Where can I see all available solutions?

Accepted Answer

After loggin in to Checkmath software - click on "Solutions" -> then "View Checkmath Solutions List"

Question 13

Are there solutions for multiway spots?

Accepted Answer

No and there are couple of reasons for that. First of all, playing GTO in 3+ way spots may lead to -EV decisions if someone deviates from GTO. Besides, in NL Holdem these spots don't come up very often and solving additional sizings and defense ranges for HU spots has more value.

Question 20

I have another Holdem solver rather than PioSolver/JeSolver. Is it possible to use FULL version of CheckMath?

Accepted Answer

As of today, unfortunately, no. We only use PioSolver/JeSolver engine for postflop recalculations. You can still use CheckMath Basic version though.

Question 21

What are “custom recalc settings” in the Hand’s window?

Accepted Answer

It is a quick way of adding 1 (and only 1) sizing for current street and adding it to saved template for current spot. Imagine you are in the situation where you are IP on the Turn and face 10% pot-sized bet. But you only pre saved 50%,100%, 150% in recalculation settings for this spot. You can write 10 in the “OOP bet” on the Turn, run Recalculate and it will return a result for (10%, 50%, 100%, 150%) bets, effectively adding new sizing to the pre saved sizing’s template. CheckMath is all about speed of getting relevant results.
