strategy

Node locking

Also: node-locking, nodelock

A solver technique where you fix (lock) one player's strategy at a decision point to match how a real opponent plays — for example, 'this player never bluff-raises here' — and let the solver find the best exploit against it.

Example. Node-locking the opponent to fold 70% to turn bets, the solver recommends barrelling almost the whole range.
