I'm sorry if I was unclear. My answer was that you should use the GTO solver, and not the max exploit tool. In the case of a GTO solution, when there is a mix between two actions, the choice of the max exploit tool for one of the two actions is basically just a random selection. Please see below for a more elaborate explanation.

The problem here is that the max exploit tool does not really give a superior strategy as compared to the one from the GTO solver. The GTO solver will give 3 possible types of outcomes per hand. The first is 100% bet. The second is 100% check. And the third is a mix of the two. Now, when there is a mix in a fully converged solution, the EV for both actions is actually the same, and hero is indifferent between the two. However, in practice, when using the solver, the solution will not fully have converged yet, and there will be a tiny (tiny, tiny, tiny) difference between the EV for the two lines. However, this difference is basically just a coincidence. It could easily have been a higher EV for the other action.
Now, when you use the max exploit tool, it will pick the action with the highest EV and perform it 100% of the time. However, the choice of action is pretty much just random. The fact that the action has a higher EV is a complete coincidence. In reality there's no difference between the two actions, and you're just looking at static. If there's a mix between two hands, in the case that you describe, you can just pick either action, given that hero is indifferent between the two choices.
Using the max exploit tool however, will not give you a superior solution. The solution may be better in that particular configuration of the solution, however, if you were to apply this max exploit solution to a different stage of the solver, then it may well perform worse. It only performs better against the tiny imperfections of that particular configuration.
