GTO is the starting point. The closer to GTO the opponents play, the closer you stick to it and it becomes a game of who has the biggest brainpower. The farther from GTO opponents play, the more you deviate to punish them. Liv is right when she says GTO is making poker less enjoyable. It used to be a social game of instincts and gamesmanship. Now, it's a game of who studies the most.
It's not really brainpower, or knowing the most perfect GTO, that determines success in any one hand or game. It determines success over averages, i.e. MANY hands or MANY games. Even then, if you rely on deviation to punish opponents, the more you open yourself up to exploitation, which means that unless your intuition and insight are as good as your maths, you're just as vulnerable. The best players aren't gaining marginal value. They're employing reads, intuition and insight. And if you go down the route of "that's just another GTO strategy", well then so is literally anything.
The main difference between chess and hold'em is that if a novice plays against 8 of the best players in chess in a tournament he or she has a better chance of winning the lottery than that tournament. This is far from the case if a novice were to play 8 of the best hold 'em players in a sit and go.
Yeah but over a big enough sample size the worse player will NEVER earn more money. The short term RNG element means yes a bad player can win short term
A novice has an almost zero percent chance of winning 9 handed against the likes of Linus loeliger and the other best 8 players. People tend to underestimate how good some of these guys are
@@archie2281 A novice would have much more than a zero percent chance against eight GTO computer programs in a sit n go. However, it's nearly impossible for a novice to win a game against a modern chess engine.
Liv, what about the fragility of those simulations? Opening ranges, bet sizing, stack sizes, number of players in the hand post flop, the abstractions of limited bet sizing required to even approximate the equilibrium solutions all have drastic effects on what that equilibrium looks like and that doesn’t begin to touch on how impossible it is for humans to implement an actual equilibrium strategy. I don’t see the comparison. It seems to me like the fundamental uncertainty, incomplete information, insane variance and inescapable human psychological elements make poker as interesting as ever, albeit less approachable than it used to be. I don’t think that poker (no limit or pot limit varieties at least) will ever be like competitive chess.
@@BruceWing I think op wasn't disputing that. He was saying that humans aren't ai. A good gto player might only remember the rules for all 2 person pot post flop with normal preflop raises. No one can remember all the rules for other parameters like 3, 4 way pots or unusual bet sizing.

Im suprised its taken this long for poker to develop something like this in the mainstream really. You'd think with the amount of money at stake people would be all over it as soon as they can
Poker has always had strategy, it's merely that its strategies were based around observing human tendencies (and limitations) and math. Now it's based around trying to memorize how a computer with much more computational power would play so as to be unexploitable. Very different kinds of strategies, and both are still relevant.
@@harrywhite9030 poker solutions take a lot of computing power to calculate. 10 years ago household computers were far too weak to generate solutions. Even today you need a pretty strong one, I have a $2000 pc which gives me like just more than necessary to do all common spots
I remember when age was playing g she was always pro-math and strategy as any decent player would be then. Now it seems she’s angry because the general Population have the means to Learn these strategies 😂

