Everyone you know is liar

I am a liar too
It may not be what I say that is deemed a lie or false

we are sincere in our Gestures and social niceties

But we are INSINCERE Liars to our selves.

Let me explain



When studying and trying to solve the solvers theory
We tend to assume

The more our assumption aligns with our end Goal

The more we Lie to ourselves

In the GTO top tier world of Poker Theory

(in which Everybody hates me! Except Eric Person he is kool, he was nicer and more Genuine than any Iv'e come across)

Everyone
Doug Polk to Negreanu to Splitsuit Sweeney to Johnathon Littles entire Shark Tank is Full of shit

Lets learn about the solver and people's misconceptions together

#0000 Everyone but me believes the Solver is unbeatable
#1
Everyone Believes the solver does whatever is EV+


---SOOOOO if it is profitable
GTO will do it with a high consistent frequency


if its action is 30% of the time negative EV
and 70% of the time +EV

What does flop cbet GTO do?
It does the 70% action

Figures the smallest bet to risk
figures the biggest bet, villian junk low equity hands may call with

and it does it at 85%+++ frequency in position


SO the frequency is our range equity vs their ranges equity

Dictating further the Range vs Range
Community cards move the weights of winning combos around the range chart
So each card flop turn river influences the equity of the hand

Expected Value is created by what community Cards appear
And is substantially higher EV when villian is Polarized
and you are unsuspectingly wide or aggro naturally

Time for Insanity

I'm not gonna lie to you to make this easy and dumb down The Skynet Terminator,
it is Some of the best Poker you will ever see







The Turn

?????A check back range in position????

#1 solver does EV+ actions
#1-1 How do we get Ev from our opponents?
#2 Dont think the first concept you learned about poker,
is Something GTO doesn't even know how to apply or Utilize Better than you

Do we check the turn to protect our range?



pssshh wrong answer or assumption


We check turn 50%
because it is EV+

If villian has a low pair or ace high 20% of the time and a junk gutter or backdoor 30% of the time(half his range)(50% frequency)

20% of his range calls flop cbet
and loves to fold to turn bets EV 2.2bbs~
checking the turn
improves his perception of his range vs my range
Widening his check call range on the river
Betting the river instead of the turn gives us a free card(realizing equity) and another chance to catch a pair to get value with against the villians calling range

30% of his range has 8% equity
calls the flop cbet but will not call the turn bet with 8% and SPR/implied
math justify
that as EV+ for the villian

If he is EV+ for the hand
Then you are NOT....duhhh

but what is his frequency to bluff the river Out of position on the river after a turn check showing weakness?
Is it higher than 8% and bigger than my turn bet would have been >?


So what we have here

Is not reckless aggression.
or a sneaky checkback range

Thats just DUMB


But an understanding of Our opponents and how they react and perceive the situation.

Did you guys hear about what Pluribus

cpu
Nueral network created a strategy added to the game>?

checking the turn to protect your range is DUMB
If your opponent knows you check turn 50/50
how does checking top pair on the turn protect or influence anything that wont get you exploited!!!

If one player is EV+ the other is not
If they know what your'e doing
your'e probably not EV+

I'd be curious If you think Negreanu uses a GTO App...
Honestly I think using GTO during a game should be considered cheating.
If you play live you can't use it either ....so why should it be okay online ?
It used to be your brain only which is allowed to use

once you memorized the GTO strategy
looking at an app is pointless
Our brains created a tool to achieve the desired results

and its now a merger of the two
Mind and GTO

Good thing,
I'm crazy in the Mind
I am GTO ALL THE TIME!!

Okay fair enough :)
Makes sense
But what about those who can't memorize GTO strategy and use a GTO app while playing ?
Wouldn't that be cheating ?

Wouldn't be the first time somebody used a cheating tool online

I don't complain
I prepare

and GTO doesn't beat GTO

You must understand GTO to exploit it

Suppose you're right , the only thing one can do .
And the tools which are too invasive are blocked by pokersites anyways .

True. Curious how pokerplayers from the old guard think of it .
Probably adapt or lose

They like sweet butter cream over whipped cream with sprinkles on top

I don't attempt to make a big bankroll or big win

I live in a state poker is illegal
so withdrawal issues are always in my mind

as I have taken over 5k and let the kids pick out numbers to put 500 on #'s the roulette table that they chose with no strategic influence whatsever

I kill for sport
and got kicked out of Pokercoaching.com for creating a limping strategy
since I have no bankroll and am a freeroller
they laughed and booted me without even a chance to explain.
So I gave it to Dneg and he won 3 million with it and absolutley LOVES Limpin is Pimpin



I don't need money to crush anyone in the world in a card game
I just do it

and **** money

you keep hangin by the pool and playing at the table with your equity

While I have inequity
