GTO stands for Game Theory Optimal, and this is basically a poker strategy which aims to make you unexploitable and perfectly balanced in every situation possible by finding the perfect raising, betting, calling and folding frequencies. PioSOLVER is a very fast GTO solver for Holdem. It handles postflop spots with arbitrary starting ranges, stack sizes, bet sizes as well as desired accuracy. It's the first in a new generation of tools moving poker from a game based mainly on intuition to a game based on analysis and math. Work out what the correct GTO strategy is for certain times of the game and assess it following the end of the game. This will tell you if you made the correct long-term call and that is what GTO poker is all about. You must work on your game, both at the poker table and away from the poker table for a GTO strategy to be successful.

GTO: Bluff:Value Ratio
If we have a bluff:value ratio of 2:1, it implies that we are bluffing twice as frequently as we are value betting. Logically, 33% of our range would be value-hands and 67% of our range would be bluffs in this case. Calculating the correct bluff:value ratio is very straightforward on the river, but gets increasingly complicated the earlier the street we are on. As such, we will start with river situations.
We assume that our value hands are always good and our bluffs always lose, which may not always be the case in practice. In other words, our opponent always holds a bluffcatcher and we are perfectly polarized.)
Earlier Streets
Poker Gto Definition Dictionary
If we are value-betting 10% of our total flop-range then we will be bluffing 5% of our total flop-range. Of all the hands we reach the flop with, 15% of them will be firing the river in this example
GTO: Turn Bluff:Value Ratio
In other words, any hand we raise the turn with (whether it be a value bet or bluff) with the intention of firing the river, can now be considered a 'value-hand' for the purposes of calculating bluff:value ratio on the turn. The hands we consider 'bluffs' on the turn are those which will fire the turn and then proceed to give up on the river.
- 10% value hands which fire turn and river
- 5% bluffs which go on to fire the river
- 7.5% bluffs which will check/fold the river

GTO: Flop Buff:Value Ratio
- 10% value hands which go on to fire the turn and river.
- 5% bluffs which go on to fire the turn and the river
- 7.5% bluffs which will fire the turn and check/fold the river
- 11.25% of hands which fire the flop and give up on the turn
- 33.75% of hands we reach the flop with are betting
- 23.25% of these hands are bluffs
- 10% are value hands
So what can we learn?
- The larger we bet, the more bluffs we can have in our range
- The earlier the street and the deeper the stacks, the more we can get away with bluffing

GTO: Why don't the results seem logical?
Poker Gto Definition
- We've assumed that all of our value hands will be used as part of a 3 street hand and not a 2 street plan. Adding more value hands will increase the frequency with which we fire the flop.
- We haven't discussed our check/call or check/raise ranges. We've simply assumed that if we check we are always giving up, which is illogical.
- We haven't factored in the equity of our bluffs and our value hands. We've simply counted combos which will result in noticeable inaccuracies
- We've assumed we are perfectly polarized on the river, and we might not be
