Most players don't get the chance to practice heads up play until they are already at the final table battling it out for the title.

Since the majority of the prize pool is at the top, you should be prepared when the big money is on the line.

​That is why we are very excited to announce our brand-new Heads Up tournament scenarios for the WPT GTO Trainer! ​

The new Heads Up scenarios give you the ability to train different stack depths and alternate positions after each hand.

Members can access these scenarios by clicking the filter below "What you would like to train today?", select Heads-Up, and choose from the list of available training scenarios.

Heads Up Training Scenarios are normally only available to LearnWPT.com Platinum Members. For a limited time we're providing exclusive access to this sample pack for everyone to test their skills by clicking the link below.

The Heads Up scenarios from the WPT GTO Trainer allow you to train and drill millions of hands and learn optimal strategy for heads up play, gain valuable experience, be better prepared, and have the advantage when it matters the most...

Sitting across from your opponent with the title on the line.

There have been many poker “trainers” in the past that allowed you to play poker hands for practice. However, these have been powered by people’s opinions of what is good play and not true Game Theory Optimal (GTO) strategy.

What makes WPT’s GTO Trainer different?

• The WPT GTO Trainer allows you to play through true Nash equilibrium solutions to various No-Limit Hold'em poker Scenarios (over 4 BILLION solved spots and counting!)
• Get instant feedback on the precise EV (Expected Value) Loss of every move you make
• Rapidly plug leaks and learn the GTO strategies that have dominated the highest stakes games in the world

To play the WPT GTO Trainer without the need for screen adjustment between hands, simply add LearnWPT.com as a shortcut to your iOS and Android mobile device.

Click below for a few simple steps to train optimally using the GTO Trainer from a mobile device:

• Trainer Instructions for iOS Devices
• Trainer Instructions for Android Devices

Using the WPT GTO Trainer is fast and easy! Members can click TRAINER in the top navigation bar or mobile menu.

Members must be logged in to your LearnWPT.com Membership to start Training and Practicing.

1) Select the Specific Spot you want to train from the available list of Scenarios (ex: MP2 Open vs Button Call)

• Use REFINE SEARCH to filter for specific training scenarios
• Spots will be either a Cash Game or Tournament Scenario (labeled as Cash, MTT - Tournament, FT - Final Table, SMALL - Small Stakes, or HU - Heads Up)
• Click the drop down box to select the specific Game Type, Situation, and Stack Size you would like to train
• Select multiple options in the menus to narrow your search

Hint: Any Scenarios with a green PLAY NOW button are packs available to your current membership that you have not trained with yet

2) When selecting the Spot to train, take note of the Effective Stack size in Big Blinds and Pot Size information to consider when making your decision (see image below for example). These factors will remain constant at the start of each new hand based on the specific Scenario you’ve selected.

Here are some additional tips for choosing which spot to train:

• Your Position and Action (Hero) is always listed first in the Scenario name
• Each Scenario will have you training from either In Position or Out of Position (noted in the description of Scenario action)
  • Cash Game Scenarios use a green table
  • Tournament Scenarios use a blue table
  • Final Table Scenarios use a purple table
  • Small Stakes Scenarios use an orange table
  • Heads Up Scenarios use a burgundy table

3) The description of Scenario explains the Preflop action.

• Example - MP2 Open vs Button Call Scenario:
  • Hero (you) are the MP2 player and Open to 2.5BBs preflop
  • The Button player (Villain) calls and everyone else folds
  • Action starts with the flop and 7.5BBs in the pot

4) View the Hand Range Charts per Position for this Scenario.

• The hand range charts for Hero and Villain show respective ranges going to the flop (after their last preflop action)
• Percentages listed for specific hand combos indicate the frequency with which those specific hands are in the overall range for the given scenario
• Hand ranges are also color coded based on order of action preflop (lighter or darker shades of each color visually indicate the frequency for these hands):
  • The LAST preflop aggressor's hand range is shown in red
  • The preflop caller's hand range is shown in green

Hint: Select the image of the hand range charts per position (ie MP2 or Button) to expand to a larger view

After selecting the Scenario you wish to train, simply click or tap on the START NEW SESSION button to start!

Reminder: When training you should be solely focused minimizing EV Loss, instead of whether or not you win any one particular hand.

This allows you to have a long term mindset towards poker that focuses on the quality of decisions and not short term results.

