    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.

    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.

    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 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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.

    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.

    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 I mean, after the solvers arrived, I've heard a few times that the postflop engine got outdated because we discovered that at various times we shouldn't build our range in a polarized way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
      @GTOWizard  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

      @@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!
