GTO Wizard Custom Solutions Gets a Major Upgrade

GTO Wizard rolls out a major Custom Solutions upgrade

GTO Wizard has released a meaningful upgrade to Custom Solutions, and this one matters for both cash-game grinders and tournament players. The new release expands solving depth to 1,000bb, raises postflop SPR support to 500, and makes tournament work much faster with preflop ICM solving directly from hand history or tournament JSON.

For serious study routines, this is the kind of update that changes how players spend their time. Deep-stack spots, three-way postflop trees, and bounty-heavy tournaments are exactly where manual setup can slow down learning. The new workflow reduces friction and makes the solver more practical for everyday use.

If you are building a structured study process, this update fits naturally with resources from poker school and hands-on experience in poker rooms, where deeper and more complex spots come up constantly.

Solving up to 1,000bb deep and SPR 500

The headline technical change is simple but powerful: Custom Solutions now supports spots up to 1,000bb deep, up from 250bb. That makes the tool far more useful for deep cash games, limped pots, and edge-case scenarios where effective stacks are many times larger than the pot.

Postflop SPR support also jumps to 500, up from 125. That may sound like a niche detail, but for deep-stack players it is a big deal. The higher the SPR, the more street-by-street nuance matters, especially on turns and rivers where ranges can remain wide and the cost of mistakes increases sharply.

In practical terms, this means:

• more accurate study for deep cash games;
• better coverage of limped and low-pressure pots;
• more reliable analysis of rare but high-EV branches;
• stronger preparation for extreme stack-depth dynamics.

GTO Wizard AI is now more accurate across all spots

GTO Wizard also retrained every Hold'em model, including preflop ICM, to improve accuracy across all spots and streets. That matters because solver quality is only as good as the model behind it, especially when players rely on the output to build real strategic habits.

To show the improvement, the team highlighted its 3-way turn benchmark. Average EV loss dropped 16.8% versus the July 2025 release, from 0.2415% to 0.2009% of the pot. The worst turn spot improved from 0.5954% to 0.4401%.

For players, the takeaway is straightforward: cleaner output means better study. When the model is more precise, you can trust the recommendations more, spot patterns faster, and spend less time wondering whether a close node is genuinely solved well.

Automatic and dynamic sizing for 3-way postflop spots

Another major quality-of-life improvement is the new automatic & dynamic sizing for all 3-way postflop spots. When 3-way solving first launched, players had to define every bet size manually. Now GTO Wizard AI can pick the highest-EV sizes for you, and it works in both cEV and ICM models.

That is a big step for anyone who studies multiway poker seriously. Three-way pots create different leverage points than heads-up spots, and sizing often has to account for more than just board texture. Position, range interaction, and payout pressure can all change the optimal strategy.

For players moving between online fields and live events, or between poker clubs and online series, this feature helps bridge the gap between theory and practical application.

Preflop ICM solving straight from hand history

One of the most practical updates is the new preflop ICM workflow. Players can now upload a hand history or tournament JSON and solve a tournament spot in seconds. Payouts, stacks, players left, and average stack are filled in automatically.

The workflow now includes several useful features:

• hand history parsing with tournament ID detection;
• automatic payout loading;
• stack and table-state filling;
• support for PKO and KO bounty structures;
• a preset library covering PokerStars, WPN, Winamax, 888poker, and more;
• JSON import for other sites, saved privately to your account.

If the system cannot find an exact match, it suggests a similar tournament instead. It also flags final-table deals when payouts were changed, which is especially useful for real-world tournament review.

Mystery bounty solving is now much easier

Mystery bounty spots are notoriously hard to evaluate because chip EV and bounty EV interact in ways that can be difficult to model manually. GTO Wizard has now made this process much simpler.

The new mystery bounty workflow takes just three steps: select Mystery bounty in hand details, enter the payouts, and add the average bounty — or let GTO Wizard AI calculate or estimate it for you.

That matters because mystery bounty tournaments have become a major part of the modern MTT landscape. Players who understand these spots well can make better push/fold decisions, more accurate call-off adjustments, and stronger stack-preservation choices when bounty value is in play.

The platform also hints at the next step: solving any spot directly from a screenshot. For players who review many hands every week, that could make study even faster and more seamless, especially when combined with promotions & bonuses from sites where you play and learn.

Expert analysis: why this upgrade matters

This release is more than a feature list. It reflects the direction of modern poker study: less manual setup, more automation, and greater precision in the spots where players lose the most EV.

The biggest strategic takeaways are:

• deep-stack study is becoming more accessible;
• ICM work can now be done faster and more often;
• three-way and mystery bounty spots are no longer a study bottleneck;
• better tooling helps players focus on decisions, not setup.

For tournament players, that means more efficient late-stage prep, where one wrong preflop decision can cost a large chunk of expected value. For cash-game players, it means stronger analysis in deep and awkward stack configurations that were previously harder to model well.

Final thoughts: a smarter workflow for serious players

GTO Wizard’s Custom Solutions upgrade is a strong step forward for players who care about structured study. The combination of deeper solving, better model accuracy, automatic sizing, and easier ICM setup makes the product more useful in real-world preparation.

In a competitive environment, the players who improve fastest are often the ones who remove friction from study. This update does exactly that, turning complex poker spots into something faster, cleaner, and more actionable.