Click START NEW SESSION and you will instantly be faced with a postflop decision based on the Scenario you select from the menu.

1) Customize the WPT GTO Trainer to change how you get instant feedback while training!

• Click the SHOW STATS % button and choose between:
  • Specific EV Loss and % Played Percentage Stats for each action (green)
  • Simplified response that indicates if the action you chose is correct or not recommended (orange)
  • The simplified feature is perfect for players who are just starting to study Game Theory Optimal Strategy

2) You'll immediately be faced with your first decision.

• Choose Fold, Call, Check, Bet, or Raise by clicking the button
• Bet sizing options are those commonly recommended by GTO
• Villain’s responses to your decisions are GTO - you’ll often face multiple decisions in a hand

3) After each decision, you'll see the EV Loss and Played % for your action directly on the table.

• EV (Expected Value) Loss - This shows the number of big blinds you would lose against a GTO player if you took this action
• Played % - This shows how often a GTO Player would take the same action you took

Remember - EV Loss of 0.00 does not mean the GTO Player would take that action 100% of the time (the difference is due to balancing ranges through mixed strategies and maximizing EV for your overall range)

4) Your goal is to select the action for each individual hand that is as close to 0.00 EV as possible.

• EV Loss of 0.00 is the same action a GTO Player would take
• 0.00 EV Loss means you broke even against a GTO Player
  

5) The Ideal GTO Action is noted in the top center of the table.

• A green check-mark next to your action means it is GTO
• Next is the action a GTO Player would take and how often they would take that specific action
• Ideal Action and Frequency are displayed so you know the GTO play for each action immediately
  
  

6) Multiple actions in a given spot are often "correct" according to GTO Play.

• GTO Play has many mixed strategies, where plays are made a specific percentage of the time
• You will often see actions with a very low EV Loss (e.g. -0.01) and a reasonable Played % (e.g. 35%)
  • These actions are not "wrong" and are part of a balanced overall GTO strategy
  • If a play results in high EV Loss (color coded in red), you should generally avoid that play unless you have compelling exploitative reasons to make it against a specific opponent
    
    

• If the Percentage Played for an action is 1% or less, then that action is rarely taken by a GTO Player and you should generally avoid that play
  • If you select an action that results in a Played % of 1% or less, all subsequent decisions for that specific hand will display "N/A" in red, since that entire line should be avoided

EV Loss Color Coding Hint: Green = Near GTO Play, Orange = Take Caution, Red = Probable Leak in Your Game

• Toggle the AUTO ADVANCE button to advance to the next hand decision automatically (green - default) or manually (red)
  • For new users we recommend leaving the Auto Advance button in the off position so that you can take your time and review the real time feedback
• Click the FULL SCREEN button for a large view
• Review these instructions anytime by clicking HOW TO PLAY
• Toggle the SHOW STATS% button switch between specific EV Loss and % Played Percentage Stats for each action (green) to a simplified response that indicates if the action you chose is correct or not recommended (orange)
• Select FAVORITE to save a hand to your library for future review or to send to Ask a Pro
• Click the EXIT SESSION button to complete your Training Session and review your stats on the Session Summary Page
  
  

• View the hand ranges during a session by clicking the green ℹ️ information icon button to review the charts during play
• The hand range charts are labeled by position name
  
  

View the charts when facing a difficult spot and examine the possible hand combinations to help train your decisions closer to 0.0 EV Loss.

Your overall EV Loss and Total Hands played are accessible right from the WPT GTO Trainer Dashboard.

Remember, the WPT GTO Trainer puts you up against an unbeatable (i.e. perfect) opponent. There is no winning in the long-term against it. The most we can ever hope for is to break-even. This is great for us, since this perfect opponent is also the perfect teacher.

Over time, the closer you come to break-even play against the Trainer, the tougher player you’ll become and the harder it will be for your opponents to outplay you.

And if you have high EV loss don’t get discouraged. It’s normal to feel challenged when you are learning new concepts. After all, the WPT GTO Trainer is literally a perfect opponent.

WHY FOCUS ON EV LOSS?

The way we measure our performance against the Trainer is by tracking "EV Loss" or Expected Value Loss.

The best possible result after you pick an action is an EV Loss of 0. This means the action you chose breaks even against a perfect player.

