Can anyone point me to a tool or guide on how to create range files for monkersolver? Thanks in advance for the help.

Any way to pause a sim without having it revert back to an unsolved state?

Just paused one with 5 I/N and came back to restart it, now it's at 0 I/N again.

Once you have locked in your range, you do not have to leave the syntax in the filter field.

Regardless of when you perform the node lock, you will have to let the solver run for a reasonable amount of iterations for your solution to converge. You can monitor this by observing whether or not the solution is changing significantly.

Broadly speaking ~30-40 I/N for preflop, and ~20-30 I/N for postflop.

When you press enter in MonkerViewer, the strategy switches between "sampling" and "mixing". What it shows you depends on the underlying mixed strategies. For example, if a hand is folding 50% to an open, and 3-betting 50% to an open, then it should alternate between folding and re-raising when you hit enter. That way, on average, it is recommending you the correct frequency with a mixed hand.

Support isn't active in this thread. Support via email is inconsistent. I would recommend using a descriptive title for your email, that may help in getting a response.

In the 'Threads' field, you need to click on the pause icon to pause and resume your solving. If you press play, your sim will restart.

Does anyone know how to fix this gibberish?

I have 11gb RAM available on my laptop, but Monker is saying in the abstraction that I’m using 2.9/3.5 gb. I saw an earlier post from someone who said they fixed this by resetting their java settings, but when I tried to do this java said I only had 32k megabytes available. Any idea what’s going on here/how to fix it?

On Windows, you need to edit a file called "MonkerSolver.l4j.ini" in your Monkersolver directory. The '-Xmx' value determines the amount of RAM addressible by Monkersolver. Save the file, and restart Monkersolver for the changes to apply. In the abstraction tab, you should now see the number to the right of the slash increased.

I have a bunch of ranges in GTO+, is there anyway I can make them viewable in monkerview? I tried copying the newdefs3.txt file into the area where it scans for ranges and it didn't find it.

Hi

I would like to do some preflop sims for app games but i'm unsure what the best input is in terms of rake. For example the rake is 5% capped at 3bb but i receive 70% rake back... how will this effect my input into the rake section?

Thanks in advance

Hello guys, recently I've bought some Monker ranges and I want to use Monkerviewer to View them.

The file that contains my ranges is in the same directory as Monkerviewer is:
C:\Program Files\MonkerViewer\ranges\Hold'em\6-way\Zoom50_100bb

but when I log in the server to view them,I go to the local tab and nothing shows.


If I put all the .rng files into the '6-way' folder directly, I got this and ranges in black.


I've upgraded my Java as it was mentioned earlier but the problem remains!
Any advice on how to solve this???

probably these have been asked already, but i couldn't find the answers..

1)how much ram will i need to reasonably caclculate 6max plo preflop ranges? for example, for holdem and simple preflop, i'd say 128gb would be sufficient to calculate with a very high precision preflop without coldcalls other than from the button or with all coldcalls with a decent precison

2)how many licenses does it come with? can i use it both on my laptop and a server?

3)i've heard monker is not supported any more(and i haven't got any response from their support email) - is that true?

4)i also heard there was some major bug a year or a couple years ago that made all 3+ players calcs prior to that useless. any comments on that?

Hi, I got 2 questions are puzzling me, hope someone could save me:
1. does any one know about the Monker .rng file name rule? How I can match file name to the positions and actions?


2. How could I know the exact percentage of raising or calling for the mix preflop range strategy?

Thanks

In that case, set rake to 1.5%, and the rake cap to 0.9bb.

Remove the underscore from "Zoom50_100bb".

1) It makes a very large difference in tree size if you are calculating with our without cold-calls. For very high precision, and with all cold-calls, you are looking at over 512 GB RAM. If you are willing to sacrifice cold-calls, the tree can be solved under 256 GB RAM.

2) Yes.

3) Support is sporadic, but I wouldn't call it abandoned. The last update to the software was October 12, 2019.

4) There was a bug that was addressed on the 28th of September, 2019, that affected some game trees with 4 or more players.

Sir, could you elaborate on said bug. are preflop trees compromised?

Is there a way to set Monkersolver so that it only creates options that would be chosen at 25% or higher?

By that I mean often times Monker picks 10-15 hands that are only played <10% for a certain action and it would be great if they could get merged for simplification, even if it costs a marginal amount of ev.

I dont think, that somebody will reply you here from Monker. The guys in the monker discord group told to someone, that 2weeks reply time via email is standard...

So I wish you luck with that!

Hi, can someone explain to me why the EV of these hands are higher than the EV of the players in the pot?



For instance, some hands have nearly 60k EV (mchip). Yet BTN and BB EV is roughly 7.4k EV (mchip).

Very confused. I inputted the stacks as 1 chip per 1 small blind. Solved for postflop.

Thanks!

I can't tell you more than what I wrote. I wasn't able to detect the bug myself. Considering when the bug was discovered, I imagine few people were aware of it.

I don't think that's feasible for the MonkerSolver algorithm.

I'm not sure there is enough information from the screenshot you shared. If the EV of folding from the player you are showing is negative, that means that there has already been some betting that has occurred, and now the pot is larger than the pot at the start of the street. In that case it would be normal to see individual hands with higher EVs than the cumulative EV from every hand on that street.

^ ah that makes a lot of sense that after EV would be higher since more bets are being put in post street.

But I am confused about this. Why is BTN EV negative of -144 mchip and BB EV is positive 144mchip.

Because you are playing a zero-sum game. Somebody's wins are another one's losses.

I meant why would BTN EV be negative and BB EV positive. BTN is forced to put in less (as small blind) and has position. Shouldn't BB be the one with negative EV mchip here?

You are correct in general that in a well designed heads up tree the BTN should not have negative EV. It's quite possible here that something is wrong in the tree causing the BTN to lose massive amounts of EV.

What's up with the equity graph btn?? Is it not reliable or am I missing something? Here is the spot multiway utg open utg1 call bb sqz kk45:ddxx Flop AA3dd bb cbet small utg jams utg1 folds, now monker says to call which seems odd getting 2 to 1(the ev is also off if you Manuel do ev cal with its presumed equity v pot size, it gives -5bb to call but if your 2to1 and have 37% it's obv a +ev call after u bet). When we click equity graph btn to see what it feels it equity is with kk54dd v the shoving range it says 37%. Thats obv not correct by just eyeballing the shoving range as it's mostly just Ax and 33, when I put monkers complete jamming range v kk54 into odds orcale I get 23.5% which feels more accurate.

What am I missing here? Thanks for any insight

Is it just because multiway somehow fudges it or this one sim itself is wonky,
When I test it in hu spot the equity graph has been accurate

Just talking about monker viewer here ... how do you get the local tab to show up... I am trying to open some rng files using the viewer and have been unsuccessful. Here is path to range folder that I created .....

C:\Program Files\MonkerViewer\Ranges\Hold'em\6-way\100bb (\ 0.0.0.0.rng)

solved this shortly after posting -- missed the edit !

How are you inputting Monker's range into PPTOO? Are you manually entering the range? If so, your weighting may be different than that of Monker.
