Thank you!

by far the best content I have seen in months and it is free! I think it is the first time I have seen a video of someone teaching us to learn instead of simply teaching us. thanks for the video, hope you will keep on making them!

Amazing video! I never saw the utility of solvers looking at people just run singe solutions and take the output at face value so I never bothered using them. This single tutorial changed my view completely.

This how to video on using solvers is incredibly useful and amazing detail is given...there cannot be a better instructional video available...thank you again Mike!

I subbed after the first two gto+ videos. Finished the rest of series, and watched this one to see if I wanted to download the spreadsheet. looks like a winner (late to the party).

This is simply amazing a true treasure thank you so much for this video it will help me a lot in the future. I normally just checked optimal strategy where I deviated and what I could do better I never did the comparison like here this is way better like going from 0 to heaven :)

Hello, Michael! Great video :) NOW I understand the utility of solvers. Is there somewhere where people pool together databases of solves?

@futureinsights1511

Watch later videos, you can create your own database of solves, very easy.

Great stuff. I really how you analyze on a macro level and use the node lock to apply to your current game. I am going to watch the rest of your vids and then head over to your website. Have you done anything on any other games?

Really good work, helps a lot! I just downloaded this spreadsheet but i can't seem to find anywhere EQ% and EQR. Equity and EV I can input myself but nowhere does it say for the other 2. Do you calculate that somehow in Excel or can it be found in GTO+ ? Thanks!

@SolverSchool

4 жыл бұрын

Hi Radan - I thought I put the formulas in the spreadsheet to calculate EV % and EQR, but I may not have. Yes, those 2 metrics aren’t natively in GTO+ so I calculate them. Good news is that they are easy to calculate. EV % is simply a measure of the portion of the pot you win via a solve. So for example, if a solver output has you winning 3 BB and the pot is 5 BB, the EV % will be 60%. It’s a way to normalize the portion of the pot you will win to allow you to compare across various pot sizes. EQR is a measure of how efficiently you realize your equity. It’s calculated by dividing the EV % by the Equity. So in the example above where your EV % is 60% but your Equity is 50%, your EQR would be 1.2 or 120%. Values greater than 1 (or 100%) mean that you earn a greater portion of the pot than your equity would suggest.

Thank you Mr. Lukich for this video, which I found very useful. I had been struggling to find ways to structure solver learning, particularly involving note-taking which I can review on later occasions to consolidate what I have found. I have however found it very difficult to extrapolate this method to the Turn and River with the game-tree branching into different cards. Do you possibly have any recommendations on how to manage this? Christopher

@SolverSchool

Ай бұрын

Great question. Turns and rivers are a little trickier. As you brought up, the variety of cards makes it challenging. I would recommend getting familiar with turn/river reports, where you can see at a high level the frequencies on the next street across all cards. It's a nice view that lets you see the different types of cards and how strategic actions vary across them. The other thing I'd recommend is grouping cards based on their impact to the board. I generally think of it in the following groups: bricks (no change in the nuts), overcards, straight completing cards, flush completing cards, board pairing cards, etc. By grouping them like this, you can simplify your strategy somewhat into groups of cards where you'll take similar action on the next streets. Hope this helps!

Do you run MDA to get closer to your opponents percived strategy or is it just what you think from experience?

@SolverSchool

2 жыл бұрын

You can do both! MDA is great at large scale to understand more about where equilibrium strategies lie. But it can also be used to calibrate against an assumed strategy, test counters vs your own strategies, etc. This is all applicable for understanding theory and building strategies. If you get your hands on large databases or sets of hand histories, you can also use MDA to build practical strategies against specific player types.

At 21:58, I don't understand what you mean when you say you are locking your strategy to see how your opponent can maximally exploit your strategy. The only node that is locked is "1" which is before you make any decisions at all isnt it? I'm confused on what is being locked here. How can you be exploited before you make a decision? Or am I understanding this wrong? TIA

@Masoch1st

11 ай бұрын

I assume what is being locked was you removing some of the KQo combos (without the Kh) and such that you did before? So those only continue to exist within your checking range right? ANd that's what changes your EV and villain's strategy? Sorry for all the questions lately. I just want to understand what's going on here, and I'm not sure how to replicate what you are doing by "going back" and resolving to counter your own exploits.

@SolverSchool

11 ай бұрын

@@Masoch1st no worries on the questions! On this particular iteration, I'm locking my own strategy which is node 1. And what I'm studying is the equilibrium response the solver outputs to my node-locked strategy. This is important because I can see how this updated equilibrium strategy for my opponent at node 2 changes after I lock my strategy at node 1. Because the solver is looking to maximize EV for both players and my strategy at 1 is not equilibrium, the resulting output will give the ideal strategy for the IP player to play in response to my strategy. It's a way in which I can then understand the possible exploits against any strategy I want to implement.

Hi everyone, does anyone know how to know the equity realization percentage of my range vs villain’s range? Thank you.

Some good points but you have made a significant logical error. The fact you're initial strategy (in solve 1) has a higher EV than the GTO solution for both does not mean that your strategy is better than GTO for playing against your opponent's strategy per solve 1 necessarily. It may well be but what it also might well be is just that your opponent is deviating from GTO more than you are in solve 1. To work out whether your strategy is better or worse than the non-exploitative GTO play you have to lock in both strategies and see.

@SolverSchool

I’m not sure if it came across that way but I never meant to imply that if the EV of my initial strategy is higher than the equilibrium strategy, it must perform better than the equilibrium one would against my opponent. I did say that if my strategy has a worse EV, I can immediately identify a leak where I can move towards equilibrium to improve my EV. The point, however, is to take an iterative approach to identify areas in which we can improve our construction splits. We won’t ever be able to perfectly execute an equilibrium strategy, so this is about using the tools to build implementable strategies.
