Where to start with solvers

Hi all,
Recently bought a solver and pokersnowie, but not exactly sure where to start with them (especially the solver).
When studying with solvers, do you look at a bunch of different board textures and try to gain broad insights (i.e. Btn vs. BB Txxr, Axx monotone, etc.), or has it been more useful to input specific spots from your sessions? Or both? Or something I'm not thinking of?
Any insights/study tips you've gotten from looking at solvers would be appreciated

What stakes are you playing? live or online?
one way i like to use snowie is by playing a couple of Hands (zoom works well for that) and then reviewing Hands i am not really sure what snowie would do. (using the Scenario builder). and a lot of times that starts a chain reaction when snowie would do something different. then i check what pio or gto+ says, try different ranges for villain to see how things Change and basically try to understand how i should be playing my range here and why.

25NL on Bovada, interested in moving up though. I know it's not necessary or maybe even super efficient in helping with play on Bovada but I'm interested in it.
I play deep stacked live 1/3 games too.
Anyone have a link to that piosolver article where it was like 30 essential flops or something like that

Man, the Piosolver guy/team is talented. They're working this stuff out on their own after being prompted by the thread? Incredible.

A good way to use Snowie is to input your hand history and look through what it calls errors and blunders. Then "copy scenario" and mess around with how the texture of the flop or a players position changes the strategy for the hand. Just playing against snowie has helped me a ton. Another thing I do is take hands from these forums, postulate what I think snowie will say, then build the scenario and see how close I get. Snowie is a pretty great program. I've gotten a lot of value from my subscription. Hope this helps.
