3. This is my biggest problem with the program. It doesn't recommend varying your play due to position. Position is so incredibly important in deepstack NLHE, far more important than the strength of the cards. T8o is far stronger on the button than AT is under the gun.
4. Here is my second biggest problem with the program. It seems to (other than calling raises with small PP's) ignore implied odds. Next to position, implied odds are the second most important factor in decision making in deepstack NLHE. It is almost always ok to call a pot-sized-bet on the flop with an open-ended str8 draw on a rainbow unpaired board if the money is fairly deep. You will usually get paid off if you hit on the turn. This is linked with the next problem I have.
5. Stack sizes. The chart sorta gets into this, but it points out an absolute in terms of number of BB's to call a raise with a pocket pair. However, if you have doubled up to 200bb's on a table, limped with 55 and someone raises to 12bb who also had 200bb in their stack, its a mistake not to call, because your implied odds are there.
6. You are only raising 4% of your hands (AA,KK,QQ,JJ,AK,AQ), people (even fish) are going to know you have a great hand every time you raise and are going to stay out of your way.
