Pure strategy refers to a player consistently taking the same action in the same situation, without any frequency mixing.

For example, always betting (100% Bet), always checking (100% Check), always calling (100% Call), or always folding (100% Fold) all fall under the Pure Strategy. In GTO, some hand types employ the Pure Strategy, while others use a Mixed Strategy.

This article will provide a complete introduction to the definition of Pure Strategy, its differences from Mixed Strategy, Solver applications, and practical concepts.

Mixed strategy refers to a strategy where players, in the same situation, do not always take the same action, but rather distribute their actions among Bet, Check, Call, Raise, or Fold according to a certain frequency.

In GTO (Game Theory Optimal), a mixed strategy avoids overly simplistic approaches and reduces the risk of being exploited by opponents. Therefore, solvers often advise making different decisions at different frequencies for the same hand, rather than repeating the same action every time.

This article will provide a complete introduction to the definition, operation, solver, frequency, and practical applications of Mixed Strategy.

A solver is an analytical tool that uses mathematical models and game theory to calculate the optimal strategy in Texas Hold'em.

Solver isn't software that "plays cards for you." Instead, it uses extensive computation to provide suggested GTO (Game Theory Optimal) strategies, including bet size, bluff frequency, value range, and mixed strategy, helping players understand the reasons behind each decision.

This article will provide a complete introduction to the definition, operation, common tools, Node Lock, and practical applications of Solver.
