the processes behind nodelocking are extremely complicated, the new interface makes it super simple to model exploits and opponents' deviations from GTO more accurately.
As GTO Wizard's nodelocking 2.0 blog post states, " While studying GTO strategies is necessary to understand the underlying mechanics of optimal poker, poker is ultimately played by humans—and learning how to maximally exploit humans is the key to maximizing your EV."
More Than 50,000 New ICM Final Table Solutions
Previously, GTO Wizard users had 553 ICM Final Table sims, but after this massive upgrade, they now have more than 53,000. Premium MTT subscribers will now be better prepared for real tournament final table spots than ever before.
The new solutions model the final table spots of 200-player classic tournaments, which tend to have less top-heavy prize structures, resulting in unique strategic considerations. Those of you who specialize in small to medium-sized field tournaments now have thousands of ways to study realistic final table situations, including how ranges change when facing different three-bet sizes when play is three-to-eight-handed.
