Understanding Decision Analysis

Inside the FlopHero Replayer, the Decision Analysis Panel reveals how a GTO solver approaches every spot in a hand.
Learning to interpret this panel is one of the fastest ways to upgrade your study process and decision-making at the table.

The Decision Analysis Panel reveals the solver’s reasoning for each action, showing ΔEV values that quantify how much each choice deviates from optimal play.

What GTO Feedback Shows

At each decision point, FlopHero displays the complete GTO strategy for that exact situation.
Instead of a single “do this” answer, you see the solver’s full range of actions, frequencies, and bet sizes that form a balanced strategy.

You get a complete view of:

• Every possible action and bet size
• How often GTO chooses each one
• The EV associated with every choice

Making Sense of the Frequencies

Each possible action - check, bet 50%, bet 100%, raise, or fold - has a percentage beside it.
This percentage shows how often GTO would take that action with the specific hand you’re analyzing.

Example: with pocket tens on a certain board, GTO might bet 70% of the time and check 30%.
Both actions are valid but appear in different proportions to keep your strategy balanced.

These are called mixed strategies - combinations of plays that prevent opponents from easily exploiting your tendencies.

How Your Play Stacks Up

Your actual action appears highlighted in the panel so you can instantly compare it to solver logic.
If your play aligns with one of the GTO options, it’s marked as correct.
When you deviate, the panel shows the ΔEV - the exact amount of expected value lost by making a different choice.

This direct comparison helps you see why a decision was suboptimal and what adjustment would have maximized EV.

Getting Your Bet Sizes Right

The panel lists the bet sizes GTO uses for each situation.
Many players underestimate how crucial correct sizing is - it affects range balance, fold equity, and pot geometry.
Understanding why certain bet sizes exist for specific board textures helps you apply better sizing logic across similar spots.

Why You Shouldn’t Always Pick the Highest Frequency

It’s natural to want to copy the action with the largest percentage, but that misses the goal of GTO learning.
GTO mixes actions for balance, not predictability.
The real skill is understanding why a mix exists and when to simplify it based on your game or opponents.

You’re not memorizing solver frequencies - you’re internalizing strategic logic.