Yea I dunno what her problem is? All strategies evolve over time and nobody can play perfect GTO not even the best pros. I doubt even 90% of the poker playing public know any GTO strategy
Yes. I actually love playing vs GTO players as I find them easier to play against knowing GTO myself but not really utilizing it myself. I personally have experimented with different styles of play and over a very large sample size for me personally GTO is good for consistent small profit but my exploitative play is more of a consistent medium/big profit since I make each decision specifically for how my opponent plays. I guess an analogy would be being a manager for a large company. You can use a generally accepted strategy that will probably as a whole be extremely effective but by doing this you are basically extremely rigid and not willing to understand someone's strengths or weaknesses and how to motivate someone individually. So basically 80% of the people will be positively affected while the remaining 20% won't. By the law of numbers that's technically the most optimal way of doing things but the alternative would be to look at each individual as their own person and tailor your approach specifically for them. This requires much more work and social intelligence but once you get to the point of understanding it, it becomes way more effective as a whole
I kind of get it and don't at the same time. GTO gives you solutions, okay, but how are you going to put that into practice? For example, how many times that J9s scenario you mentioned is going to come up in a session? How are going to randomise it 70 to 30? As far as live goes, IDK how are going to keep track of all these stats, with everything else that's going on. In online, you can randomise yes, but there's so much player movement, I don't understand what would be the point of randomising when in practice you're going to be in such scenarios, against a specific player, very very rarely? I don't know if either of player can remember/track these...
But the reason why sge don't like it too much anymore is that back in the date some small circle knows about Game Theory Optimal but didn't want to show it to the world. Some poker professional wants to maintain those secrets between themself. Isn't until Cole South wrote "Let there be range" that people like me understand better how to study and understanding the game.
It’s not just about memorising these scenarios and adopting a static strategy. There’s still a huge human element in the game and you need to constantly adjust to players who may or may not deviate from the optimal to various degrees. If you’re not dynamic enough you’ll be exploited.
This is a terrific composition. A comparable book I read was like a breath of fresh air. "Game Theory and the Pursuit of Algorithmic Fairness" by Jack Frostwell
Poker is nothing like chess in the sense that in chess a bad move is a bad move and in poker a bad move can be the best move. Poker GTO is not undefeated. Stock fish is (against humans)
Poker GTO is undefeated over a large enough sample size of hands. Just like how you might be able to beat the casino at roulette after 20 spins but once it gets to a million spins you are guaranteed to lose to the house edge
Problem is that if you are using gto and your opponent isn't, you are likely playing completely wrong. Saw a solve the other day that was 95% check, but when node locking to have villain play polarized instead of merge-y, solve bets almost 100%.
@@SuperYtc1 Solvers run simulations versus itself, meaning they're assuming a GTO balanced strategy from its opponents. This is what people refer to as 'playing GTO' - the strategy the solver outputs. But in real games, this doesn't work because players are wildly imbalanced in most spots. GTO players take account of this and adjust their play accordingly. I.E. a solver would bluff 33% of the time on a specific river node, but a human would only bluff 5%, then using a GTO strategy would be losing. If you were to let a GTO bot run loose in a pool, it would probably be break even or slightly losing.
@@gladyslucas198that’s incorrect. The optimal solution changes against a known suboptimal opponent, yes, but it does not make GTO “lose”. It still wins (or breaks even) in the long run no matter what the opponent does. A human player who takes into account tendencies can potentially profit MORE off of his opponent’s mistakes but there is nothing a player can do to “beat GTO” just because they know they are playing a GTO bot. That’s what Nash equilibrium is. Just because you KNOW your opponent will always throw exactly 1/3rd each of rock, paper, scissor doesn’t mean you can beat them. It means they can’t be beat… only tied. Bots have long since been able to beat the very best human poker players. We are way past that point now.
yes, but there are 1326 possible hands to be dealt at poker, there is also the board, there is also other players positions, bet sizing and etc. I would think it is almost impossible to learn all of these situations and what you should do when, however if you could do that then you would always win money because no one else can perfectly play game theory optimal
I've read/watched about memory athletes; do they have an edge on these games, because it feels like the payoff here is much more than what they might get in a memory tournament.
