What is the Study Engine?
The Study Engine is the GTO Poker Edge solver-inspired practice tool. You build a spot, review the recommended action mix, study the reasoning, then save important spots for repeat practice.
How do I build a solver spot?
Open the Solver page, choose the spot type, positions, stack depth, hand, and board or street details where available. The controls stay open so you can explore different tournament situations before revealing the study output.
Can public visitors use the solver?
Public visitors can build and explore solver spots, but they cannot reveal the full study output. Sign in for a free account to get 5 Study Engine reveals per day.
What counts as a solver reveal?
Revealing the study table, action matrix, action mix, and notes for one setup counts as one Study Engine reveal. Changing the setup requires another reveal.
How many free solver reveals do signed-in users get?
Free signed-in users get 5 Study Engine reveals per day after the 3-day full-access account trial ends. During the trial, the website unlocks full study access so new players can evaluate the complete product.
What does Edge+ unlock in the solver?
Edge+ members get unlimited solver study reveals and advanced range matrix profiles: LAG (Loose-Aggressive), TAG (Tight-Aggressive), ABC (Tight-Passive / Straightforward), and Node-Lock (Maximally Exploitative).
What are range matrix strategy profiles?
Strategy profiles let you study the same poker spot through different lenses. GTO (Balanced Baseline) keeps the output closest to the core balanced matrix, while Exploitative (Adjust to Player Leaks) shows practical adjustments for common player-pool mistakes.
What do LAG, TAG, ABC, and Node-Lock mean?
LAG means Loose-Aggressive, a wider pressure style. TAG means Tight-Aggressive, a more selective but still aggressive style. ABC means Tight-Passive / Straightforward, a simple value-forward style. Node-Lock means Maximally Exploitative, where the matrix adjusts hard against a specific opponent tendency.
Which strategy profiles require Edge+?
GTO (Balanced Baseline) and Exploitative (Adjust to Player Leaks) are available in the free study path. Edge+ unlocks LAG (Loose-Aggressive), TAG (Tight-Aggressive), ABC (Tight-Passive / Straightforward), and Node-Lock (Maximally Exploitative).
How does Node-Lock work?
Node-Lock lets you choose an opponent tendency, such as a player overfolding blinds, calling too wide, 3-betting too much, under-bluffing, over-bluffing, or folding too often to continuation bets. The Study Engine then shifts the matrix toward a maximally exploitative response.
Is the output a real-time poker assistant?
No. The solver tool is for study away from the table. It is designed for review, training, and concept building, not prohibited real-time assistance during live hands.
How should I use the action mix?
Treat the action mix as a study signal. Look at which actions appear, how often they appear, and why the hand prefers value, pressure, protection, pot control, or folding in that setup.
What should I do after revealing a study spot?
Read the suggested line, compare it against what you would have done, then save the spot if it exposes a leak or feels worth repeating later.
How do I save a solver spot?
Sign in, build the spot, reveal or review it, then use Save to Queue. Saved spots are added to your Review Queue for Training Lab practice.
Where do saved solver spots go?
Saved spots go to your account-backed Review Queue. The Training Lab can use those spots as repeat reps so you can revisit decisions that need more work.
Why does the solver ask me to sign in?
Sign-in is needed for daily reveal limits, membership access, and saving spots to your Review Queue. It also keeps study progress attached to your account.
