Marc Goone from Hungry Horse Poker demonstrates how to use poker solvers, particularly Pio Solver, to develop exploitative strategies against live players. He covers node locking techniques, range betting, and street-by-street analysis to maximize profits. Marc emphasizes adjusting solver outputs based on opponents' tendencies rather than relying solely on GTO play.

Highlights:

  • Using Pio Solver for customizable poker analysis
  • Node locking opponent responses on each street

  • Analyzing turn and river sizing based on board texture

  • Turn and river sizing should be adjusted based on board texture and opponent tendencies
  • Balancing value bets and bluffs is crucial for maximizing profits