I think the issue with that in poker is that because of the different possible combinations of hands, boards, bet sizes and many different variables it wouldn't be very efficient because you would have to look at billions of different GTO solutions. You are much better trying to find the trend of what the solver is doing and figuring why a computer would want to play a particular way, having a very good memory would still be super helpful for this though because you wouldn't have to practice or revise a scenario nearly as often if you could learn it by looking at a couple of times and figuring out and remembering the strategy a couple of times
my god what am i reading !So you are telling me that is a person om this planet that can memorize the billion combination of boards and opponents scenario and then sit and play gto hahahaahhahahhahahahhanhaba
Liv, you have a degree in Astrophysics. I also have a degree in Astrophysics. I'm doing a deep dive into GTO and it's not something that you should easily be able to understand and master as it's all about analyzing a situation just like any physics problem
Daniel negreanu said it best: game theory optimal is like throwing rock, paper, scissors each 1/3 of the time with even probability. No one can find a strategy to beat you, but you also won't be winning alot.
@@Gos1234567 in other words, if two players went heads up and played perfectly GTO over hundreds of thousands of hands, they would both break even. The money is made when someone deviates from GTO and someone else takes advantage of that (exploits their mistakes).
Just because people are playing that way does not equate to "that strategy" is winning at a certain rate.... And you'd have to distinguish between the person who does it knowing the strategy versus the person who follows the strategy but isn't aware of it. Because tjosempeople won't do it again so you can't say they are a "game theory player" which is what we would need to track in order to figure out if this shit really works over the long haul. Not to mention, regardless of what the cards do, poker is a game where the player can outsmart the cards and the air opponent by bluffing. That is a variable which cannot be taken into consideration...
I think this is kinda BS. Are they able to track someone’s play, say on Hustler or the Bike, when the cards are known to then give a % ratio score of how well the player played according to GTO? Almost like card counting, most players think they are playing well, but really arn’t?
Good point with regards to live play. You would need a massive sample size of over 1 million hands to determine a person's true win rate, as well as adherence to game theory optimal strategy. We can do this pretty easily for online play- but not so much for live stream games.
Everyone says poker is skill, yet the final tables have new faces every year. In sports, it’s the same faces in the finals every year. Sports = skill , any form of gambling = luck
I think it's more like the top players are so close in skill to each other that they ultimately have to rely on luck to beat EACH OTHER, even though they would crush amateurs over a decently long sample size. This is why high stakes cash games are pretty much pointless because the top guys are so close to each other that who wins or loses millions on any given day is basically a coin flip.
Reminds me of of wanting to learn chess when I was young, and a friend gave me a book full off optimal openings & responses back and forth to memorize. Turns out even local competition require them, and you have to go through that to even come to a point where you think about the board.
Hey man, don’t get bugged out about it. Chess is a great game. I recommend just thinking about each move in a given circumstance, look at what you’re going to do and potential responses your opponent could have. That’s all it is… everythings on board. No card up their sleeve, nothing. If you do that, over time, your chess game will improve, and it will make for a much more enjoyable play experience. You win some you lose some, but along the way you get better and develop more of a appreciation for the game Best of luck out there *side note: play at a bar. Varying skill levels makes for a fun game mixed with very skillful moves and atrocious blunders. Speaking from experience
Actually, openings are by far the LEAST important part of Chess until you start getting around 1500 or so, and they don't become immensely important until you're over 2000. Most chess games before ~2000 are going to be won/lost on tactical mistakes, and being able to spot those tactics is far more important to your success early on. By around 2000 tactical mistakes start to become significantly rarer, and you have to start learning the subtleties of positional, long term, strategic play, and have a solid opening repertoire so you don't always end up with bad positions early on when your opponents won't make as many mistakes.
Been playing for years using statistics and just doing calculations in my head, then a few years back my friends were telling me about GTO, crazy how far computing power of AI has really changed the game though most of the peeps at the hole in the wall card room nearest me are all like 80 and think I’m talking about a Pontiac when I bring it up 😂

