Tip 1 Always use the appropriate strategy table regarding rake/ante structure and stack depth.

GTO Strategies can vary to a large extent depending on rake/ante and stack sizes. You should learn your GTO strategies from the simulation data that is most similar to the actual games you are playing.

Tip 2 Do not forget these are GTO strategies.

Utilizing strategies suggested by PreflopWhiz might not be the best decision if your opponent's frequencies vastly differ from GTO. Think it through and rely on your poker knowledge to make the best decision adapting to your opponents.

Tip 3 You can compare the decision's EV-s in any situation.

If you think a decision is close, you should check the EV difference. (To do this simply double click on any category and EV-s will be displayed there.) If the EV difference is small, depending on your opponent's frequencies, it may be better not to choose the suggested strategy.
Using this feature is very helpful playing MTT-s, where our strategies do not consider ICM. It may be better to ditch some of the lower EV plays when ICM is in play!

Tip 4 When utilizing short stack strategies against opponents who are short stacked and you are deeper, always consider that you might have to risk more chips against other opponents than what was solved in the simulation

Therefore, use these strategies with great care! For example, let's say you have 40BBs MP and a 10BB opponent raises from EP. Our 10BB strategies assume that you also have 10BBs and when you reraise you will not risk more than that.

Note In some of our strategy tables, there are a few situations where the call option was not given to the solver.

This is the case when the call cell for a situation (or a few) is marked with "x" but the rest are filled in the same category. In these cases, you might consider whether calling would have higher EV than raising/folding. You can do this by comparing the results with similar situations in the same category where all three options were allowed.

Note Despite our best efforts to carefully check strategies before publishing them, data processing errors may occur.
