GTO Wizard hotkey + workflow mastery
GTO Wizard in the browser is fast if you know the hotkeys. It's slow if you don't. The difference between a 90-second range lookup and a 10-second range lookup compounds over a year of study; a player who saves a minute per lookup gets back hours per week. Spend the first hour building muscle memory before learning anything new about poker.
Chapter focus Build a five-minute solver-study workflow in GTO Wizard, executed without mouse navigation.
Load-bearing idea
The friction of solver work scales with how many decisions you study, not how deeply you study each one. Cutting per-lookup time from 90 seconds to 10 seconds means studying 9× as many spots in the same hours. The cap on solver study isn’t compute or subscription — it’s how fast you can get the question into the interface and the answer out.
The five-minute workflow:
- Open the position — preflop tab, set stake/format/depth in two clicks.
- Filter by action sequence — keystroke through the action history rather than dragging the mouse.
- Read the range — two-second scan of the 13×13 grid for the indicated action.
- Inspect EV — click the hand of interest, read the ev_table for fold/call/raise/3bet.
- Capture — screenshot or solver-runs export to the sibling repo.
Hotkey catalog lives in GTO Wizard’s settings; print or pin it.
Retrieval prompts
- What is the keystroke for advancing through an action sequence in the preflop tab?
- How do you compare two hero strategies (e.g. small open vs limp) in one view?
- What does the EV column report — chips, bb, or pot fraction?
- How do you export a range as a PNG or as a hand-history-importable string?
Re-derivation log
Time yourself on five preflop lookups before the workflow drill, then again after a 30-minute keyboard session. Record both times in ~/poker-curriculum/notebooks/gto-wizard-speed-baseline.md. Goal: cut average lookup time by 50% within a week.
