The SAME advisor tells me to call with hands I don’t open with facing a 3bet.
I did want to use Snowie to deduce on how to construct my preflop ranges; e.g how much does suitedness matter, suited aces vs suited connectors, etc.
But if it’s not consistent how can I trust it?
Quoted from pokersnowie FAQ on their webpage
"PokerSnowie seems to show inconsistent hand ranges – why is that?
In some situations there may be an inconsistency between PokerSnowie's advice and the opponent's hand range. For example, PokerSnowie advises to call a bet on the river, while the opponent's hand range doesn't offer the right odds to call. How can there be such an inconsistency?
First of all it has to be noted, that the evaluation (the move advice) is NOT based on the hand range of the opponent. The evaluation is the output of a neural network and has evolved during training. The neural network has been trained over trillions of hands, against various counter-strategies. Therefore these evaluations are very robust and can be trusted most.
The hand range, however, is a calculation based on the evaluations of the same neural network. All legal hole cards are considered and the evaluations are used to decide which hole cards PokerSnowie would possibly hold in a certain situation.
As a consequence, the evaluation may be different than a conclusion based on the hand range of the opponent.
This, unfortunately, cannot be avoided; the problem would only vanish if the neural net was a perfect calculation of the game (and not an estimation based on pattern recognition).
The hand range can be very sensitive to small changes in a previous round. Two very similar situations on the flop may lead to quite different hand ranges on the river, if a group of hands falls out of the range due to a small EV difference on the flop. Similarly, two slightly different neural nets that play almost identically may have significantly different hand ranges.
Therefore:
a) the right action cannot be concluded from the opponent's hand range
b)the evaluations are robust whereas the hand range is sensitive
c)the hand range should only be used as an indication of which hands are possible holdings"