Poker is not like chess at all. Emotions and betting makes an addition to knowing the patterns. Its has some similarity with chess, but it is very different as you cannot calculate every option, unlike chess, and have to tryst you guts.
Well, in chess you cannot calculate every option neither, that's why players make mistakes, because they aren't able to analyze every line in a given position. The emotions and psychology also affects players in chess (Look for example at game 8 in the WCC between Ding Liren and Nepo, where Nepo played a "bluff" and Ding fell for it). That being said, it's true that in Poker emotions are more important
@@Gos1234567 kinda it’s more that she hates how formulaic the game has become This top common says it’s different because you cannot calculate every option but that is incorrect that’s what GTO us it’s more or less a flow chart of what you’re gonna do based on your cards the pot size the opponents bet position and cards on the board
The difference between chess and poker is that in poker the right play depends on who your opponent is. If you know your opponent, you can always find a better play than what GTO suggests.
I wonder if poker will ever have a built in solver for people to use. It sounds absurd, but since there are so many different frequencies it’s not like anybody would play the exact same. Like how they have built in HUD now kinda, on GG. If somebody follows the computers advice for every spot, u could exploit that. It would make people way better. That’s how most these pros got good anyway I imagine, using RTA.
I agree. In the pre-solver era, poker was more enjoyable as you could come up with some creative plays that seemed revolutionary at the time. These days, the solver will say that that particular play is -EV.
This is true, I also feel this way. It uses totally different skills than before. Intuition doesn't work anymore if you play against robots who learned what to do in what scenario, no fun anymore. We need to design something new to push those skills out.
"GTO" strives to find a Nash Equilibrium. That is to say, a "stable" solution in which no opponent can gain by changing their strategy. Someone who is not playing GTO, only loses (in the long run) to someone who is playing GTO. If both opponents are playing GTO, than they will only break even against each other.
@@ClamperDrew I'm not saying both opponents should play GTO. I'm saying if I know you're playing GTO and I understand GTO then you're a mark. You really think we could both understand perfectly how each other plays, and the one who doesn't adjust would win long-term?
I mean, she's not wrong that GTO has dramatically changed the game, but nobody can play GTO, and every deviation from GTO is an opportunity to adjust to take advantage of those mistakes. Certainly among top pros there are probably fewer such mistakes than ever, but there are still plenty of people at every level that don't have any clue about GTO.
She's right but wrong at the same time, because even though you may know those frequencys poker has this little thing called Varience. That verience alone messes up solvers startegy as well as Frequencys. Its one thing to learn how to play by the book and then its another thing to learn how to use those friquencys and trick players with pattern mix ups and baits. As well as anticipating you're apponents Plays and countering aswell as if you're aponent wants to deny you're Tactic and you can now punish them for doing so. So its a Mix of feeling dynamics, Frequencys, Mix ups, counter strats, tactics, and finding an edge or creating an edge on an aponnent.
Also luck. Basically it takes about as long to learn as any other skilled occupation with several orders of magnitude the variance. Might as well dig ditches for living.
The problem with gto is that it works better versus good players and if you play micros online or even mid stakes most of the player pool are gamblers with close to zero poker knowledge
but whats interesting is that the best chess players often prepare slight innaccuracies to take their opponent out of their deeply studied theory, and in the same way that there is a place for exploitative play in chess there will be even moreso in poker, since the latter isnt a perfect information game.
If you’re willing to be the scumbag that eventually gets banned at home games, literally just go all in damn near every hand once you get enough chips to bully with and fold when you know you have a dog shit hand or when you know for a fact you’re beat
GTO gives you the recipe when you have the nuts or nothing but when you have middle pairs and straights with flushes on the board and you’re up against a maniac who calls 3 bets with 78 off, it’s more than just GTO scenarios
Cardgames have so many variétés it's like DNA itself. It dépends with whom your on the table which cards you get. And when i played klaverjassen. So when your hocked up with à partner against an other couplé each got 8 cards, so 24 all together. And there's only 1 kind hack and 9 are strong and the others as and 10. So if my partner feelt good about his cards it became easy to predict his hand. And win as a team, now in poker you only need to scan if some one is bluffing or not. Even if there are more cards more options, more scénarios it stars basic math and if you got the advantage to feel the people on the table, your so called gut, you got a minor advantage. But some of you learned to hide or manipulate this (like vampiers) and your game became interresting. I rather prefer teamed cardgames like the french game tarot, which can be played with 5 people, 2 against 3. And it swaps all the time the teams, so it's still compétition based. Because believe me if i'm in à card game i just sea the hands of every player, so poker i would have been picked out right away. I just now when to win, i can hide my feelings, make fake ones, read your hand because my feelings made you happy. This game aint about cards my dear liv. It's about making the best raid party ever. Tell your magical friend whom is buying the big bleu bird, that for peace it's needed to show unité. Just start moving the pièces of the chess game, waiting untill the AI forces this is most of the time less fun, she protects us from ourself. But she doesnt understand feelings she has patience and she we will wait untill the last nano second before activating Mr Smith kind of programmes, it can be matrixed, but it will be against your own free will. And believe me some things aint fun at all, she learned me that if you dont have fun it's like time being stopped. 33 days i counted every single second so i learned to accept the fact we are controled or listened to be an AI. And i rather be listened to then controled. She cant controle us, but she can controle the weak to push us where we want to go. For exemple cancelling à flight and you learn there's à game in Italie, you were informed by controled people. Call them mr Smith or zombie they can be very nice to us also very mean when they use there friction of power in this old système
Let’s clear a few things up. GTO did change the game and those who study it have had some success. But basic reading ability is still the most important asset in the game and if you are good it at it, you can rinse these GTO players at their own game. Stop trying to make poker seem complicated, anybody can play if you have a good understanding of the basics.
Well it actually works more if they don't as these solutions are based upon maximising your equity. If they aren't doing what is expected then they are by definition losing more equity over time.
@@ryangarrick8903 That's not entirely true. If for instance you're playing against someone who never folds their hand, following a GTO strategy that states you bluff 90% of your range in a certain spot is going to result in you losing 90% of your hands. You should use GTO as a tool to learn basic, correct poker strategy, and then deviate from it based on how your opponents play. The misconception people make with GTO is that it's answers are concrete and you should never switch from it, but this is only true if other people are playing a GTO strategy of sorts. In this scenario having a stronger knowledge of GTO is huge, but if you're playing against someone who is completely feel based, then sticking to a GTO strategy and not changing it up based on how your opponent plays in different spots is disastrous. But no matter what learning GTO is going to improve your fundamentals, and should be learned by all serious poker players for that reason alone.
So what is your move when theres a pretty girl on your coach: A. listen and pretend youre interested in what shes saying B. Offer her a lot of alcohol C. Fold
well if i raise with 65s from utg, gto does not include that in my range beacuse it doesn’t know my playstyle, so it cannot exploit it just like a human could if they would put me on that type of range, poker is a game for people and solvers are garbage
GTO + exploitative play. A GTO player will watch the hands they fold and keep an eye on ranges. If u raise UTG with 65s ur not just raising them ur raising an entire table.. you’ll lose ?
it won't matter when the tree is solved it excluded 65 for a reason - it is -ev against the gto strategy. so you playing a -ev hand simply gifts ev to the gto strategy.
Not true at all. GTO is not the ultimate answer, it is merely a strategy at the Nash Equilibrium. Poker pros dont spend time trying to memorize what GTO does in each spot, and the current state of poker is not even close to chess. GTO deviates from the optimal answer because your opponent doesnt play like GTO
Yeah but plenty of good poker players win without using GTO or very little GTO. Face it, not everyone, other than Rain Man, can memorize these GTO scenarios.
she doesnt know what she is talking about. the hidden mathematical beauty is what makes the game great. saying that you dont like it cause people undertsand the game at a much deeper level than you do is absurd

