Setting Up Drills

The Custom Drills in Lucid GTO allow you to set up a specific spot, and practice that scenario over and over.

For example, let’s say you want to practice c-betting on the flop, or playing against a c-bet, or playing against a check-raise after you c-bet the flop. You can set up a custom drill for any specific spot in the game tree.

Within the drills, you can practice one specific move, one street, or the entire hand.

For instance, if you want to practice c-betting on the flop, you can set up a drill that practices just the c-bet. You can also run a drill that runs Lucid’s reaction to your flop decision, and subsequently practice against a check-raise, or practice the next street.

Let’s go over how to set up a custom drill in Lucid GTO:

How To Set Up A Custom Drill

When you log into Lucid, you’ll see the Game Types menu. Click on one of the game types, and you’ll go to a screen that incudes the “Play Custom Drill” selection. Click on that tab to begin your custom drill.

Once you’re in the Custom Drill menu, you’ll see the following choices:

Stack (bb): Choose the effective stack for your drill.

Street: Choose between preflop and postflop drills.

Once you’ve picked your stack size and preflop/postflop, you’ll then see the following choice come up:

Action: Pick single-raised pot, 3-bet pot, 4-bet pot, or custom. Custom allows you to set up any specific spot you wish.

Once you’ve chosen your spot, you can then choose the positions you want for your drill. If you chose Custom, you can also choose what action each position performs in the drill.

Hero position: Choose what position you want to play in the drill.

Villain position: Choose what position you want Lucid to play in the drill.

After your positions, actions, and flop are locked in, you’ll see the next set of choices appear:

Ends after: Pick whether you want the drill to end after the first decision, after one street, or after the entire hand has played out.

Flop Filters: Pick one or more specific cards that will appear on the flop. Leave these filters blank if you want to practice random flops. You can set a specific flop by inputting all 3 cards. You can also practice only Ace-high flops, for example, by inputting just an 'A' for the top card.

Once you’ve made all of your choices from these menus, click “Start Drill” to begin your drill.
