This is good stuff. I play full-time at the low limits, but am killing it. What he says about how most hands have a very small expected value but that playing a GTO opening range gets you paid off big with your premiums is right on the money. It's like a dance that you do that the goal of is to get your nutted hands paid off big.

[@littleinkling4604]

That's a cool way of putting it thanks. Though at low limits it does mean the players need to take notice of hands you're playing. Not sure how many have a hud at that level.

[@Tower-bl9kk]

Excellent content GTO Wizard. Thanks. Very practical, relevant, and sound advice that I can apply immediately to my game. Your explanations are clear, concise, and logical. Love it! Keep it coming sir! Looking forward to supporting your channel.

[@michaelsheehy9466]

Best video so far. More of these please that aren't super highly complicated.

[@YourPalJamieEllis]

The biggest thing that I'm internalizing is needing to be okay with being outdrawn. Playing max EV means sometimes the straight or the flush gets there vs you and that's okay. No need to choke a would-be golden goose just because it has an 18% chance of going rogue and pecking your eyes out. Hmm, bad analogy maybe, I probably wouldn't risk that lol.

Great stuff, perfectly explained . This took me years to figure out when i first started playing 20 years ago. Now players learn it early and save a ton of money. Mind you, just being an LAG in my day was a license to print money. Def not the case now.

[@howard2031]

That variance chart got me. It made me kind of worried bc I've been a winning player for over 10 years. But I lost a huge pot on the river about 3 months ago on a two outer when I flopped top set and ever since then it's been lose, lose, lose. I'm kind of worried I'm going to lose for the next 10 years now and even out my run good the last 10 years.

[@GTOWizard]

Comments like this are why I'm preparing a lecture on variance and bankroll management. Poker is a game of pushing small edges and riding variance.

[@pedrobarretta]

As a poker player with a lot of experience from years gone by, and not a lot of recent experience, who wants to take a more GTO approach, what’s the balance between studying and playing? Buying all these tools (GTO Wizard and The variance tracker, Poker tracker?, etc.) soon adds up and puts a dent in the bank roll before you even start.

[@FCarraro1]

As everything in life, you have to invest in your education. You spend thousands of dollars of school and text books before having a job, and poker is no different. If your "old school" approach is getting you money, then great, but studying theory can skyrocket your winrate. I can understand that you don't want to invest in a solver, but not having a HUD like Pokertracker in online poker is like playing blindfolded.

[@FCarraro1]

the variance tracker is free, btw ;)

[@rvoykin]

This is really practical advice not trying to memorize the trying to understand the threshold makes a ton of sense basically as long as you know that limit for that Line anything better you stay in and anything worse you don’t

The main problem with GTO is that it assumes you play perfectly on EVERY street. So its K5s raises ONLY make money when you play all other streets as intended. But you're sitting there on the turn and think about Wtf to do.

[@ghjk5827]

hey, mate. about the postflop engine: do you think it still translates the game well even after solvers arrived? I mean, after the solvers arrived, I've heard a few times that the postflop engine got outdated because we discovered that at various times we shouldn't build our range in a polarized way

[@GTOWizard]

Great question. You have to start somewhere; walk before you run. The basic premise of the four categories is correct, although solvers have shown that more complex strategies exist. Beginners should still learn the premise of the four categories imo, as it helps to understand the motives of different hand classes.

[@ghjk5827]

@@GTOWizard ty, mate. hypothetically speaking, with your experience, how far do you think a player who trains and builds his ranges always in a polarized way - and ignoring these depolarized strategies that the solver suggests - can get?

[@vsanden]

I have watched this video and my heuristics are not based on lies. I might be different than most players, being a statistician and educated in artificial intelligence since 2004, I can tell my heuristics have never been shattered, I stand tall as the poker maestro! Solvers only confirmed what I've always known-my unique heuristics reign supreme. With a winrate that soars (and now understand because almost everything i did for years seems right), I'm the embodiment of poker perfection. I do have a job and companies and never gave this up and maybe now it's too late because too many people can learn this. I do not regret having a job next to poker but I have always won from the 'regs' and professionals which worked because of my supreme strategy. This video reaffirms my brilliance, showcasing how my unconventional style is the key to success.

[@pierrebizeul8166]

Actually, we do not expect tails and heads to even out. The difference between them should be of order square root of the number of tosses. That is the Central Limit Theorem, which quantifies the convergence to equilibrium in the law of large numbers

[@GTOWizard]

We expect the proportion of heads and tails to even out due to the law of large numbers, not the actual amount. So we'd expect it to approach 50%/50% but the expected value would still be whatever head's headstart was

GTO works if your brain is a computer or has photographic memorie can remember all your hands; mine is not so I won’t

[@awkb777]

this is freaky technical stuff

[@xxxYYZxxx]

I think of "advertising value" in regards to playing marginal hands and pre flop frequency or "VPIP". Hands that "lose" now add value to winning hands later. Also, showing "garbage" hands, win or lose, can add value later - even putting other players on tilt.

[@GTOWizard]

There is something to be said about bluffs enticing others to pay off your value.

[@xxxYYZxxx]

@@GTOWizard Besides well played bluffs not panning out, outright blunders can induce tilt, but not when the player uses them to get paid off on later hands.

Great video! your entirely wrong about heads and tails btw the percentage increases based on equity realisation meaning in order for it to be 50/50 it needs to hit 50% to realise 50% if you miss 3x your odds of the other are actually for example more like 67% or something. every time you miss heads the tails equity increase slightly. the equity of hitting 6 heads is low and the equity of hitting 6 tails is low common sense would tell you that means something. an example as visuallisation would be Pokemon calculating chance to flinch.

[@lionemporor]

100% agree. When a recreational player starts hearing this shit, it just turns them off. It's also why I personally lost love for the game. Too much GTO shit in my head, paralysis by analysis. Its impossible to replicate GTO anyway, trying is just stupid in itself

[@vicious7462]

That and the fact that playing according to this wont work. Currently on GG, the site with the most traffic, there are 10 tables running at the top cash limit NL holdem. Probably around 40 or less unique players. How many are people who actually built there bankroll up from 0 and how many are tournaments winners just playing high stakes. Solvers have been around a long time if they worked there would be a lot more people at higher stakes. And all these ''retired 24 yr old professionals'' who spout this shite would be online 8 hours a day winning money but they arent, they are making youtube videos. The fact is playing by learning this way still won't overcome rake because if you are playing with 6 other people who have 22/15 PFRs it doesnt matter you will still lose to rake.

[@timoritofau]

My question is..vaguely speaking..if all pros play this way ( we know they can deviate) who wins in the long run? Are they just alternating profits between each other as variance swings? PLAYER A wins today but Player B wins today and overall there " shouldnt" be a " more profitable "player

[@lionemporor]

@@vicious7462 and by learning this way, you are learning the least profitable way to play. Not only will the rake eat you up, so will the variance. The one thing i'll say though is, knowing about GTO can help you when you do come across someone who is also playing GTO. Because then you can exploit their play even though they say GTO is unexploitable, thats bullshit. And in live poker you don't see enough hands to balance your ranges, your cbet frequencies and other mixes that GTO would like you to implement. I wish they never invented solvers at all. The game was so much more fun back when you had to use your own brain to solve the game and get creative. Now everyone knows the same shit and its just boring, way less action!
