About
GTO+ is advanced game theory analysis software designed for Texas Hold'em poker players who want to rigorously optimize their postflop strategy using Nash-equilibrium mathematics. It provides one of the fastest and most accurate GTO (Game Theory Optimal) solving algorithms on the market, uniquely converging to a Nash distance of 0% — a benchmark many competing solvers fail to reach. Unlike traditional GTO solvers that demand several hundred megabytes per solution file, GTO+ leverages on-the-fly compression and intelligent recalculation to store entire solved trees in just a few hundred kilobytes. This dramatically reduces storage overhead and makes building and managing large databases of solved trees practical and efficient. The software includes an advanced tree builder with support for multiple bet sizes, a user-friendly visual tree editor, and a flexible graphing engine that lets users plot any solution property against any other. All analysis is handled internally, eliminating any dependency on third-party tools. Additional features include a one-click card removal toggle to examine its effect on optimal play, and the ability to recalculate specific turn or river runout lines without re-solving the entire tree. GTO+ is ideal for dedicated poker players, coaches, and students seeking deep mathematical insight into postflop strategy. It runs entirely as a self-contained desktop application, requiring no internet connection or external software — making it a powerful standalone workstation for professional-level poker research and training.
Key Features
- 0% Nash Distance Convergence: GTO+ fully converges to a Nash distance of 0%, ensuring mathematically precise GTO strategies where most competing solvers fall short.
- Ultra-Compact Save Files: Solution files are stored in just a few hundred kilobytes (vs. hundreds of MB for other solvers), enabling large, easily managed databases of solved trees.
- Advanced Tree Builder: Build complex decision trees with multiple bet sizes and customize them using an intuitive visual tree editor without re-solving from scratch.
- Internal Graphing & Analysis Tools: Plot any solution property against any other at any point in the tree, all within GTO+ itself — no need to export data to external software.
- Card Removal & Runout Recalculation: Toggle card removal effects on or off with a single click, and recalculate specific turn or river runout lines without re-solving the entire tree.
Use Cases
- Analyzing and memorizing optimal postflop strategies in heads-up Texas Hold'em cash games or tournaments.
- Building large databases of solved decision trees to study a wide range of board textures and scenarios.
- Poker coaching sessions using GTO+ to demonstrate and explain optimal play patterns to students visually.
- Comparing different bet-sizing strategies across multiple solved trees to identify exploitative adjustments.
- Studying the mathematical impact of card removal effects on GTO frequencies and hand ranges.
Pros
- Fastest Convergence Available: Reaches a 0% Nash distance, providing the most mathematically accurate GTO solutions among competing solvers.
- Practical Database Management: Extremely small save file sizes make it feasible to build, store, and compare large libraries of solved poker trees.
- Fully Self-Contained Workflow: Built-in analysis, graphing, and tree editing tools mean users never need to rely on external software for any part of the GTO study process.
Cons
- Hold'em Postflop Focus Only: GTO+ is specialized for heads-up postflop Hold'em scenarios and does not support other poker variants or preflop solvers.
- Steep Learning Curve: Game theory concepts like Nash equilibrium and tree-building require prior poker knowledge; beginners may find the tool overwhelming without a foundational background.
- Paid Only, No Free Tier: GTO+ requires a purchase with no free trial or freemium option clearly advertised, making it a committed financial investment upfront.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is GTO+ used for?
GTO+ is used to calculate Nash-equilibrium (Game Theory Optimal) strategies for Texas Hold'em poker, specifically for postflop heads-up situations. It helps players understand the mathematically optimal way to play in any postflop spot.
How is GTO+ different from other GTO solvers?
GTO+ distinguishes itself with one of the fastest solving algorithms available, 0% Nash distance convergence, extremely compact save files (a few hundred KB vs. hundreds of MB), and fully integrated analysis and graphing tools that eliminate the need for external software.
What platform does GTO+ run on?
GTO+ is a downloadable desktop application. It is self-contained and runs locally on your machine with no internet connection required after installation.
Can I build a database of solved trees with GTO+?
Yes. GTO+ includes scripting and database functionality that lets you create entire libraries of solved decision trees and run comparisons between them, all made practical by the software's compact save file format.
Do I need other software alongside GTO+?
No. GTO+ is completely self-contained. It includes internal analysis tools, a graphing system, a tree builder, and a visual editor — everything needed for a full GTO study workflow is built in.
