I would love to do solver work but I've heard it takes up a lot of space on the computer. I'm not good with statistics. I am willing to pay whatever if it will help my game.
I am def considered a LAGTAG, but 15% UTG and 20% from the HJ is closer to nit than TAG imo. I open all 3 of those hands in the HJ, usually open JTo UTG, and always open T8s UTG. Those CO and button numbers are closer to correct though.
I always have a powerful computer that runs solvers fast and easy, so I am not really sure what the system requirements are. There is an entire forum for such info. Learning to use a solver is a pain, but it is easy once you get used to it. I have gotten to a point where solvers mostly just confirm stuff I already know. That being said, I have a much less detailed knowledge of solver theory than someone like DonJuan who has to survive in the modern hell that is online LHE where he constantly has to battle regs hu and 3-4 handed.
The solver would help you a ton because it would show you that it never folds KQ on an ace hi flop vs. a HJ range, for example. You would quickly see that a 100% flop cbet strategy wrecks you if you have been folding such hands. You would be especially vulnerable against LAGs to the point that even spewy recreational LAGs are likely sucking lots of EV from you. A solver would help you learn how to properly defend yourself against good TAGs who notice you overfolding, LAGTAGs who love wrecking overly tight players, good LAGs who orgasm when they run into overly tight players, and even the spewiest rec players.
