EV Loss (Expected Value Loss) refers to the theoretical expected value (EV) of the loss a player incurs due to not making the optimal decision.

EV Loss doesn't represent how many chips were actually lost in a hand, but rather measures the difference between a player's performance and the optimal strategy. Even if a hand is ultimately won, an EV Loss can still occur if the decision-making wasn't optimal; conversely, even if the pot is lost, there might be no EV Loss if the decision-making is correct.

This article will provide a complete introduction to the definition of EV Loss, Solver analysis, GTO applications, and practical concepts.

Node Lock refers to manually modifying the strategy of a specific node during Solver analysis, causing the opponent to make decisions based on a specified playstyle instead of GTO, and then recalculating the optimal response strategy.

Since real players rarely play exactly according to the GTO, professional players often use Node Lock to simulate opponents' over-bluffing, under-bluffing, over-folding, or calling station behaviors to identify the most profitable exploit strategies.

This article will provide a complete introduction to the definition, operation, Solver application, and practical analysis of Node Lock.