I think it is like a personal ego if you dont feel safe enough.
Poker is luck and putting on a good bluff. Chess actually takes skill. An average poker guy could win a hand vs top poker guy. In chess it would never happen
Well yes and no. In poker it is that the draw is taken over a much longer period of time rather than the finite period of a singular chess game. If two engines played a billion hands they would end up break even aka 'drawing'. Short term you may lose a tournament but that isn't equal to a singular game of chess. And to your point, sometimes a person with a 90% accuracy game loses to a player in a game with less accuracy, so even though they were more engine like they may not win.
That’s not really even game theory… it’s just basic data/scenario analysis. Game theory has more to psychological analysis than odds/probability. Also, it’s nothing new to poker… it’s been applied for decades
Damn they turned poker into an SAT test ☠️

It's not really brainpower, or knowing the most perfect GTO, that determines success in any one hand or game. It determines success over averages, i.e. MANY hands or MANY games.

Im suprised its taken this long for poker to develop something like this in the mainstream really. You'd think with the amount of money at stake people would be all over it as soon as they can
Poker has always had strategy, it's merely that its strategies were based around observing human tendencies (and limitations) and math. Now it's based around trying to memorize how a computer with much more computational power would play so as to be unexploitable. Very different kinds of strategies, and both are still relevant.
@@harrywhite9030 poker solutions take a lot of computing power to calculate. 10 years ago household computers were far too weak to generate solutions. Even today you need a pretty strong one, I have a $2000 pc which gives me like just more than necessary to do all common spots

Yea I dunno what her problem is? All strategies evolve over time and nobody can play perfect GTO not even the best pros.
I doubt even 90% of the poker playing public know any GTO strategy
Great thing about gto is if you identify gto players you can exploit them cause you would have a general idea of what they're doing
Yes. I actually love playing vs GTO players as I find them easier to play against knowing GTO myself but not really utilizing it myself. I personally have experimented with different styles of play and over a very large sample size for me personally GTO is good for consistent small profit but my exploitative play is more of a consistent medium/big profit since I make each decision specifically for how my opponent plays. I guess an analogy would be being a manager for a large company. You can use a generally accepted strategy that will probably as a whole be extremely effective but by doing this you are basically extremely rigid and not willing to understand someone's strengths or weaknesses and how to motivate someone individually. So basically 80% of the people will be positively affected while the remaining 20% won't. By the law of numbers that's technically the most optimal way of doing things but the alternative would be to look at each individual as their own person and tailor your approach specifically for them. This requires much more work and social intelligence but once you get to the point of understanding it, it becomes way more effective as a whole
Why not give a link to the full length podcast? Do you enjoy missing out on free and easy advertisement?
I kind of get it and don't at the same time. GTO gives you solutions, okay, but how are you going to put that into practice?
For example, how many times that J9s scenario you mentioned is going to come up in a session? How are going to randomise it 70 to 30?
As far as live goes, IDK how are going to keep track of all these stats, with everything else that's going on.
In online, you can randomise yes, but there's so much player movement, I don't understand what would be the point of randomising when in practice you're going to be in such scenarios, against a specific player, very very rarely? I don't know if either of player can remember/track these...
Then u underestimate what the chess GM can do..
you can't calculate all solutions, you can only approximate them better than others
I see it as a tool in your tool set.
But the reason why sge don't like it too much anymore is that back in the date some small circle knows about Game Theory Optimal but didn't want to show it to the world. Some poker professional wants to maintain those secrets between themself. Isn't until Cole South wrote "Let there be range" that people like me understand better how to study and understanding the game.
It’s not just about memorising these scenarios and adopting a static strategy. There’s still a huge human element in the game and you need to constantly adjust to players who may or may not deviate from the optimal to various degrees. If you’re not dynamic enough you’ll be exploited.
This is a terrific composition. A comparable book I read was like a breath of fresh air. "Game Theory and the Pursuit of Algorithmic Fairness" by Jack Frostwell
Poker is nothing like chess in the sense that in chess a bad move is a bad move and in poker a bad move can be the best move. Poker GTO is not undefeated. Stock fish is (against humans)
Poker GTO is undefeated over a large enough sample size of hands. Just like how you might be able to beat the casino at roulette after 20 spins but once it gets to a million spins you are guaranteed to lose to the house edge
Problem is that if you are using gto and your opponent isn't, you are likely playing completely wrong. Saw a solve the other day that was 95% check, but when node locking to have villain play polarized instead of merge-y, solve bets almost 100%.
If you are using GTO and your opponent isn’t, then you’ll win in the long run.
@@SuperYtc1 Solvers run simulations versus itself, meaning they're assuming a GTO balanced strategy from its opponents. This is what people refer to as 'playing GTO' - the strategy the solver outputs. But in real games, this doesn't work because players are wildly imbalanced in most spots. GTO players take account of this and adjust their play accordingly. I.E. a solver would bluff 33% of the time on a specific river node, but a human would only bluff 5%, then using a GTO strategy would be losing. If you were to let a GTO bot run loose in a pool, it would probably be break even or slightly losing.
@@gladyslucas198that’s incorrect. The optimal solution changes against a known suboptimal opponent, yes, but it does not make GTO “lose”. It still wins (or breaks even) in the long run no matter what the opponent does. A human player who takes into account tendencies can potentially profit MORE off of his opponent’s mistakes but there is nothing a player can do to “beat GTO” just because they know they are playing a GTO bot. That’s what Nash equilibrium is. Just because you KNOW your opponent will always throw exactly 1/3rd each of rock, paper, scissor doesn’t mean you can beat them. It means they can’t be beat… only tied. Bots have long since been able to beat the very best human poker players. We are way past that point now.
yes, but there are 1326 possible hands to be dealt at poker, there is also the board, there is also other players positions, bet sizing and etc. I would think it is almost impossible to learn all of these situations and what you should do when, however if you could do that then you would always win money because no one else can perfectly play game theory optimal
It's fun knowing this and going against the grain. It makes heads spin at the table :)

