Reading a chart is not the same as knowing it. The trainer deals you real hands at a depth you choose and prices every wrong answer in big blinds.

// what was solved
  • Heads-up, blinds 0.5 / 1, no ante. Stacks are the effective stack in big blinds.
  • The small blind may only shove or fold; the big blind may only call or fold. No limps, no min-raises.
  • Solved by fictitious play over a 169×169 all-in equity matrix, 60,000 sampled runouts per matchup, card removal corrected. Every line ends all-in or folded, so there is no postflop model and no realisation fudge.
  • EV is the aggressive action minus folding, in big blinds, against the opponent's equilibrium range. Frequencies between 20% and 80% count as mixed, the same cut-offs the trainer grades with.
  • Raw data: pushfold.json (the exact file the trainer and these pages read).