• When EV Loss isn’t 0, the number shown is the amount of big blinds that we would lose taking a specific action in the long run
• It's possible to make a poor play (high EV Loss) that results in winning a specific hand

You’ve all seen players make bad plays and win the pot or make the right play and lose the pot. Over time EV Loss will track closer and closer to actual losses.

You’ve put in the work, now you can start to see where your specific leaks are for each Scenario. Your Session Summary will break down your hand compared to GTO Play.

Reading and Interpreting the Data:

KEY STATS:

1) Overall EV Loss in big blinds Per 100 hands played.

• Goal is to get as close to 0.00 as you can
• 0.00 EV Loss is impossible for humans to attain in the long run
• Do your best and focus on spots giving you the most trouble
  • Do not be discouraged by a high EV Loss in the beginning. When new to GTO Trainer, it's very common for players to have an EV Loss of -50.00BBs/100 or more

2) Number of Hands Played in your Session

• Sample size is important when considering relevant statistics
• A minimum of 200 hands is the recommended sample size to start seeing stats for your play
• Schedule a set number of hands each day to practice a specific Scenario and keep track of your progress
  

AGGRESSION:

3) AGGRESSION gives an instant snapshot of the key actions You (shown in Red) are taking across all hands played vs what actions a GTO Player (shown in Blue) would take

• Don't Worry, if you initially have a huge gap in one direction vs GTO - this is not uncommon

Hint: Hover over the bar graph to see the number of hands in that session each action was taken by you vs a GTO Player

HAND TYPES:

1) HAND TYPES compare your play to GTO Play divided by the different categories of hands (i.e. pairs, flushes, trips, etc).

• Your Action is on the top bar and GTO Play is the bottom bar

Hint: Green (aggressive action) = Bet or Raise, Yellow (passive action) = Check or Call, Red = Fold. A color key to be implemented shortly!

2) How to read your results - in this example from the dashboard image for the PAIR hand category shown above:

• You chose to either Bet/Raise 17% of the time, Check or Call 72% of the time, and Fold 10% of the time when you had a 1-Pair hand in this given scenario (top line of the bar graph)
• GTO Strategy is to Bet/Raise 24% of the time, Check/Call 62% of the time, and Fold 14% of the time (bottom line of the bar graph)
  

3) If the top line results are very different from bottom line results (after a large number of hands played) then you know you are playing those hand types differently than how a GTO Player would play them. These are the spots you want to study first.

Don’t get intimidated by stats listed or if there are big differences between your play and GTO Play. Keep training the same Scenario and focus on your biggest leak before you play each Session. Before you know it you’ll be closer to 0.00 EV Loss (and GTO Play!).

HAND BREAKDOWN:

1) HAND BREAKDOWN displays all of the hands you've played in a session listed by hand type, position, board summary, and EV Loss.

• Click the REPLAYER button next to a specific hand played to show the action unfold and review for study later
• Have questions about that hand? After replaying the hand click the ASK A PRO button to send your hand the LearnWPT Pros for analysis using the Ask a Pro Feature

2) Select a specific hand played to see these details:

• BOARD - Shows the specific rank and suit for each street dealt (flop, turn, river)
• ACTION - The action Hero (you) chose on that street (bet/raise, call/check, fold)
• GTO PLAY % - Percentage of time a GTO Player would take a specific action if faced with the same decision
• EV LOSS - The number of big blinds your action would lose against a GTO player
  • Evaluate EV Loss in Proportion to Pot size
  • An EV Loss of -1.00 is significant in a 6.5BB pot. It is far less significant in a 100BB pot
  • The color coding of EV Loss on the Trainer table takes into account pot size
    

3) Each street of action is broken down with a color coded bar graph noting the specific actions a GTO player would take if faced with the same decision as HERO, including the percentage of time a GTO player would take those specific actions.

• In the above example our decision to bet 2.50 on the flop you will see that a GTO Player:
  • Checks 56% of the time
  • Bets small 15% of the time
  • Bets large 28% of the time
  • Green = Bet or Raise, Yellow = Check or Call, Red = Fold

4) In some instances you will see gradient shading (lightest to darkest moving left to right) representing the bet-sizing that a GTO Player would choose in a given spot.

• In the example above:
  • Bet/Raise small amount (lightest green)
  • Bet/Raise larger amount (darker green)
  • Bet/Raise largest amount (darkest green)

With Train & Explain Episodes we've combined two key factors to improving your game: drilling hands and having a feedback loop. Train & Explain will help make learning GTO Strategy fast and easy regardless of your skill level!

