I am experimenting with PIO for the first time and I'm having some trouble understanding the correct strategies PIO is offering.

Here's a simulation I am running in pio, board QsJh2h3h8h we have a button vs BB deepstack where it was checked on the flop. then turn BB bet and button called, then a 4 card flush complete so what is the play and I dont understand what PIO is saying

How much and which hands do you bet? if you have the middling card flushes for example 9 or 10... is it better to check call or to bet 1/3 pot. If you have the Nut flush it says the EV of betting or checking is almost equal... if you have trips do you check call vs button. I am having trouble understanding how to look for these answers in PIO

Just think about it practically and try to attached logic using words to what the sim is suggesting. IP checks back flop as pfr. He should be very ace high heavy. So IP gets to the river with much more Ah combos. That's why it makes sense for oop to check a ton here.

You'll need to watch a few tutorials on how to use Pio or get a Pio coaching from someone proficient.


Generally best to check all boxes here



I'd click Strategy+EV as the default view instead of just Strategy


OOP you very often have the EV of value betting and slowplaying being equal for good hands [If you never slowplay, IP can value bet thinly and bluff wide, increasing slowplay EV. If you slowplay too much, IP can't value bet much and bluffs tight, decreasing slowplay EV. Equilibrium is exactly where slowplay EV = fastplay EV of betting]
