He says new players should not look to use solvers to win as it would be pointless to learn and understand them without studying the fundamentals first. He put out some great advice via his social media regarding newbies using solvers. His advice for new players is focus on learning the basics and building a strong foundation before jumping into solvers. <\/p>\n<p>However, if you are a seasoned poker player or someone looking to make the move to high stakes poker, then you might want to check out some poker solvers. Female poker pro <a href=\"https:\/\/www.top10pokersites.net\/news\/maria-konnikova-delays-poker-book-due-to-winning-streak\">Maria Konnikova<\/a> has said that solvers has helped her in her professional career. She notes the importance of solvers when comes down to having strong strategies ready to implement at the table. <\/p>\n<p>For her, solvers improve her understanding of the game. Konnikova says she does not use solvers to go out and implement the same moves but uses it to expand her thinking and let it serve as a guide on what to do when she gets stuck on similar situations. She also believes that solvers help her in spotting bluffs and knowing when to bluff as well as execute them much more confidently.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"are-solvers-good-or-bad\">Are Solvers Good or Bad?<\/h2>\n<p>There is a heated debate with the use of solvers whether it is to provide solutions on a GTO setup or not.
