Solver
求解器
A poker solver is software that uses iterative algorithms to approximate Nash Equilibrium solutions for specific poker situations. Popular solvers include PioSolver, GTO+, and MonkerSolver. They take inputs like ranges, board cards, bet sizes, and stack depth to output optimal strategies including mixed frequencies. Solvers have changed poker study, but their outputs require interpretation and simplification for practical use.
Example
You input BTN vs BB ranges on a K♠ 7♦ 2♣ flop into PioSolver and it outputs the optimal c-bet frequency and sizing for every hand in your range.
