How the answer is decided
Every hand is checked against the solution book that powers progressGTO: an approximation of equilibrium for 8-max tournaments with ante, with a modelled postflop. A choice counts as correct when the book plays that action at least half of the time, and as mixed when it plays it between 20% and 50%. Many hands are played with a mix of actions, so the percentage matters more than the verdict.

Questions
What is the spot of the day?
One tournament preflop situation a day: a position, a stack size and four hands. You decide to open or fold each hand and then see what the solution book does with it.
Is it free?
Yes. The spot of the day is free, with no account. The full app has trainers for open ranges, defending the big blind, push/fold and ICM, and it is free during the beta.
Which tournaments does it apply to?
8-max multi-table tournaments with an ante at stack sizes from 8 to 100 big blinds, played as chip EV. Final tables and bubbles with ICM pressure change the ranges.
Free tools by progressGTO. The ranges come from our own solution book (8-max MTT, ante, chip EV): an approximation with a modelled postflop, not an exact solution.