I've read/watched about memory athletes; do they have an edge on these games, because it feels like the payoff here is much more than what they might get in a memory tournament.
I think the issue with that in poker is that because of the different possible combinations of hands, boards, bet sizes and many different variables it wouldn't be very efficient because you would have to look at billions of different GTO solutions. You are much better trying to find the trend of what the solver is doing and figuring why a computer would want to play a particular way, having a very good memory would still be super helpful for this though because you wouldn't have to practice or revise a scenario nearly as often if you could learn it by looking at a couple of times and figuring out and remembering the strategy a couple of times
my god what am i reading !So you are telling me that is a person om this planet that can memorize the billion combination of boards and opponents scenario and then sit and play gto hahahaahhahahhahahahhanhaba
Liv, you have a degree in Astrophysics. I also have a degree in Astrophysics. I'm doing a deep dive into GTO and it's not something that you should easily be able to understand and master as it's all about analyzing a situation just like any physics problem
GTO has been going on a long time. Ppl just didn’t realize it. When they did realize it, they had a different name for it: skill.
Isnt gto only best used against near professional players? I dont think the players at a 1/2 table are studying solvers
Daniel negreanu said it best: game theory optimal is like throwing rock, paper, scissors each 1/3 of the time with even probability. No one can find a strategy to beat you, but you also won't be winning alot.

Just because people are playing that way does not equate to "that strategy" is winning at a certain rate....
And you'd have to distinguish between the person who does it knowing the strategy versus the person who follows the strategy but isn't aware of it. Because tjosempeople won't do it again so you can't say they are a "game theory player" which is what we would need to track in order to figure out if this shit really works over the long haul.
Not to mention, regardless of what the cards do, poker is a game where the player can outsmart the cards and the air opponent by bluffing. That is a variable which cannot be taken into consideration...
I think this is kinda BS. Are they able to track someone’s play, say on Hustler or the Bike, when the cards are known to then give a % ratio score of how well the player played according to GTO?
Almost like card counting, most players think they are playing well, but really arn’t?
Good point with regards to live play. You would need a massive sample size of over 1 million hands to determine a person's true win rate, as well as adherence to game theory optimal strategy. We can do this pretty easily for online play- but not so much for live stream games.
Game theory strategies ONLY apply to games where there is no hidden knowledge. In poker there are hidden cards, plus random flop, etc
Everyone says poker is skill, yet the final tables have new faces every year.
In sports, it’s the same faces in the finals every year. Sports = skill , any form of gambling = luck
I think it's more like the top players are so close in skill to each other that they ultimately have to rely on luck to beat EACH OTHER, even though they would crush amateurs over a decently long sample size. This is why high stakes cash games are pretty much pointless because the top guys are so close to each other that who wins or loses millions on any given day is basically a coin flip.

