Assigning a profile
Profiles are assigned from the Dashboard. Each profile card shows the archetype’s name, a one-line description, and a behavior radar summarizing its tendencies (looseness, aggression and related dimensions).
| Element | Brief |
|---|---|
| GTO (default) | The neutral assumption: the villain plays equilibrium. No adjustment is applied. |
| Archetype cards | Ready-made player types — from tight-passive up to maniac — ordered by looseness and aggression so similar types sit together. |
| Behavior radar | A quick visual of how the archetype deviates: how wide it plays, how often it barrels, how sticky it calls. |
What a profile changes
Under the hood a profile is an action model: for each street and situation it describes how that player type responds — what they continue with versus a bet, what they raise, how position and stack depth modify it. During a hand, the villain’s assumed range is re-weighted action by action according to this model instead of the equilibrium assumption.
The engines consume that adjusted range differently:
| Engine | Effect of the profile |
|---|---|
| GTO | None — pure equilibrium ignores profiles by design. |
| GTO+ | A measured shift of the baseline strategy toward the profitable direction. See GTO & GTO+. |
| Exploit | Full best-response against the profiled range. See Exploit. |
Picking the right archetype
A quick field guide for the common types:
| Archetype | Telltale signs |
|---|---|
| Tight-passive / Nit | Folds too much, raises only with the top of the range. Attack their capped ranges; fold to their aggression. |
| Calling station | Calls down with anything reasonable. Value bet thinner, stop bluffing. |
| TAG reg | Solid and aggressive. Stay close to baseline; small adjustments only. |
| LAG reg | Wide and aggressive but competent. Widen your defends; pick spots carefully. |
| Maniac | Raises relentlessly regardless of holdings. Let them bluff; call down wider. |
| Recreational | Erratic, mixes passive and wild lines. Prefer the measured GTO+ shift over hard exploits. |
