The video delves into the current state and capabilities of three popular poker solvers: Pio Solver, GTO+, and GTO Wizard, especially focusing on the newly released GTO Wizard AI. The main themes include accuracy, performance, versatility, features, and pricing of these solvers within the context of heads-up post-flop cash game scenarios. The speaker finds that all solvers deliver highly accurate results but differ significantly in speed and usability. GTO Wizard stands out for its pre-solved solutions that deliver rapid results, modern user-friendly interface, and efficient data presentation, although it currently lacks some advanced features like note locking and subtree reports, which are expected to be added later. Pure Solver is praised for its extensive data capabilities but has a cumbersome interface, while GTO+ offers a balance with essential features at a more affordable price. Pricing ranges widely with GTO Wizard offering monthly subscriptions, Pure Solver having a high one-time fee, and GTO+ being the most budget-friendly. The importance of understanding Game Theory Optimal (GTO) strategies rather than merely memorizing outputs is underscored, along with the value of a comprehensive video course aimed at teaching effective use of these tools to enhance poker gameplay.

In this part of the video, the speaker examines the current state of poker solvers and investigates whether the release of the GTO Wizard AI impacts the relevance of existing solvers. They discuss how the best solver depends on individual needs, budget, and stage of learning. The comparison focuses on three popular solvers: Pio Solver, GTO+, and GTO Wizard, specifically the new GTO Wizard AI, all within the context of heads-up post-flop scenarios for cash games.
The primary comparison category is accuracy. The challenge in measuring accuracy objectively lies in the requirement to know the equilibrium strategy beforehand, which isn’t possible. Instead, the speaker aims to compare the results of different solvers by simulating a specific poker scenario (a hijack open and a big blind call on a queen-10-7 rainbow flop).
Findings indicate that Pio Solver and GTO+ produce very similar results initially, showing a small amount of big bets and similar check ranges. In contrast, GTO Wizard initially shows no checking range. After allowing both Pio Solver and GTO+ more time to run, they also exhibit no checking range, aligning with GTO Wizard’s results. Therefore, all solvers show high accuracy and very similar outcomes.

In this segment, the speaker compares the performance and versatility of different solver software. They first discuss the speed, noting that Pure Solver and Sim took around 6 minutes, GTO Plus took six and a half minutes, while GTO Wizard was significantly faster, delivering results in less than 4 seconds due to pre-solved solutions on their server. The versatility of each solver is then examined. Pure Solver allows modification of pre-flop ranges, bet sizes, and includes features like exporting aggregated reports, subtree re-solving, and advanced note locking. GTO Plus also supports pre-flop range and bet size modifications, aggregated reports for the flop, subtrees, and basic note locking. GTO Wizard’s regular version doesn’t permit such modifications but provides quick access to pre-solved solutions and aggregated reports. The advanced GTO Wizard AI allows input of pre-flop ranges and custom bet sizes.

In this segment, the speaker discusses the current features and shortcomings of GTO Wizard and other similar tools. They mention that while GTO Wizard does not currently support subtree reports and note locking, these features are expected to be added in the future. The speaker emphasizes the importance of data presentation and usability, suggesting that the GTO Wizard offers a more modern and user-friendly interface compared to others like Pure Solver and GTO Plus.
They acknowledge that while Pure Solver provides extensive data, its interface and data retrieval process can be cumbersome for new users. In contrast, GTO Wizard offers pre-calculated reports accessible with a single click, making it more efficient and user-friendly for strategic data analysis. The speaker concludes by highlighting that GTO Wizard simplifies the process of accessing organized and ready-to-use data compared to the more complicated steps required by Pure Solver and GTO Plus.

In this part of the video, the presenter discusses various poker solvers focusing on their pricing, features, and which might be the best option for different users. They highlight that GTO Wizard excels in data presentation and offers subscription models at $35.69 and $109 monthly. Pure Solver’s price ranges from $249 up to $1099 for a one-time fee, with additional features in the higher versions. GTO Plus is the most affordable at a $75 one-time fee, providing essential features for beginners. The presenter suggests GTO Wizard AI as the best overall due to its speed and advanced features like customizable pre-flop ranges and optimal bet sizes, despite its lack of note-locking. For those focusing on exploiting specific opponent strategies, Pio Solver is recommended. The emphasis is placed on the importance of how users work with the solver they choose.
