2 Chapters From GTO Poker Gems · S5E22
Enjoy free chapters from the new poker book, GTO Poker Gems. The first chapter dives into the complexity of a pure GTO solution and why a game like NLHE (or even PLO) likely will NOT be truly solved in our lifetime. Comparisons between GTO and exploitative approaches get explored through the lens of simplified solved games while also breaking down when these comparisons simply fail. The next chapter looks at GTO bluffing and leverages the perfect polarization model to draw out some macro ideas about bluffs in modern poker. We also attempt to break the solver, which is maybe why we can’t have nice things.
