Table Of Contents
Every poker player, whether grinding the online streets or battling it out in live tournaments, is searching for an edge. The difference between a marginal winner and a true crusher often comes down to study—and that’s where GTO Wizard comes in. But are you really using it to its full potential?
Here are three underrated features that can help you think smarter, adjust better, and be stronger than ever before at the tables.
1. Trainer Tool: The Ultimate Poker Gym
If you’ve ever felt like you know the right play but struggle to execute it under pressure, the Trainer tool is your new best friend. It’s like having a poker gym where you can work on your game without risking a single chip.
MTT coach Dr. Kamikaze is a huge fan of this feature:
“I’m a big fan of the Trainer tool. It’s a great way to drill the most common spots that come up in tournaments, like big blind defense, which can shift so dramatically as stack sizes and tournament stages change.”
Imagine sitting in the big blind and instantly knowing exactly how to respond to every open based on stack depth, opponent tendencies, and ICM considerations. With Trainer, you’ll develop muscle memory for the most frequent and crucial situations, so when it counts, you don’t hesitate—you execute.

2. Nodelocking: Your Secret Weapon for Exploitation
Most opponents don’t play perfect GTO. They overfold, overcall, or misplay postflop spots. The problem? If you’re only studying GTO solutions without adjusting for how humans actually play, you’re missing out on a ton of profit. That’s where Nodelocking comes in.
Pro player "Donk Orleone" explains how this tool helps break free from rigid solver play:
“What I like to do a lot is reviewing hands where I nodelock how I would try to build a reasonable range on every node for either player, then seeing what I can do to take advantage of such a strategy.”
With Nodelocking, you can tweak how opponents are playing—whether they’re too passive, too aggressive, or making common mistakes—and instantly see how to adjust your strategy for maximum profit. If you’re not using this tool, you’re essentially playing against an imaginary world where everyone is a solver bot.

3. Custom Solving: Build the Exact Scenarios You Need
Ever found yourself in an unusual spot and wished you could see exactly what GTO would suggest? That’s where Custom Solving shines. Instead of relying on pre-solved solutions, this feature lets you create and analyze hands in real time, fine-tuning strategies based on specific table dynamics.
High-stakes pro Kevin Rabichow says it’s one of his go-to tools:
“Everything custom solver. It’s honestly easier to find the answers I need by building a custom solution with automatic or dynamic settings, rather than searching through the solutions library.”
This is huge. Maybe you want to study a final table scenario with ICM pressure, or a deep-stacked cash game spot with multiple bet sizes. Instead of hoping the preset solutions match your situation, you can just create your own.
