I was going through the initial stages of designing something similar myself for my own research, but this is pretty much what I was looking for. For my next advanced poker book, I am planning on doing more research into post-flop play, looking into balancing plays, flop texture, raise sizes, and range-vs-range considerations. This allows me to do exactly that. By focusing only on a specific flop, you can do a more detailed tree search with fewer abstraction concerns.
As somehomelessguy shows above, you can create your own detailed pre-flop distributions, specify a flop and betting abstractions (including different abstractions for the 2 players), and then solve. You can explore the game tree both during the convergence or after you’re done iterating. There’s a simple interface to walk down the actions in the tree, and can even specify turns and rivers that you’re interested in investigating. While currently the only export method is picture files, I’ve talked with him and he will likely implement a text export option in the future.
He’s also been extremely helpful and responsive to me in answering my questions and fixing/implementing small tweaks that I’ve asked for. So I wanted to give him the props he deserves.
