Two Solver Questions

1. What’s the best solver for someone who plays exclusively mid-stakes live full-ring with all that implies (loose ranges, multi-way pots, etc)?

2. I’m part way through Nick Petrangelo’s smash live cash course on Upswing. Most of the charts and solver stuff make obvious sense, but does anyone know why the solver likes K6s so much? I get that it blocks AK/KK but it has awful playability.

Thanks

AIUI solvers love 6x hands (K6s, 65s/76 over 87 etc) because the V solver is playing a lot of Ax hands and a 6 coolers them on 5432 type boards.

Also K6s/K7s block AK but unblock A5s/A4s.


Helpful info. Thank you.

Great explanation
V solver plays GTO I think
Does that mean I should be playing more Ax hands? I’m usually not playing them much.

I think I learned from Little about 65s being a solver favorite, but I still don’t feel ready to jump in there with K6.
