This is great content and i will watch this 2 or 3 times. But as a GTo wizard suscriber i think the next step is to have ICM postflop solutions and multiway chipEV and ICM solutions. For exemple 25% left, 20BB and 40BB on a subset of 25 flops with basic RFI spots, SB vs BB spots and 2 or 3 3bet spots would make it so much better because in MTT we never play for chips, even at 100% left the calling ranges are tighter than ChipEV.
It is more imptortant for MTT players than the IA solver. Specially if I can't use the IA solver because i am not elite member even if i pay 80USD per month. I love GTo Wizard and use it every day, but feel quite desapointed i need to pay more for the IA solver and didn' t see any improvment about what really matters in MTTs : ICM posflop solutions. Need to use PIO for this and it could be so much better with GTO wizard. Still you are the best in the market and your videos and articles are amazing.

At 10:28, we show that UTG has 33.6% Trash Hands and LJ has 0%. What actually are these? When you hover over Trash, UTG's range highlights K9s but LJ also has this hand too? I can't see what trash hands they have that we (LJ) don't? Even hands like 98s, 87s and T8s have a pair at least.

I plugged this in and it still highlights K9s but also 77 and under which are still pairs. Maybe i'm misunderstanding! Thanks.

Here we go again. This video is a already a classic for me. You Gto wizard team should sponso MaTT Hunt for the Super high roller circuit, could be fun.

What do the height / area of the colour of each hand in the range represent?

Why is it that when i try and apply these heuristics vs gto trainer mtt at 50bb that it never likes bluffs. I can get perfect score vs trainer by playing check calls and being super passive.

At 0:54 I don't think the ranges you're showing are correct? They're different from what I can pull up from GTOW

[yofoxjoke]

19:13 why hands as low as JTs is highlighted as best hands for IP 3 bettor but hands as high as AJs for OOP 3bet caller is not best hands?

[yofoxjoke]

What do we accomplish to make hands in opponent range indifferent?
