GGPoker and GTO Wizard partnered on Tuesday night to offer a new approach to streamed poker, using a different type of real-time analysis.
The stream was the final table of the $10,300 buy-in GGMillion$. It showed the live GTO analysis of players’ actions, assessing the ideal move for each situation. The commentary team of GGPoker ambassador Jeff Gross and Joey Ingram evaluated the real-time analysis.
GGPoker hyped the innovation before the final table stream.
“For the first time, poker fans will get a front-row seat to the true strategic battleground — and experience exactly what separates the world’s best players from the rest. The future of poker broadcasting is here. See it unfold live on May 6.”
GGMillion$ Final Table Stream
As the stream unfolded on Tuesday night, the GTO Wizard real-time analysis was used in small doses. It showed the ideal line for each hand, the poker ranges, and more strategic analysis.
Gross and Ingram commented on the feature as they got used to the innovation and analyzed the GTO Wizard outputs. GGPoker promoted it as enhanced coverage.
The use of the real time analysis is interesting considering the recent controversy surrounding Nacho Barbero and ACR in regards to using real time assistance tools. There has been much debate in the poker world regarding the proliferation of these tools with many worrying about them becoming too prevalent even in live poker. These worries led to the 2025 WSOP adopting new rules that limits electronic devices at the final three tables of any streamed event.
So in some ways the introduction of this feature on the stream contradicts poker’s general attempt to distance itself from such technology during real time action. But Gross responded to such questions as a viewer questioned why the stream was promoting solvers.
“I would look at this as more a tool to better your game and its mathematical solutions. Hey man, the information’s out there — this isn’t 2004. People know there are opening ranges, things you can learn… There was a period of time when it was overwhelming… Now, if you want to learn and do the work, you can do it.”
Time will tell if this type of broadcast will catch on and become popular with viewers or not.
