Description
Simplifying Solvers by Phil Galfond (Self-Paced Download Version)
Run It Once’s Simplifying Solvers is Phil Galfond’s course on turning raw solver output into decisions you can actually make at the table. Instead of memorizing frequencies, the course builds a repeatable framework for approaching any spot with a solver, then drills that framework across real flop, turn, and river study sessions from both the aggressor’s and the defender’s side of the hand.
Module 1: Introduction (2 lessons)
Introduction, and Setting Goals For The Course – how to approach the material and what you should be able to do with a solver by the end of it.
Module 2: Core Solver Framework and Analysis (8 lessons)
The backbone of the course: Value First, Sizing First, River First, Learning Range Frequencies, Understanding Incentives and Range Composition, Defense First, Mixed Strategies: Why, Why Not, and When, and the BRAIN Framework – a structured process for reading any solver solution without getting lost in the numbers.
Module 3: Solver Study Sessions (3 lessons)
Applied study sessions from the attacking side of the hand: studying flops, turns, and rivers as the aggressor.
Module 4: Study Session as the Defender (3 lessons)
The same study process from the other side of the hand: studying flops, turns, and rivers as the defender.
Module 5: All Applications and Mastery (4 lessons)
Optimizing Study Sessions, Drilling: Putting Solver Study into Practice, Pulling Heuristics, and Parting Thoughts – turning solver study into heuristics you can use away from the software.
Bonus Materials
Includes a GTO Basics PDF primer and a Notion study-tracking template referenced throughout the course.
Who Should Take This Course?
Players who already have some solver exposure but want a structured way to study with one, rather than randomly running sims. If you want Phil Galfond’s approach to a specific game type instead of solver theory itself, his This Is PLO course covers Pot-Limit Omaha strategy end to end.
