A river you have never opened still gets a full strategy. The runout is not pre-computed: in the Precision simulation type, Strategies solves it on demand, for whatever card completes the board. Choose any final card and you can study that river.
A solved river: the completed board with the river's action row and its bet sizes.
Reach a river node first
A river only solves once you have built the line to it.
- Set up the spot in Game Configuration.
- Step through preflop, flop and turn.
- Pick the river card.
The solve is quick, but expect a few seconds rather than an instant result. Once it finishes, the river shows a full strategy: the range, the action frequencies and the equity graph. The Range View and Syntax Search covers how to read them.
Configuring a Spot and Navigating Streets walks through building the line. Simulation Types covers which solve to run.
Bet sizes on the river
On the flop and turn, each player acts with a single bet size. On the river, a player's row can show several bet sizes next to Check. The two players are not always offered the same ones.
A ring marks the seat badge of the player who is next to act.
These sizes are not fixed by the spot. Each row follows the Customize sizing configuration for that seat.
Set your own sizes with Customize
To change the sizes, open Customize, the sliders icon on the river node. The button appears once the solve finishes rendering.
Each player has a Bet sizes list and a Raise sizes list. Use the plus on either list to add a size, and the x beside a size to remove one.
Cancel, Reset and Apply close, revert or confirm the changes.
Changing the line solves it again
Changing the board card or the action line after the river solves takes you to a different spot. A river spot solves again the same way.
Aggregated study stays on the flop
The river shows the Range and Matrix views only. The Boards tab, the aggregated flop view, is not on the river, because it is flop-only. Aggregated Reports covers it.
To solve a river of your own, open this spot and walk the line to the river.

Where to go next
- Configuring a Spot and Navigating Streets shows how to build the line to any river.
- The Range View and Syntax Search explains how to read the strategy once it solves.
- Simulation Types covers the simulation modes: Precision and Expand in the panel's chooser, with Preflop Only described in the configuration guide.
- Solution Quality and Exploitability explains how solution quality is measured and graded.
- If a spot will not load, or a solved river does not look right, Fixing Common Problems has the fixes.
