Revolutionizing MTTs: The Ultimate ICM Solver Upgrade

The most monumental advancement to MTT study in the history of poker solvers is now here. GTO Wizard is thrilled to announce a revolutionary upgrade: Custom ICM Solving with GTO Wizard AI, which allows you to solve any heads-up postflop situation for any poker tournament format—including KO, Freezeout, PKO, Satellites, and Mystery Bounties. This breakthrough will fundamentally transform how MTTs are studied and shift the meta of poker tournaments!

Why Is This a Game Changer?

Most tournament players study with Chip EV solutions. Chip EV strategies aim to accumulate as many chips as possible, ignoring the value of survival. The Independent Chip ModelICM (Independent Chip Model)
A commonly used acronym for the term Independent Chip Model. ICM is a model that translates the value of a tournament chip to actual cash value, better known as tournament equity. ICM calculations are based on the stacks and payouts of all players remaining in the tournament.
, on the other hand, considers the payout implications of the entire tournament. ICM strategies maximize the actual cash value of your strategy, leading to dramatically different GTO strategies that give you a significant edge in your game.

Traditionally, studying an ICM spot required multiple pieces of software, extensive computing power, and considerable time to solve just one individual spot. This cumbersome process made it challenging to study effectively and efficiently. With our new update, you can solve these spots in mere seconds. This means you can quickly access accurate ICM solutions, study more efficiently, and spend more time working on your strategy, rather than waiting on software.

Game Integrity

With every great technological advancement comes the potential for abuse. Since the release of GTO Wizard AI, we have been very clear about our stance on game integrity and our desire to collaborate with industry leaders to safeguard the future of poker. GTO Wizard is uniquely positioned to combat online cheating as the primary entity investing in AI poker research. On top of our in-house security measures, we have released the Fair Play Check, a tool empowering players to verify if someone solved a board in GTO Wizard within a specific timeframe.

Over the past few months, we have met with every major poker operator and expressed our willingness to work together, using our technology to ensure a safe poker ecosystem. We are glad to share that poker operators, like WPN, have already integrated the Fair Play Check tool into their game integrity protocols. Many other prominent poker sites also use GTO Wizard’s Fair Play Check, though they are unwilling to disclose this publicly. We remain hopeful that their position will change as we believe transparency is essential to building a strong poker ecosystem.

Having proactively offered our technology to poker operators, we recognize that building a mutually beneficial partnership requires effort from both sides. It is essential for poker operators to take an active role in this endeavor. We remain fully available and willing to collaborate with them to eliminate unfair play in online poker.
