Table Of Contents
GTO Wizard, poker's premier training tool, has just become a whole lot more powerful with the launch of Preflop ICM Solving. The brand-new feature eliminates the need for powerful hardware for analyzing tournament bust-outs; you can even use your mobile phone to analyze these spots.
Available to Ultra subscribers, Preflop ICM Solving enables users to customize stacks, antes, bounties, and payouts. They can rebuild any tournament hand using chip-EV or ICM strategies and solve preflop scenarios with 9 players up to 250 big blinds deep.
Throw into the mix the ability to customize raise sizes, nodelock strategies, and seamlessly transition from preflop to postflop, and you can see why tournament grinders are excited for the new Preflop ICM Solving release.
What Used to Take an Age Now Happens in Seconds
According to the GTO Wizard Blog, solving a single preflop ICM spot used to entail painful data entry and a wait of around 30 minutes if you changed any of the variables. If you changed the stack size, it would take another half hour for the solver to work its magic, severely hampering anyone wanting to study a spot in depth.
The new Preflop ICM Solving feature solves such spots in a matter of seconds, allowing you to input various scenarios with ease and making it a breeze to work through different examples.
High-stakes tournament guru, Samuel Muller, is a big fan of GTO Wizard's new Preflop ICM Solving.
"For me, the biggest thing about this release is efficiency. Until now, studying a specific ICM spot often meant running the preflop sim, waiting for it to solve, and then moving between different tools for the rest of the analysis. Being able to do all of that directly in GTO Wizard is now saving me a lot of time."
What Tournament Formats Does Preflop ICM Solving Work For?
It doesn't matter what tournaments you play; preflop ICM Solving almost certainly works for it. GTO Wizard covers every major tournament format from standard MTTs to satellites, and knockout, progressive knockout, and total knockout; you can even model mystery bounties.
All payout structures are fully customizable, and the feature supports up to nine players with stacks of up to 250 big blinds and field sizes up to 4,096 entrants. Best of all, most spots are solved in one second!
Hand History Upload Integration
GTO Wizard users can now import stacks, antes, and bounties directly from their hand histories, making it easier than ever to solve online spots. Users can simply upload the hand, import the details, set the payouts and remaining players, and then solve the hand in mere seconds.
What Are the Current Limitations of Preflop ICM Solving?
The tech specialists are working around the clock to add even more features to GTO Wizard. Currently, Preflop ICM Solving's preflop trees allow up to three players to reach the flop, which is the same rule as the Multiway Preflop Solving for cash game players.
Scenarios where a fourth player over-calls or over-limps are not yet supported, but GTO Wizard plans to enable those spots as one of the next features.
What Does the Ultra Subscription Cost? Are There Any Special Offers?
A special early-bird price is available until 1:00 p.m. CEST on October 15 for anyone who wants to become an Ultra subscriber. The early bird price is available to monthly and annual subscribers, each offering substantial savings.
