Why Static Preflop Charts Fall Short

Static Chart vs GTO Wizard Solver
Static Preflop Chart
  • Fixed player count
  • One rake assumption
  • No straddle modeling
  • Generic ranges
  • One-time calculation
GTO Wizard Multiway Solver
  • Up to 9 players
  • Custom rake & ante
  • Straddle support
  • Per-seat profiles
  • On-demand re-solve
GTO Wizard replaces one-size-fits-all charts with a fully configurable real-time engine.

Traditional preflop charts rest on a narrow set of assumptions: a fixed number of players, a standard blind structure, and a single rake percentage. In practice, real tables vary widely — a Mississippi straddle, a double straddle, or an ante format can shift the expected value of every hand by several percentage points. GTO Wizard's new multiway preflop solver removes those assumptions entirely. Users input the exact game structure they face, and the solver produces strategies that reflect the table's actual economics rather than a generic template.

Full Customization at Every Seat

Solver Customization Options
1Seat Profiles
Assign maniac, calling station, or loose opener to any seat
2Lock Ranges
Fix specific hand ranges for targeted study
3Stack Depths
Set unique stack size for each player at the table
4Open Sizing
Test different raise sizes and cold-call amounts
53-Bet Ranges
Explore how 3-bet ranges shift with any configuration
Every parameter in the solver can be configured independently per seat.

The solver interface lets players lock specific hand ranges for any seat and apply exploitative profiles — maniac, calling station, loose opener — to model how strategy changes against different opponent types. Because stack sizes can be set independently for each player, the engine accurately captures asymmetric stack dynamics that standard charts cannot represent. Deep-stack cash game players and tournament grinders can both configure the solver to match their exact conditions rather than adapting generic outputs.

Rake, Ante, and Straddle Dynamics

Ante & Straddle Configurations Supported
Ante Types
  • Per-player ante
  • Total ante
  • Big Blind ante
Straddle Types
  • Standard straddle
  • Double straddle
  • Mississippi straddle (any position)
Model any real-world game structure before you sit down.

One of the solver's most distinctive capabilities is precise modeling of how rake and ante structures alter preflop decisions. Users choose from per-player antes, total antes, or Big Blind ante formats, and can add standard, double, or Mississippi straddles from any position. The engine then recalculates the expected value of each action, revealing how a hand that appears clearly profitable under standard assumptions can become marginal or negative when rake reduces the effective pot. This level of detail is invaluable for players who regularly encounter high-rake or ante-heavy games.

Stack Depths and Sizing Flexibility

Stack Depth Impact on Preflop Strategy
Short Stack (<40bb)
  • Push/fold ranges dominate
  • 3-bet sizing shrinks
  • Fewer multi-street plays
  • Tighter cold-call range
  • Premium hands gain more value
Deep Stack (100bb+)
  • Implied odds drive decisions
  • Wider cold-call range
  • Suited connectors increase in value
  • More complex 3-bet/4-bet trees
  • Position becomes critical
Stack depth fundamentally changes which hands and lines are profitable preflop.

Beyond fixed ranges, the solver allows users to test different open sizes, cold-call amounts, and 3-bet ranges in any configuration. It supports small blind completes and a single limper, giving a realistic picture of how pots develop in practice. Adjusting stack depths reveals how a hand's value changes as stacks move from short to deep, enabling "what if" scenario testing that would be impossible to observe in live play. This sandbox capability is particularly useful for studying stack-off spots and squeeze frequencies across multiple stack depths simultaneously.

Two Engine Modes for Every Need

Fast Mode vs Classic Mode
Fast Mode
  • Short lookahead
  • Re-solves more often
  • Ideal for large game trees
  • Quick iteration
  • Best for complex multiway spots
Classic Mode
  • Street-by-street solving
  • Range-locking support
  • Apply exploitative profiles
  • Higher precision
  • Best for exploitative study
Choose your mode based on whether you need speed or precision.

To balance speed and depth, GTO Wizard offers two engine modes. Fast Mode uses a shorter lookahead and re-solves more often, making it ideal for large, complex game trees where quick iteration is essential. Classic Mode solves street-by-street and is better suited for exploitative work, allowing players to lock ranges and apply profiles with greater precision. The dual-mode approach means both casual learners exploring broad strategy questions and serious students working on specific spots can find a workflow that fits their study habits without compromise.