YOU CAN JUST PLAY IN THE MOMENT AND HAVE FUN TOO. I WON $800 BUCKS AT THE CASINO PLAYING 1-3 NO-LIMIT JUST WITH PHENOMENAL BASICS.
Reminds me of of wanting to learn chess when I was young, and a friend gave me a book full off optimal openings & responses back and forth to memorize. Turns out even local competition require them, and you have to go through that to even come to a point where you think about the board.
Hey man, don’t get bugged out about it. Chess is a great game.
I recommend just thinking about each move in a given circumstance, look at what you’re going to do and potential responses your opponent could have. That’s all it is… everythings on board. No card up their sleeve, nothing. If you do that, over time, your chess game will improve, and it will make for a much more enjoyable play experience. You win some you lose some, but along the way you get better and develop more of a appreciation for the game
Best of luck out there
*side note: play at a bar. Varying skill levels makes for a fun game mixed with very skillful moves and atrocious blunders. Speaking from experience
Actually, openings are by far the LEAST important part of Chess until you start getting around 1500 or so, and they don't become immensely important until you're over 2000. Most chess games before ~2000 are going to be won/lost on tactical mistakes, and being able to spot those tactics is far more important to your success early on. By around 2000 tactical mistakes start to become significantly rarer, and you have to start learning the subtleties of positional, long term, strategic play, and have a solid opening repertoire so you don't always end up with bad positions early on when your opponents won't make as many mistakes.
Like Fischer random chess, they should make Boeree random poker where starting deck is randomly altered.
Been playing for years using statistics and just doing calculations in my head, then a few years back my friends were telling me about GTO, crazy how far computing power of AI has really changed the game though most of the peeps at the hole in the wall card room nearest me are all like 80 and think I’m talking about a Pontiac when I bring it up 😂

Poker is not like chess at all. Emotions and betting makes an addition to knowing the patterns. Its has some similarity with chess, but it is very different as you cannot calculate every option, unlike chess, and have to tryst you guts.
Good insight, maybe a mix of both?
Well, in chess you cannot calculate every option neither, that's why players make mistakes, because they aren't able to analyze every line in a given position.
The emotions and psychology also affects players in chess (Look for example at game 8 in the WCC between Ding Liren and Nepo, where Nepo played a "bluff" and Ding fell for it). That being said, it's true that in Poker emotions are more important

The difference between chess and poker is that in poker the right play depends on who your opponent is. If you know your opponent, you can always find a better play than what GTO suggests.
I wonder if poker will ever have a built in solver for people to use. It sounds absurd, but since there are so many different frequencies it’s not like anybody would play the exact same. Like how they have built in HUD now kinda, on GG. If somebody follows the computers advice for every spot, u could exploit that. It would make people way better. That’s how most these pros got good anyway I imagine, using RTA.
Phil Hellmuth does none of this and still wins bracelets nonstop. Poker is just very hard and few people are good enough to stick with it and succeed
Phil absolutely does this lol
I agree. In the pre-solver era, poker was more enjoyable as you could come up with some creative plays that seemed revolutionary at the time. These days, the solver will say that that particular play is -EV.
"People got better so now i suck at poker and i dont like it anymore" lol

@@kennethkho7165 Utter nonsense analogy.......
"GTO" strives to find a Nash Equilibrium. That is to say, a "stable" solution in which no opponent can gain by changing their strategy. Someone who is not playing GTO, only loses (in the long run) to someone who is playing GTO. If both opponents are playing GTO, than they will only break even against each other.
@@ClamperDrew I'm not saying both opponents should play GTO. I'm saying if I know you're playing GTO and I understand GTO then you're a mark. You really think we could both understand perfectly how each other plays, and the one who doesn't adjust would win long-term?
Gto just gives me an excuse to get it in’ this is deffo gto ‘ im all in
I mean, she's not wrong that GTO has dramatically changed the game, but nobody can play GTO, and every deviation from GTO is an opportunity to adjust to take advantage of those mistakes. Certainly among top pros there are probably fewer such mistakes than ever, but there are still plenty of people at every level that don't have any clue about GTO.
Exactly!! Play any poker tournament and I’d say 90% of people dont have a clue about range betting or polarised bets.
The cool part about poker is when you play live things change and people go on tilt or play emotionally
She's right but wrong at the same time, because even though you may know those frequencys poker has this little thing called Varience. That verience alone messes up solvers startegy as well as Frequencys. Its one thing to learn how to play by the book and then its another thing to learn how to use those friquencys and trick players with pattern mix ups and baits. As well as anticipating you're apponents Plays and countering aswell as if you're aponent wants to deny you're Tactic and you can now punish them for doing so. So its a Mix of feeling dynamics, Frequencys, Mix ups, counter strats, tactics, and finding an edge or creating an edge on an aponnent.
Also luck. Basically it takes about as long to learn as any other skilled occupation with several orders of magnitude the variance. Might as well dig ditches for living.
It's hard math like 6 different math questions for the hand the flop the turn the river as well doing money calculations as you go so more like 9
I just love the end where she is like in the last 10 years people got smarter which I didn’t like so I stopped playing 😂
The problem with gto is that it works better versus good players and if you play micros online or even mid stakes most of the player pool are gamblers with close to zero poker knowledge
I had no idea british women's voices and accents were so goddamn sexy
feel like someone is on a downswing and lost a sponsor
but whats interesting is that the best chess players often prepare slight innaccuracies to take their opponent out of their deeply studied theory, and in the same way that there is a place for exploitative play in chess there will be even moreso in poker, since the latter isnt a perfect information game.

