Is it possible to pay using neteller?

pretty cool that doug gave you a shout out, he used the program whilst preparing between sessions

Hi,
basic question that may be irrelevant from someone who hasn't used any solvers or trainers yet,
only thing i've used is preflop academy for MTTs:
can one easily do something like set stacks to 30bb and manually input certain/custom preflop ranges that one has from elsewhere to study a 3bet pot situation? Or would i first have to get pio or jesolver or something and do that there?

And assuming this is possible, would it technically be an at least slightly incorrect/inaccurate sim due to not inputting the preflop strategies of the players who folded (i.e. the distribution of the unknown cards in the deck)?

Thanks for sharing! Yeah, he's mentioned it in quite a few interviews which is super cool of him.
We've been buddies for a while, but he didn't even know I made Lucid when he started using it 😂
I couldn't be more thrilled for him. For as hard as he worked and good as he was at HUNL over his career I'm happy he got this opportunity to shine in the big spotlight.


To create a new flop situation with custom ranges, sizes, etc. you would buy PioSolver and run the sims on your own. Then you could add those newly created sims to Lucid to train on (or browse through easily).
Lucid Pro also come with sims already built in. And you can fully customize turn and river sizes. But flops are locked in (again, you could create your own new sims for this with PioSolver).
If you're asking about creating preflop sims, same answer but you'd need a preflop solver (the EDGE version of PioSolver can do preflop solves). You can also use PioSolver preflop sims with Lucid.

Of course. But generally the effect is small. And you're already dealing with at least slightly incorrect/inaccurate sims. Especially for preflop. And ESPECIALLY for MTT's. The question is are the results close enough that you can learn and apply the correct concepts.

Hi,

I'm not familiar with sims or solvers, so I'm starting from a super low level of knowledge about this type of software.

I like to play 9-handed hold em. Can I use the software for that? On the website it says the cloud sims are only available for HU and Spin-n-go's.

Thanks.

Hi, can I pay via Paypal?

With Lucid you can use PioSolver sims on your local machine, or you can use the "cloud sims" (with Pro version).
If you buy PioSolver you can solve whatever spots you want for any Hold'em game, and then use those in Lucid.

For cloud sims it's currently HUSNG and Spins, but at this exact moment I'm running 100bb cash ring game sims. The first batch of them should be up in the next 2-3 days. Over the next month nearly all of the most common ring game spots will be available. After that it will be different effective stacks, then HU cash, then MTTs, and so on.


Of course. I'll send you a PM with details.

Great, ty!

Hi, trying out the software for the first time and running into a couple of problems.

I am only interested in using local sims. However my sims are all with startingstack 100 and varying SPR. This means a big blind won't be a round number of chips, and it looks like I can't use decimals when I set up local sims. This makes it visually very unatractive as well as inaccurate. Also the bet buttons don't show up correctly whenever I try and select a different sizing, only showing two check buttons (see screenshot below). Any fixes for this? Possible to just play in chips instead of BBs?

Hey,

Lucid expects that you have different folders for different sim scenarios. Generally that each scenario has same stacks, pot, and bet/raise sizes with different boards -- like if you ran a PioSolver script.
Small variations can be fine, but some issues might come up (like trying to create a custom drill that starts on a specific node that exists in some sims but not in others).
When you say you have 100b starting stacks with varying SPR it sounds like you're lumping very different spots (like 3bet and SRP in same folder, or very different 3bet sizes, etc) into the same folder -- which won't really work for Lucid and I think even outside of Lucid isn't good practice.

About decimals, when you set up a sim you get two numbers questions:
"How many chips equals 1bb?"
You can't have decimals, because PioSolver doesn't allow decimals. If you have a 100bb sim, BTN vs BB single raised 2.5x, and in the sim "Effective stacks = 975" and "Starting Pot = 55" then 10 chips = 1bb and so on.
You probably answered this question wrong, which is why you're getting those weird results.
And if you have very different sims where you used different chips = 1bb then you can't really answer this one right. Although this isn't a huge problem, you can just go to Settings and uncheck the [ ] Convert chips to BB (which answers one of your questions).

For the "How many BB did the hand start with preflop", this actually should allow decimals. I'll fix that. But it won't cause any display issues -- it's just there so you can filter and search for your sims easily. Rounding to the nearest number will work fine for now.

If you're still having issues with this, shoot me a private message, I'm happy to chat on Discord/Skype and I'm sure we can get it working well for you in just a couple of minutes.

Hey

i have ran a script in pio and created a drill, but im getting more turn sizes than i have allowed. I want to just use the solved ones, how do i do that? I set up a drill before and it was fine. Not sure what ive done to change it

Easy. Just select one or both of these options when you create a new drill:

perfect! Not sure how i missed that

I didn't make myself very clear, I have all scripted trees in different folders. Not converting to big blind fixed it, thanks.

New question, is it possible to play a mix of IP and OOP in the same drill? I have it set to 'any', but it appears that you still play either IP or OOP for as long as you do the drill.

Huh, looks like I made a mistake with 'Any'.
If you have "hands per board" (just below the START button) set to >1, it will keep you in the same position each time for that same board. Good catch. I'll fix that.

It should still swap you out randomly between IP/OOP for each different board, however.

Yeah I played a drill for a while yesterday and played a bunch of boards (3 hands per board) and was IP only. Could have been variance Will set hands per board to 1, thanks.

Any updates on GTO+ compatibility?

Nothing yet. Still wrapping up HH analysis features

Hey SiQ, I tried Lucid for free and enjoyed it. My only hesitancy was that I own GTO+, which has a feature where you can play against any of your solutions. How does Lucid differentiate in that respect? Obviously, Lucid has a library of solutions itself, so there's the extra hassle of solving a bunch of sims, but is that it?

The best part is that using lucid, you can use diff turn and river sizes in the trainer than what was originally solved for. In gto+, you can't change those sizes.

True. So the value is really coming from all different sizes being solved OTT and OTR?

PS This isn't a negative review, as I enjoyed using Lucid. I'm just trying to find the most 'bang for my buck' and thus asking what Lucid can do that's most valuable over something like GTO+.

Partially, you can also open the sim in pio from lucid and do all the nodelocking etc that you want. This is if you already own pio of course. I think gto+ is a great value, but I hate the interface and the trainer. I feel like I'm using an easter egg.

But you can't really compare lucid to gto+. They do different things. GTO+ is a solver, where Lucid is more of a front end of a solver.

I own GTO+, and I know that these are two different apps, I'm just comparing certain aspects of both because they intersect.

I love Lucid as it is far and away the best trainer in my opinion. However, if I had one suggestion it would be to improve the browser.

Most of the time in order to try and figure out why solver is doing what it is doing I have to open PIO. I like how you have what certain hand classes are doing, but I feel like you could add more here. I would definitely pay more per month for the simplicity of having that within the browser. I don't know if that is possible or how hard it would be, but just thought I would throw that out there as a suggestion.

I don't like GTO Wizard mainly because of their solutions (Although I know they are improving them I just would prefer to use my own sims), but they do have a better analysis section which is definitely worth something. I particularly like the equity buckets as right now no other solver/viewer I know has that.
