GTO Wizard, a widely used poker training platform, has introduced a new Preflop ICM Solving feature aimed at tournament players. The tool removes the need for high-end hardware when studying bust-out and payout-jump scenarios, meaning even a mobile phone can now handle the calculations.
The feature is available exclusively to Ultra subscribers. Users can customize stack sizes, antes, bounty amounts, and payout structures, then rebuild tournament hands using either chip-EV or ICM-based strategies. Preflop scenarios can be solved for up to nine players with stacks as deep as 250 big blinds.
Previously, solving a single preflop ICM situation required tedious manual data entry and roughly 30 minutes of processing time, with any adjustment to stack sizes triggering another lengthy wait. GTO Wizard says its new system now produces solutions for most spots within about a second.
High-stakes tournament specialist Samuel Muller praised the update, noting that it consolidates preflop simulation and further analysis into a single tool, saving significant time compared to switching between multiple programs.
The feature supports nearly every tournament format, including standard MTTs, satellites, and various knockout structures, with fields of up to 4,096 entrants. Hand histories can also be imported directly, allowing players to quickly set payouts and remaining player counts before solving. Currently, preflop trees accommodate up to three players reaching the flop, with four-player over-call scenarios planned for future updates.
GTO Wizard is offering an early-bird discount on Ultra subscriptions until October 15 at 1:00 p.m. CEST, with annual subscribers able to save at least $720 over twelve months.
