DTO MTT - GTO Poker Trainer

For my level of play this app is worth every penny! Playing against other bad players with the knowledge I’ve gained has helped relieve so much stress in so many situations and allowed me to play so much more balanced. I know what to do and when I’m supposed to do it. Again I’m not going after the regs, I’m going after the other rec players at the table. I’m playing mostly online 1/2

It’s hard to put into words what DTO has done for my game in such a short time. Without rambling too much, DTO does one thing very well: it teaches you HOW to win. It might show you things don’t make sense right away or things you don’t agree with but ultimately it is showing you the most optimal way to proceed in thousands of post-flop scenarios. If you’re not getting value out of DTO within 30 days then you’re misusing the app, period. Highly recommend for poker players of ANY skill level. Whether you understand GTO play or not. It can only help your game so why not use it?

DTO is an awesome learning tool for advanced poker players who want to improve their game against tough opponents. However, its educational value would be greatly improved by being less of a black box - there’s never any explanation or context given for why a given line is optimal. I get that there’s value in trying to deduce it yourself, but some times I’m just completely baffled, like spots where anything but donk betting is considered a blunder. Or like, why certain hands are selected as mandatory river bluffs on 4 flush boards. If you could just give a little hint as to the solvers rationale that would be awesome. I’m a related vein, explaining the scoring system would be nice. My other change is request is: it seems like villains hand is almost always selected for maximal troll value. Like, it seems like you’re trying to teach us not to be results oriented by often having the optimal line involve us barreling into the nuts, but I think this backfired by making it a more frustrating experience. Like, we already know what it feels like to blast off into the nuts. Also when I replay a spot after making a mistake, k owing villains hand makes it harder to be unbiased. At least you could keep it hidden until you reach showdown, but a next level improvement would be to randomize it within the set of hands they could take a line with. Ultimately these are smallish complaints; it’s definitely a great product for serious players looking for an automated trainer.
