What you can solve
Every 5-card PLO spot you play.
- Preflop and postflop Solve a full preflop tree, then open any flop from it and click New postflop sim. Ranges come across automatically.
- Heads Up to 9-max Antes, straddles, double straddles and button straddles. Set stacks per seat.
- Multiway postflop 3-way and 4-way flops, turns and rivers, with each seat’s EV on the Solve screen.
- Bomb pots and double board Ante everyone in and start on the flop. Add a second board with one click. Half the pot settles on each board.
- Pot-limit bet sizes Write sizing rules once, save them as presets and apply them to the whole tree. Pot-limit trees raise pot until the stack is in.

- Big O 5-card Omaha Hi-Lo (8 or better) is its own game in the same app. See the Big O solver.
- Batch sims Run one spot across 10, 25, 100 or all 1,755 flops, or your own list of flops, turns or rivers. Results come back in one aggregate report.
