How to understand solvers
I was wondering how the solver learning curve works. I currently don't have access to a solver only apps that have training exercises that allow you to see the range split and sizing solutions. My question is what is the best way to learn how to play exploitatively using the solver solutions. I feel like there has to be a more effective way than just trying to memorize what solver does on certain boards and why.

You are going to need a solver a with Node Locking to exploit using a solver.
You cant really look at an equilibrium solver output and see how to make exploits. You need to input what you think your opponent's strategy is into the solver and then get an exploitative result.
You are going to find that small changes in villain's strategy will result in huge changes to your strategy. For example, if the solver knows that villain is underbluffing a little on the river, then the solver responds by folding nearly all bluffcatchers.
