How this differs from a full solver. Frequencies are pre-computed and calibrated against published Nash-near results, not solved on the fly. We cover 9 common 100bb 6-max spots. For exact-equity per-board solving you still want a real solver (PIO, GTO+, MonkerSolver) — Solver-lite is an in-browser study aid for the spots that come up most often.

Guide

A solver's answers without the solver

PioSolver costs hundreds of dollars, needs a serious PC, and takes real study time to operate. But here's the thing: for preflop, the answers barely change. UTG's opening range at 100bb 6-max is essentially settled science. So instead of making you solve anything, Solver-lite ships the solutions: Nash-near mixed strategies for the 9 preflop spots that come up constantly, displayed on a color-coded 13×13 grid you can read in seconds.

It's for micro-stakes players who keep hearing "the solver mixes there" and want to see what that actually looks like — without buying software. Free, no signup, loads instantly.

How to use it

  1. 1.Pick a spot — e.g. "BTN open" or "BB vs CO open".
  2. 2.Read the frequency bar: it shows how much of the whole range raises, calls, 3-bets, or folds in that spot.
  3. 3.Scan the 13×13 grid. Solid-colored hands are pure actions; split cells are mixes — the proportions show the frequencies.
  4. 4.Compare against what you actually do. The gap between your default and the grid is your study list.

The methodology, honestly

The frequencies are pre-computed and calibrated to match published solver output for 100bb 6-max with standard sizings — "Nash-near", not a live equilibrium computation. Change the assumptions (antes, deeper stacks, different open sizes) and the exact mixes shift, though the shape of every range stays recognizable. That's the honest trade: 9 fixed spots, instantly and free, versus arbitrary trees in paid software. At micro stakes, the 9 spots are easily 80% of what matters preflop.

One practical warning: don't try to replicate mixes at the table by randomizing. Your opponents at NL2-NL25 aren't tracking your frequencies. Play the majority action of each mix consistently, and spend the saved brainpower on postflop decisions.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a real solver?

No — and we say so upfront. Nothing is being solved in your browser. Solver-lite displays pre-computed, Nash-near solutions curated from published solver output for 9 fixed preflop spots. A real solver (PioSolver, GTO+) computes strategies for arbitrary game trees and takes minutes to hours per spot. Solver-lite trades that flexibility for instant, free access to the spots that matter most.

What does 'mixed strategy' mean?

GTO doesn't always play a hand one way. A solver might open A5s from UTG 60% of the time and fold it 40%. The colored bars on each hand show these frequencies. Mixing makes you unexploitable — but at micro stakes, picking the higher-frequency action every time loses almost nothing.

Which 9 spots are covered?

Opening ranges for UTG, MP, CO, BTN, and SB; big blind defense versus UTG, CO, and BTN opens; and UTG's response when facing a 3-bet. All assume 6-max, 100bb effective stacks, no antes.

Why only preflop?

Preflop is where pre-computed solutions work: the spots repeat exactly, so 9 tables cover the bulk of decisions. Postflop has billions of board/action combinations — pre-computing them honestly isn't feasible in a free browser tool. For postflop equity questions, use the range calculator with a board.

How should I actually study with it?

Pick the spot you play worst (for most players: SB open or BB vs BTN). Guess the action for 10 hands before revealing the grid. Then drill the same positions in the GTO Trainer until your guesses match the mix's majority action.
