GTO Wizard introduces a pre-flop ICM solving feature, allowing Ultra subscribers to solve complex tournament scenarios in seconds. It supports custom stacks, bounties, and prize structures, and can import from hand history. Early bird offer ends October 15th.
GTO Wizard, the world's premier training tool for poker, has become even more powerful with the introduction of Preflop ICM Solving. This new feature eliminates the need for powerful hardware when analyzing tournament eliminations; you can even analyze these scenarios using your mobile phone.
The pre-flop ICM solver is available to Ultra subscribers, allowing users to customize stack sizes, ante, bounties, and prize structures. They can reconstruct any tournament hand using either chip EV or ICM strategies and solve pre-flop scenarios with up to 9 players and a depth of 250 big blinds.
With the addition of customizable raise sizing, node locking strategies, and a seamless transition from pre-flop to post-flop, you can understand why tournament enthusiasts are excited about the new pre-flop ICM solver.
What used to take a long time now only takes a few seconds.
According to the GTO Wizard blog, solving a single pre-flip ICM scenario used to require agonizing data input, and if you changed any variables, you had to wait approximately 30 minutes. If you changed the chip count, the solver would need another half hour to work its magic, severely hindering anyone wanting to delve deeper into a particular scenario.
The brand-new pre-flip ICM solver can resolve these types of scenarios in seconds, allowing you to easily input various situations and practice different examples.
Samuel Muller, a high-stakes tournament master, is a big fan of GTO Wizard's new pre-flip ICM solving feature.

"For me, the most important aspect of this release is efficiency. Until now, studying a specific ICM scenario usually meant running a pre-flip simulation, waiting for the solution, and then switching between different tools for the rest of the analysis. Now being able to do all of that directly in the GTO Wizard saves me a lot of time."
Which tournament formats is the pre-flip ICM solution applicable to?
No matter what tournament you're playing, the pre-flip ICM solution is almost guaranteed to work. GTO Wizard covers all major tournament formats, from standard multi-table tournaments to satellite tournaments, as well as knockout tournaments, progressive knockout tournaments, and grand knockout tournaments; you can even simulate mystery bounty tournaments.
All prize structures are fully customizable, supporting up to nine players, a stack depth of 250 big blinds, and a tournament size of up to 4,096 participants. Best of all, most scenarios can be solved in under a second!
Hand history import and integration
GTO Wizard users can now directly import chip stacks, ante, and bounties from their hand history, making solving online scenarios easier than ever before. Users simply upload their hand, import details, set the bounty and remaining players, and then solve the hand in seconds.
What are the current limitations of solving ICM before flipping?
Technical experts are working day and night to add more features to the GTO Wizard. Currently, the pre-flop tree for pre-flop ICM solving allows up to three players to enter the flop, which is the same as the multi-player pre-flop solving rules for cash games.
Scenarios where the fourth player overcalls or limps in are not yet supported, but GTO Wizard plans to enable these scenarios as part of the next batch of features.
