Jonathan Little demonstrates Peak GTO's new stats section for studying poker in 2026. He shows how to identify leaks using analytics, train specific weaknesses like river aggression and turn probes, and use the ELO rating system to track improvement across different positions and stack depths.

Most players struggle with river decisions and turn probes. Use analytics to find your weaknesses. Train specific spots repeatedly.

Mastering Poker with Data-Driven Training:

  • Find your leaks fast - The stats section tracks every hand you play and shows exactly where you're losing ELO points across different streets and positions
  • River play is tough for everyone - Jonathan reveals even he struggles with river aggression, losing ELO consistently on river decisions in cash games
  • Turn probes need special attention - Most players including pros struggle with turn probe opportunities, especially from the big blind facing checks
  • Train with purpose - The software suggests specific drills based on your weaknesses rather than random practice, making study time more efficient
  • Button play is harder than it looks - Wide ranges from the button create tricky spots where bet sizing errors are common, even with top pair hands
  • Stack depth matters - Players typically struggle more at 100 big blinds deep than at 30-40 blinds because deeper play requires more precision
  • GTO plus logic wins - Understanding why solvers make decisions helps you adjust exploitatively against real opponents who don't play perfectly
