using 200BB solver for very deep live games
How effective is studying the solves for 200bb cash games using something like GTO Wizard when applied to live cash games that may play with 400/500 BB up to like 1000BB? And these live games are 8 handed with a high rake at least compared to online, often 2.5bb? I'm not sure on GTO wizard I can set this high of a rake.
I can think of some deviations but I am not sure how extreme they would be, I'm guessing fairly extreme in some points. I just feel like in these deep games, I'll need to make some large adjustments and it's the classic "I don't know what I don't" situation.
Any help going down this road would be appreciated, obviously I'm new to solvers so I'm not even sure the correct questions to ask.

I would say not very helpful. A postflop solver for situations where you're heads up and can accurately estimate both your range and your opponent's range is always useful, though.
The solutions will be different for much deeper stacks.
That being said, if the game plays like a lot of live games where the standard open size is very large, then post flop play can be like you're playing with half the number of bbs. 400 bb postflop spots are effectively like 200 bb if the standard preflop raise size is 5 bbs, and players aren't adjusting their preflop ranges to the large sizing.
The bigger issue is that a lot of pots tend to go multi way live, and a heads up solver isn't really applicable in those situations.
