I think solvers are most valuable at higher stakes where players already play closer to GTO. At micro/low stakes (NL2–NL25), opponents make so many exploitable mistakes that strict solver lines aren’t always practical. Still, using solvers to learn fundamentals and understand why certain plays work can really help build a strong base for the future.

I haven't had the opportunity to use solvers, but I have faced several rivals who I think would be using a program because of the way they played their hand! salutes

Have not tried them yet but thought they are more aimed at mid stakes and high stakes. But even at low stakes helps to know how you are meant to play but the ideal plays at low levels may not always be optimal with the erratic plays at low level.

Solvers can help low-stakes players, but their impact is limited if basic fundamentals aren’t mastered first. They provide insights into optimal play, bet sizing, and ranges, allowing players to understand mistakes and improve decision-making. At low stakes, most opponents make obvious errors, so learning basic strategy, bankroll management, and tilt control often yields greater results than relying solely on solvers. Solvers are more useful for understanding advanced situations, preparing for higher stakes, and developing long-term thinking, but they cannot replace consistent practice and fundamental skill-building at the start of a poker journey.
