What you get, exactly

The data

Exact MonkerSolver output

Every strategy in the tool, PLO and NLHE alike, is decoded from MonkerSolver's own files, using Monker's exact compact-row hand indexing. We don't rebuild strategies from equity buckets and we don't interpolate between boards. Frequencies come through at half-percent resolution: wherever the solve stores a mix - every preflop range in both games, and NLHE postflop at the depths we re-solved (20/30/50/100/200bb) - if the solver bet a hand 62.5% of the time, the tool says 62.5. Where a solve stores a pure postflop strategy instead (the seven original PLO depths and the remaining NLHE depths), you get that unsmoothed, and the mixing you see across a hand class is the honest blend of its combos, not a smoothed average. The re-solved PLO 100bb solves, 6-max and heads-up, and both PLO5 solves store mixed postflop strategies too.

The PLO library is nine solves: 6-max from 12 to 200 big blinds and heads-up at 100, each solved preflop through river. Postflop that means all 15 two-player seat pairings at each 6-max depth, with single-raised, 3-bet, 4-bet, and limped pots where the tree carries them. Preflop it means 563 decision spots, from first-in through 6-bet and the whole vs-limp family.

PLO5 has two solves, heads-up and 6-max, both at 100 big blinds. They read the same way as the PLO library, preflop through river, with the same postflop hand categories.

The eight NLHE 6-max solves run from 20 to 200 big blinds, with 10.7 trillion iterations across the ladder, all 1,755 flops with every runout, and per-action preflop EV for every hand. Three are MonkerSolver output at 5% rake capped at 1.5bb; the other five (20/30/50/100/200bb) are our own 2026 re-solves, on a richer bet tree with a 2bb cap and mixed postflop strategies. NLHE also has a heads-up solve at 100bb. The rake for whichever depth you pick is stated next to the stack selector, because ranges move with rake.

All of it is precomputed and streamed to your browser about a megabyte at a time, so a board comes up with no queue. Custom NLHE/PLO4 turns and rivers are solved on demand, with supported node locking, below.

Custom turns and rivers

Choose sizes and lock hand strategies

The library plays the river with the sizes MonkerSolver was given. When that isn't the bet you're thinking about, pick your own: up to three bet sizes and two raises, four and three in hold'em, on the spot in front of you. The river is solved again from the exact ranges both players arrive with. The wait depends on the live combos and tree size. Starting a solver, preparing ranges, queueing, final evaluation and result transfer add to the computation time.

Nothing is interpolated and nothing is bucketed. Every combo is its own information set, so blockers are exact: 9h8h holding the flush blocker gets its own strategy instead of the average of every 98. Rivers target 0.1% of the pot, checked by an exact best response against the strategy it just produced, and the panel states the figure it reached.

Raising goes where real raising goes. Your sizes are on the menu for the first two raises, and after that the largest one repeats until someone is all in. No line dead-ends in fold-or-call with eighty big blinds behind.

NLHE/PLO4 turns have separate turn and river menus, up to three bet sizes and two raises on each street, and include every legal river card. PLO4 turns enumerate all 48 possible river cards with exact card removal and individual four-card strategies. The PLO4 menu starts with a 66% bet and a pot-sized raise on each street; PLO sizes cannot exceed the pot. Supported library turns can also be re-solved with their published sizes. Broad arriving ranges or large menus can exceed the PLO4 resource budget and are refused before using your allowance.

Turns target 0.3% of the pot with a 120-second solver ceiling for NLHE and a solving budget of up to 5 minutes for PLO4. Free accounts get one turn a day, and Core gets 20 a day and 200 a month, separately from rivers. A time or iteration limit can stop a solve before its target; the panel reports the value reached and the stop reason. Both NLHE and PLO4 turns show their strategy only at 1% of the pot or less; otherwise the result is withheld and the custom turn is refunded. PLO4 finishes an iteration already in progress when its budget ends, then measures the final strategy. Preparation, queueing, final evaluation and result transfer add to the wait.

Hard node locks set individual hands or groups to pure or mixed strategies in half-percent steps. In NLHE and PLO4, keep locks for both players at multiple turn and river decisions, then edit, remove or clear them. Combo locking can also hold unpainted hands at a painted node to the selected parent strategy; turn it off to leave those hands free. Counter mode freezes selected decisions while the other decisions adapt. Frequency targets and profile incentives change the game being solved. The node-locking guide covers painting, range targets, profiles and Compare. My locked spots saves drafts and result versions to your account and shares them read-only with a signed-in study partner.

Both ranges are rebuilt on our side from the same published solve the tool is already reading, so no range-file upload is needed. Results are keyed by the spot, sizes, controls and solve build; reopening a cached result costs nothing. A free account solves one river a day in PLO or NLHE. Core solves 100 a day and 600 a month. Custom rivers run on the PLO and NLHE solves; the two PLO5 solves don't have them.

Preflop

Preflop is free. All of it.

Every opening, 3-bet, 4-bet, 5-bet, 6-bet, and vs-limp range, for every seat, at all nine PLO depths, browsable by 40 hand categories in 9 groups with suitedness splits. The solve files also store preflop EV - per-hand in the 6-max PLO solves, per-action for every NLHE hand. The study tables show frequencies; when you want what a hand actually earns instead of how often it gets played, the Solver Notebook reads the EV directly (preflop-spot --ev).

The preflop trainer plays full preflop hands by default: your seat rotates as it does in Game mode, opponents act from the solver, and you decide every time the action comes back to you until the flop. Switch that off for one-spot quizzes on the same lines, dealing hands weighted by how often they reach the spot, with fold and call buttons always present so 0%-frequency traps exist.

None of this sits behind the paywall. Preflop is where mistakes compound the longest, and giving the ranges away beats any ad we could run.

Decisions

Your first-in play beside the solve

The decision report lines up your first-in decisions with the matching solve in our library: cash PLO4 against the nine PLO solves (eight 6-max depths plus heads-up), cash NLHE against the eight 6-max depths from 20 to 200bb. For each solve and seat it shows how many spots you were in, how often you played, how often the solve plays the holdings you were actually dealt, and the difference. Two more columns count the hands you raised that the solve plays 10% of the time or less, and the ones you folded that it plays 90% or more.

The assumptions are printed beside the numbers. A hand is compared only at a depth near one of the solves (9-64bb and 80-320bb for PLO 6-max, 70-150bb heads-up, 16-320bb for NLHE), and the rake, the stacks at your table and the opening size you faced aren't checked against each imported hand, so a difference is a place to look. Every row links to that seat's range in the solver, and preflop ranges are free to open.

On the river the report puts your bluff share and your folds beside the exact pot-odds prices of the bets involved, in PLO5, PLO6 and tournaments as well. Hi/lo, Short Deck and fixed-limit hands sit outside this analysis, because split pots, inverted rankings and fixed sizings break the math it rests on. Those hands still get the full stats, opponents, spots and replayer.
