New Blocker Scores & Drill Management and ICM Solutions

Wizards, today we have another significant update for you!

We’re releasing hundreds of new ICM solutions! Check out the new mid-stage MTT spots to get an edge on the competition. We’ve also added many new aggregate reports.

This update introduced a new Drill Management system to help you build the ultimate training regiment!

We’ve also added features to measure card removal effects, including new Value/Trash removal scores and a Blockers Tab to see how frequencies change. These improvements can be found in the upgraded Summary Tab of the Solution browser, which now shows and sorts all hands within your range!

We added an ETA to the Analyzer so you can see when your uploaded hands will be ready! Lastly, we polished the UI and fixed most of your reported bugs.

New Solutions

We’ve added hundreds of new solutions for different tournament phases to help you crush multi-table tournaments!

Previously, we had solutions covering the final table to the last two tables. In this update, we added solutions covering earlier tournament phases, including the final 3 tables, and spots covering 25%, 37%, and 50% of the field remaining. The payout structure is based on 200 player MTTs with 15% of the field paid.

Aggregate Reports

Aggregate reports compile data from all flops to help you find global trends and build heuristics! Watch our latest guide on how to study with them efficiently.

We’ve upgraded our infrastructure to keep adding reports faster! So expect many more aggregate reports soon, starting with the latest 100BB cash solutions.

New Features

New Drill Management System

Training Drills are very handy and used to practice against GTO to improve your game. Instead of every time setting your Training session manually, you can save your Drills (custom settings), so the next time you can access them with 1-click. Previously, there was no way to organize your drills, so we’ve introduced a new Drills page to help you organize how you train!

You can access this page from the Practice Menu dropdown at the top of the page, from the GTO Wizard’s dashboard, or by selecting “Manage Drills” in the Trainer.

The new Drills page allows you to organize your drills using tags. You can filter, sort, edit, rearrange, and view the performance stats of your drills!

Filter for specific drills by applying tag filters using the “Filter Tags” dropdown above the table.

The new Value Removal score can be found in the Summary tab. This feature replaces the previous “blocker score”.

Value Removal is scored from 0 to 10. This indicates how much value your hand blocks in your opponent’s range due to card removal. “Value” is measured as the EV your hand removes from the top half (50%+ equity) of your opponent’s range.

A low score (0) means your hand does not block value in your opponent’s range. This is desirable when value betting, as you’re more likely to get action if you block less value.

A high score (10) means your hand blocks a lot of value in your opponent’s range. This is desirable when bluffing or bluff-catching, as you’re more likely to get a fold or call a bluff when you block value.

The new Trash removal score can be found in the Summary tab.

Trash Removal is scored from 0 to 10. This indicates how much trash you block in your opponent’s range due to card removal. Trash is defined as hands in your opponent’s range that have less than 35% equity.

A low score (0) means you do not block trash in your opponent’s range. This is desirable when bluffing or bluff-catching, as you’re more likely to get a fold or call a bluff when you unblock weak hands.

A high score (10) means you block a lot of trash in your opponent’s range. This is desirable when value betting, as you’re more likely to get action if you block weak hands.

Blockers Tab

We’ve added a new Blocker’s tab to see how card removal affects the frequency of your actions. This is a great way to find what blockers are relevant to your range.

You can sort this table by cards or any header to find cards that have the biggest impact on your frequencies.

The card removal is based on your opponent’s holdings. Go into your opponent’s range to see how your blockers affect their frequencies, and vice-versa.

Analyzer ETA

Now you can see how long it will take for the Analyzer to finish analyzing your uploaded hand histories! No more wondering when hands would be available. Now you can plan your study sessions more efficiently.

After uploading your session, go to your Uploads page. You can see the ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) in the status.

As a reminder, you don’t have to keep this page open. Close the browser, take a walk, come back whenever you’re ready to study! Refresh or reopen the Uploads page to update the status.

Bugfixes and user interface improvements

In our previous update, we added a feature to change solutions without losing the board state. However, some Wizards wanted the solution to reset. So we’ve added a button on the solution selector so you can toggle if the board state is reset after choosing a new solution.

We’ve fixed most reported bugs and performed other minor user interface improvements to deliver the ultimate training experience.

If you spot any bugs or have questions or suggestions, contact us on our Discord channel!
