Message: [QUOTE="Phoenix Wright, post: 6262442, member: 419963"] Playing robotically close to GTO will be useful in high stakes poker with pros (Negreanu on his YouTube channel once said something like close to GTO at those levels is basically required just so your opponents "don't exploit the hell out of you."), but GTO is less relevant in my poker games (even if I know a little GTO for that spot). True that GTO can't be exploited mathematically even if the opponent knows you are playing GTO, but playing unbalanced and exploitatively can be even more profitable if your opponents aren't playing optimally. We should keep in mind that GTO is the optimal strategy when your opponents are playing "perfect" strategy (humanly close to it anyway), but if they make the same mistakes constantly, then you can potentially win more by taking advantage of that.
