It seemed like there are a lot of similarities but not real sure since I haven't signed up for a membership and have only messed around with the daily freebies.
The other question I have that is it seems like there is no set "solve" or rule for different scenarios. One hand I will have K-9 with no pair and no draw on a rainbow board OOP and it wants me to check call but then the next time I have a spot just like it, I will check call and it tells me I should have folded or check raised. If NL Hold'em is solved then there should be explanations with each answer and it should be consistent. That's the only way to learn because it is impossible to learn every scenario and would be a giant waste of time. I hope I am wrong and will happily sign up ASAP if I am. I know I am ignorant on this subject, so I am open minded. For me, before I can pay for it, I just need to know the Genesis of these solvers and to hear something other "obey the solver because the solver says so".
Thanks!
Hello, solvers emerged with the research of algorithms that are capable of simulating the game of poker and determining the best outcome for each player. It started with research papers and people use derivates of these algorithms to create GTO solvers. Pokersnowie is a bit different than GTO Wizard in terms of the solutions, pokersnowie most likely does not use pure GTO algorithms. As for different scenarios, that is the path to be a great poker player - studying a lot of spots, more importantly, studying the principles rather than exact hands, and eventually, patterns with hand categories on different board types will start to emerge. Poker is indeed a very difficult game to master and we can have endless conversations about poker theory. I highly suggest you
join our Discord(it works just in your browser), where we have a community of many, open-minded players like you, which will happily discuss with you various theory topics. We will be also happy to answer you there various questions about GTO Wizard and provide you guidance on your journey to master poker theory.
