I have a very preliminary understanding of GTO, but before I spend a lot of time delving in to the subject, I have some basic questions as to why you would want to play this way.
So if GTO is the strategy you implement when someone is playing GTO against you, how can you have an edge in the game? If 2 people are playing optimally, by definition neither can have an edge, right? So why would you play this game? And why would you play this way? As soon as someone is not playing GTO, then GTO is no longer optimal. So if 2 players where playing GTO and one changes to non-GTO, then the player playing GTO is no longer playing optimally. OK the other player may not be playing optimally either, but neither is the GTO player, so how does GTO give you an edge?
I'd love to also hear from players who implemented a more GTO approach - did your results improve?
Thanks so much everyone and sorry if these are silly questions I'd love to hear everyone's opinions on GTO.