Cardgames have so many variétés it's like DNA itself. It dépends with whom your on the table which cards you get. And when i played klaverjassen. So when your hocked up with à partner against an other couplé each got 8 cards, so 24 all together. And there's only 1 kind hack and 9 are strong and the others as and 10. So if my partner feelt good about his cards it became easy to predict his hand. And win as a team, now in poker you only need to scan if some one is bluffing or not. Even if there are more cards more options, more scénarios it stars basic math and if you got the advantage to feel the people on the table, your so called gut, you got a minor advantage. But some of you learned to hide or manipulate this (like vampiers) and your game became interresting. I rather prefer teamed cardgames like the french game tarot, which can be played with 5 people, 2 against 3. And it swaps all the time the teams, so it's still compétition based. Because believe me if i'm in à card game i just sea the hands of every player, so poker i would have been picked out right away. I just now when to win, i can hide my feelings, make fake ones, read your hand because my feelings made you happy. This game aint about cards my dear liv. It's about making the best raid party ever. Tell your magical friend whom is buying the big bleu bird, that for peace it's needed to show unité. Just start moving the pièces of the chess game, waiting untill the AI forces this is most of the time less fun, she protects us from ourself. But she doesnt understand feelings she has patience and she we will wait untill the last nano second before activating Mr Smith kind of programmes, it can be matrixed, but it will be against your own free will. And believe me some things aint fun at all, she learned me that if you dont have fun it's like time being stopped. 33 days i counted every single second so i learned to accept the fact we are controled or listened to be an AI. And i rather be listened to then controled. She cant controle us, but she can controle the weak to push us where we want to go. For exemple cancelling à flight and you learn there's à game in Italie, you were informed by controled people. Call them mr Smith or zombie they can be very nice to us also very mean when they use there friction of power in this old système
Why are they on couches?
Let’s clear a few things up.
GTO did change the game and those who study it have had some success. But basic reading ability is still the most important asset in the game and if you are good it at it, you can rinse these GTO players at their own game.
Stop trying to make poker seem complicated, anybody can play if you have a good understanding of the basics.
Maybe if all but two of the chess pieces were hidden on both sides
That only works if your player does what’s expected.
Well it actually works more if they don't as these solutions are based upon maximising your equity. If they aren't doing what is expected then they are by definition losing more equity over time.
@@ryangarrick8903 That's not entirely true. If for instance you're playing against someone who never folds their hand, following a GTO strategy that states you bluff 90% of your range in a certain spot is going to result in you losing 90% of your hands.
You should use GTO as a tool to learn basic, correct poker strategy, and then deviate from it based on how your opponents play.
The misconception people make with GTO is that it's answers are concrete and you should never switch from it, but this is only true if other people are playing a GTO strategy of sorts. In this scenario having a stronger knowledge of GTO is huge, but if you're playing against someone who is completely feel based, then sticking to a GTO strategy and not changing it up based on how your opponent plays in different spots is disastrous.
But no matter what learning GTO is going to improve your fundamentals, and should be learned by all serious poker players for that reason alone.

GTO + exploitative play. A GTO player will watch the hands they fold and keep an eye on ranges. If u raise UTG with 65s ur not just raising them ur raising an entire table.. you’ll lose ?
it won't matter
when the tree is solved it excluded 65 for a reason - it is -ev against the gto strategy.
so you playing a -ev hand simply gifts ev to the gto strategy.

Not true at all. GTO is not the ultimate answer, it is merely a strategy at the Nash Equilibrium.

Poker is luck and putting on a good bluff. Chess actually takes skill. An average poker guy could win a hand vs top poker guy. In chess it would never happen
There's no probability involved in Chess. Ideas are concrete and provable. With best play you ALWAYS draw. In Poker you can still lose.
Well yes and no. In poker it is that the draw is taken over a much longer period of time rather than the finite period of a singular chess game. If two engines played a billion hands they would end up break even aka 'drawing'. Short term you may lose a tournament but that isn't equal to a singular game of chess. And to your point, sometimes a person with a 90% accuracy game loses to a player in a game with less accuracy, so even though they were more engine like they may not win.
You gon learn.
