Here's some pseudocode that finds a solution to every situation in n BB deep NLHE with integer bet sizes:
For every possible river board with every possible range for both yourself and your opponent with every possible pot:stack ratio, try every possible line. Run minimax on that crap to find the best possible line with each hand given your range getting to the river, your opponent's range getting to the river, the board, and pot:stack ratio.
Do the same crap on the turn except if the line reaches a river, just insert the equity of the perfect river line.
Do the same crap on the flop except if the line reaches a turn, just insert the equity of the perfect turn line.
Do the same crap for preflop except if the line reaches a flop, just insert the equity of the perfect flop line.
In some thread somewhere, I actually calculated how many combinations you'd have to go through to do this. It was some massive number and no computer would ever do it that way, but IIRC it was fewer than the number of possible chess board for 100 BB HUNL.