Train & Explain Strategy Episodes gives you an exclusive seat behind a LearnWPT Pro for select hands from the WPT GTO Trainer to learn the "why" behind each decision.

There is a twist: you'll play the same hands as the LearnWPT Pro for each Episode. After playing, watch the Strategy Episode for a detailed breakdown of each decision point as LearnWPT Instructors analyze the same hands you just played.

Tip: Use the REFINE SEARCH to filter for all Train & Explain Episodes.

We know you’ll have a lot of questions about GTO Strategy and we’re here to help! The LearnWPT Instructors will be showing you plenty of specific ways to use the WPT GTO Trainer to improve your poker game in future Strategy Episodes.

Now that you’ve had a chance to walk through the WPT GTO Trainer it’s time to Play!

Whether you need practice postflop after defending your Big Blind in a Tournament, or you want to drill 3-bet defense from middle position with deep stacks in a Cash Game, it’s just one click away.

Train as often as you like. Get real time feedback on trouble Spots and Ask the LearnWPT Pros with one click.

We Want Your Feedback! Email the Support Team at [email protected] with any questions or suggestions.

If yes, THANK YOU and congratulations on taking another step in improving your game! If no, let's change that today.

So, what exactly is HIT?

The Hand Input Tool (HIT), is a LearnWPT Feature that allows Members to capture, replay, and share real hands they've played and receive analysis and feedback from the LearnWPT Pros.

See below for info, hints, and the benefits of this powerful feature:

Getting Started:

Login and access HIT from the top navigation bar or via the mobile menu. For more instructions watch the "Show Me How it Works" video on the HIT Dashboard or review Episode 226: Hand Input Tool (HIT).

Recording your hand:

➧ To begin, click the red ENTER A HAND NOW button
➧ Enter the game specifics:

• Select Cash or Tournament
• Enter the Blinds Amount
• Select the type of Ante and enter the amount
• Enter the number of Players Seated
• Click the NEXT button to record the action

➧ Follow the onscreen prompts to record the hand information
➧ Shortcuts when entering hole card information for quicker recording

• Type the first letter or number of the card value and suit versus clicking each option to select your card, example:
  • Type "a" + "c" to select A♣ or type "2" + "d" to select 2♦
• Use the +/- keys to increase/decrease values or click your cursor into the field box and manually type the value
  

Helpful Hint: Click the EXIT SESSION → button in the top right-hand corner of the screen to stop the hand at a specific point for analysis before getting to showdown

Receiving Feedback:

Members can submit their recorded HIT hands to the LearnWPT Pros for analysis of their play and get answers to questions about a specific move or strategy using the Ask a Pro Feature.

Sending your hand in for feedback:

➧ Once finished recording your hand, the action will replay and a pop-up will appear noting options for your hand
➧ Click the ASK A PRO button to submit your hand for analysis
➧ Enter a title, your question or comment, and click the SEND YOUR QUESTION button

That's it! The LearnWPT Pros will provide feedback shortly

Helpful Hint: Use the Sort By button to select HIT on the Ask a Pro page to review 500+ already answered submitted hands

HIT Helpful Hints:

Our goal is to make HIT an easy to use and personal experience. Be sure to share with us any suggestions.

Did you know you can:

➧ Update the name of a hand by clicking the NL Cash or NL Tourney fields in the top center of the screen
➧ Change the name/nickname of a player and their chip stack by clicking their position tile - PLAYER NAME and CHIP STACK fields
➧ Replay, delete, or edit hands you've saved from your HAND LIBRARY by clicking the thumbnail image or vertical ellipsis
➧ Shortcuts when reviewing the replay of a hand for quick navigation

• Pause/Restart Action = Space Bar
• Show Hole Cards = "H" Key
• Move Action Forward/Backward = Right/Left Arrow Keys
• Toggle Stacks Between Big Blinds/Chips = "B" Key
• Toggle Between Player and Position Names = "A" Key

The habit of recording hands you've played followed by analysis (and feedback) creates a positive feedback loop for improvement which allows you to find (and fix) leaks faster, while learning to make better decisions at the table.

We are exited to provide this invaluable tool for our Members to help create that loop and to provide them with guidance and helpful feedback.
