Great stuff ! During the UK lockdown I produced a very similar product over a 111 flop subset using Michael Acevedo's 6 max ranges for all 3 bet pot scenarios. I then classed them into Flop types and aggregated betting/checking/folding frequencies based on flop type, whether the PFA or PFC, in a hyperlinked OneNote file - so useful for studying tricky hands after a session. Just waiting for Black Friday to buy a faster processor and some more memory so I can do all the SRP solutions. Its a very long process so from experience I don't underestimate the work that has gone into yours. Best of luck with it I hope you get many customers!
btw I used GTO+ as my budget doesn't run to PIO lol. Great product though - especially to have the option to then play against the solution in GTO+ using the exact same database and starting ranges. Probably on a par or slightly even better feature than using Snowie training if I'm honest.
Thanks! Sounds like a cool project that you’ve been working on too. I use GTO+ more often than Pio. It’s a great piece of software. I tend to only use Pio with the scripting functionality and for data aggregation.
Another benefit of this is helping really understand the concept of playing range v range. Did you discover similar situational patterns of play that emerge - learning those must be very helpful. I'm looking forward to diving in and figuring it out for my game.
Thanks for all the nice comments. I'm really glad that my work resonated with you. Sub to the channel for some updates coming. I'm working on a project that I hope to launch in the next few months!
Hello, Very good video. I made the same Excel table, but for each formation I run several simulations, for example if I study the IP player, I will run a normal simulation, another or IP c- Bet 1/3 100%, c- Bet 1/2 100 % ... , and another or he check 100%, or he not check raise … and I compare the EVs Δ (delta) to see what type of flop can adopt a simplify strategy sorry for my english it's not my native language
Thanks for the kind words. I've been pulled in a bunch of different directions over the past 6-months with work, family, and my own game, so I haven't had the time to focus on creating additional poker content. However, I am working on a larger poker-related project that I expect to be able to share more about towards the end of the summer.
Hi, good work. Since turn and river play is more important than flop play for various reasons, I was wondering if any turn and river actions/equities are present? without it, there so much you can do with only flop play. Also, how would I know which hands to call/raise/fold?
Thanks @TheFirstCedi. There are no turn/river actions and equities in this workbook. There's already an incredible amount of data here. Adding turns/rivers to this one would complicate it significantly. The next project I'm starting on is developing an analysis devoted to turn play. I'm not sure I agree that turn and river play is more important than flop play. Yes, the individual actions can sway EV more significantly. But we face flop decisions far more often. Mistakes also amplify throughout the hand so a poor flop strategy can magnify in EV on turns and rivers. Finally, this workbook is focused on aggregate data analysis where the frequencies can give us a sense for how much of our range that we should bet, check, fold, etc. To get into the details of which particular hand classes you should take certain actions with, you can recreate the individual solves from the workbook using the ranges and configurations that I provide within the spreadsheet.
Hey Michael, first of all : greetings from Austria I am happy to have stubbled over your channel. I purchased Gto+ and wanted to make my first steps with solvers. The past few days i spent with your videos and i am fascinated by your type of work. I got a question regarding your workbook though. I am a tournament player. And obviously ranges and solver output will change dramatically when playing lower than 40bb. How about the part between 40 and 100? If its not to much to ask, i´d be happy if you could give me a rough estimate about how much of your workbook can be translated to effective stacks of 40+ bb. Thank you so much in advance! and be sure that your karma is being boosted with that amazing content i can enjoy for free on the other side of the globe!
Hi Matias - I answered this over email but going through my back YT comments now and answering this for everyone else that happens to see this. I would not recommend using my workbook for tournament play. 100 BB play is just so different than 40 BB play. In addition, tournaments introduce other variables, such as ICM. This is specifically a reference for cash game play at 100 BB. The insights can be applied to some close sized stacks. My guess would be it starts really deviating as you go under 75 BB or over 125-150 BB.
Thanks! To be honest, I'm more of a live player than online, so I'm not sure that's in my area of expertise. Most of my focus is on how you can use solvers and/or data to study and develop better strategies at the table. I'm sure my opinion is clouded by my live experience and there are certainly people out there who can execute using randomizers well, but I believe that it's extremely complicated and likely counter-productive for the overwhelming majority of players.
Hi Darius - yes, they’re included. I have a tab within the workbook with the equilibrium ranges for the 52 different formations used within the workbook.
Hello, I am very interested in your product but I have a question. Sorry, I'm Spanish and the language makes it a bit more difficult for me. Suppose I buy the product, I understand how it affects the EQ, the EV ... and I want to create a strategy, for example, can I know based on this product with which hands to build the check range and/or the bet range of 1/3, 2/3 ...? Another question is: Will I need Pio solver scripting all 184 flops to create the strategy? Thank you very much for read me.
Hi Matias - Thanks for the note. This product only contains all the aggregated metrics and frequencies for all these formations as an easily manipulatable database. It's more meant for macro-level analysis, without getting into the individual ways you might construct a range on a particular board. You'd have to run the solves for yourself to get into the individual solve details for each individual combo. I do include all the ranges and solver configurations so that you'd be able to easily recreate it. Hope that helps answer your question. Let me know if you have any others. I'm happy to answer anything else.
I discontinued selling it publicly as I stopped supporting it. I still have the Excel though. If you are interested in it, email me at mike@lukich.io and we can work out a fair price.
Finally bought it from your site. Great to hear you are about to start this month. Hope to get an invite to your site soon. Thanks again.

sorry for my english it's not my native language
GReat job , it is on my list for next year!
Absolutely adore your content! Its been awhile since your last video, may i ask what are you up to these days?
Many thanks for your videos

new subscriber here and loving your videos by far, can you upload a video on how to use a randomizer properly?

Hello, what tree did you use for SB limp BB check, did you give the BB two sizes ?
Hi Florian - I only used 1 size at 50% for both players for the limped pot scenario
Hi MIchael. Your PIO ranges are included into with package or its only excel sheets?
Hi Darius - yes, they’re included. I have a tab within the workbook with the equilibrium ranges for the 52 different formations used within the workbook.

@@SolverSchool Thank you very much for your answer, Michael.
Is this still available for purchase? I tried accessing your website but it didn't work.
I discontinued selling it publicly as I stopped supporting it. I still have the Excel though. If you are interested in it, email me at mike@lukich.io and we can work out a fair price.
@@SolverSchool email sent, thank you for your response
