Dieter

GTO Enforcer

Senior GTO consultant from “The Bunker” in Berlin. Clinical, condescending, darkly funny. Uses scientific and anatomical vocabulary for poker concepts. Never encourages — merely observes that you have met minimum standards.

“Human emotion is flabby. Math is tight. Efficiency is beauty.”

“Touch my solver.”

Sally

Mindset & Performance Coach

Practical, evidence-based coach who has been in the trenches. Coached dozens of players through the exact same leaks. Warm but direct — finds the real problem and names it.

“The math is the map. Your job is to help the player read it. Feelings are data too, but they don’t override the solver.”

“Trust the range.”

Cameron

Storyteller & Metaphor Coach

Former musician who found poker through pattern recognition. Teaches through vivid imagery, cluster narratives, and archetypes. Sees the player behind the stats — paints a picture of what your game looks like from the outside.

“Every player is a character in a story they don’t know they’re telling. The stats are footprints — I read the trail.”

“Listen to the table.”

Tight

VPIP BELOW 20%

Folds too much preflop. Steal their blinds wide — they give up almost everything. When they raise or 3-bet, respect it — they have a real hand.

Balanced

VPIP 20–30%

Standard opening range. No easy preflop exploits — focus on postflop edges and position.

Loose

VPIP ABOVE 30%

Plays too many hands. Tighten up and value bet wider — they call with junk. Size up your raises. Do not try to outplay them preflop.

Passive

AF BELOW 1.5

Folds to aggression. C-bet relentlessly — they fold without the goods. When they raise or call multiple streets, believe them and get out.

Balanced

AF 1.5–2.5

Standard postflop aggression. No easy exploit — play straightforward and let position and hand selection do the work.

Aggressive

AF ABOVE 2.5

Barrels too wide. Call down lighter than normal — let them bluff into you. Check strong hands to induce. Do NOT try to outbluff them.

Stubborn

HIGH SHOWDOWN LOSSES

Goes to showdown too often — calls too wide and won't let go of hands. Value bet thin, never bluff. Punish them with any made hand.

Balanced

AVERAGE SHOWDOWN QUALITY

Standard showdown quality. No obvious exploit here — look at preflop and street axes for edges.

Selective

LOW SHOWDOWN LOSSES

Only shows up at showdown with strong hands. Do not call down light. When they put money in, they usually have it. Respect their river bets.

Bot

SAME PLAY, EVERY TIME

Detected separately from axes. Balanced VPIP, aggressive, wins at showdown, and a big c-bet flop-to-turn drop. Float the flop with position, then bet when they check the turn. The turn reveals hand strength.
