Daut    United States. Dec 18 2017 18:14. Posts 8955
Right now I have a 5 year old macbook pro which isn't suited for poker, and want to buy a laptop more geared towards poker.

Need recommendations for laptops, and also for all the necessary software I need, such as PIO, monkersolver, etc. Thanks!

Don't get laptop for Pio. If you do get asus rog probably. PS mac is gay.

I personally built a desktop with 128gb ram to run preflop PIO, you should most definitely get a desktop if you plan on using solvers, laptops won't cut it.

I still use my old computer to play and the new one so far has been strictly to solve. Haven't tried monkersolver though so no opinion on that.

Im not sure what to do tomorrow when I see her, should I shake her hand?? -Floofy

I haven't looked much into specific models and what poker demands these days, but I bought a new laptop a few days ago with an Intel 8th gen cpu and it's really fast and efficient for the money. A quick google search taught me that they're up to 40%-40% faster than the previous generation. No matter what it is you're buying, I certainly wouldn't advise buying the previous gen. Not sure if AMD has good competition for this either.

fuck I should just sell some of my Pokemon cards, if no one stakes that is what I will have to do - lostaccount

the threadripper is generally considered to be an absolute beast at solving, and very expensive. I didn't get it myself, since i travel a lot. I rent out a server that has 256gig ram and run my sims on that 24/7. I can log onto it from my laptop.

macs are the perfect laptops if you're using them for work....
thought they're gay before getting one too, turns out they're awesome

but yeah don't go for a laptop if you want to run PIO, if you build a laptop that could efficiently run it, it will kind of kill the purpose of the laptop itself ( mobility, light weightiness etc.)

Macs are great for work and overall usage.

As for solvers and other computational intensive stuff: I would probably advise to not use any personal computer for anything serious. I don't have much experience with solvers so not sure how much they need, but for example I don't think I would want to buy equipment for training deep neural networks at home, when I can use huge servers either at university for free or buy the computing power in a cloud from amazon/google/... Personal computers are good for testing/POC stuff etc., for big computing it is better to use big servers that were built for that.

Alpha Go will solve poker in faster than you can say "laptop"

How's this look for a build? Will use for poker, coding, gaming, and some general use.

You can get by with much less than that it will just take a couple minutes or less depending but monkersolver and preflop pio I don't know. I'm just waiting for these releases instead https://www.fulldecksolutions.com/ You don't have to wait for it too long you can stop at 0.5%. But sure if you want to go ham then go for it. If you don't go for the preflop then top of the line laptop is probably good enough was just slightly concerned about overheating but I don't know. I guess there are script type stuff that I haven't looked into that you might need more power for.

There's also crev which doesn't require much power

When are you going to win another big tournament Ryan Daut? I'm a fan. When am I going to see you on pokergo?

as I have not been playing online poker for many years now, can someone please elaborate how does these solvers work exactly?

You need to set up a range of your opponent and in every situation it gives you the exact move to make?

I don't have experience with the newer solvers (that will soon change however), but PIO's been out for quite a while: given enough time and computing power, it solves preflop too in HU spots (we're using it for HU HT's and spins). You can work postflop with the optimal preflop range as a starting point to build a GTO strategy.

You can do what you said as well: inputting a perceived range of your opponent in any given spot, and your own range, then it calculates optimal strategies on different board textures. Only works for HU spots though (like CO vs BB, EP vs BU for example).

Monkersolver supposedly does this in multiway spots and PLO as well.

Edit: afaik there are other solvers as well, which take way less time than PIO for solving preflop strategies. the name escapes me though.

My favourite line is Bet/Fold. I bet, you fold.Last edit: 23/12/2017 06:30

You may consider purchasing a removable hard drive. Choosing a portable HDD in the 2.5" form factor is a simple matter. You should pay attention to the duration of the warranty, the features of the case (water resistance / shock resistance) and the price. You need to choose a stationary external HDD 3.5" more consciously, since the characteristics of the "filling" can greatly affect the experience of use. In addition, you should understand that you can recover information from them using services that deal with https://www.salvagedata.com/.
