This doesn't consider the post-flop strategy though. Since heads-up limit holdem has been solved, it would be interesting to look at the EV of the hand with the optimal play. I would think hands like 22 should have been weaker than show down value suggested..

weakly solved. What was shown is essentially a optimal solution for playing against itself. Not an abitrary villain of unknown tendencies.

Besides, limit is dead.

This is mostly untrue, to my understanding.

It was not solved to maximally exploit a bad villain, but it was solved to be unexploitable, and therefore unbeatable.

It would make mountains of chips vs 99%+ of players, probably at 80%+ of the possible rate.

No, it's a solution that loses very slowly vs. an opponent that plays optimally against its strategy. Meaning bluffs and calls at optimal percentages KNOWING the percentages of the program.
Good luck with that decision tree for 1.3 trillion hands!
Actually this EV is the by-product of solving the game. U of Alberta must save it somewhere.. only if we can access it..
