You guys need to check out this new video! I wish I could afford a monthly gtox subscription - what a great learning tool. His videos focusing on teaching his girlfriend GTO are excellent.
I get “pay attention to what your opponents are doing and incorporate that into whatever strategy you are using” out of this. Can you highlight or summarize the parts I obviously missed?
So bring a computer to your next cash game session in the casino, watch what your opponents are doing, make adjustments to your software, and then boom!!! You are playing poker correctly.For me this video is less about watching what the opponent is doing and more about using the solver to investigate range construction: meaning showing how he's using the solver to in this example to make decisions about constructing the flop cbetting/checking range in order to achieve the right frequencies. He walks through how he is using the solver to explore EV between different combos to guide his range construction away from the table. Sure, we know that we want to cbet generally at X% frequency, but how do we go about selecting the right combos when building that cbetting range? He walks through identifying combos to add using EV differences and simplifying strategies using the concept of EV regret, arguing both that simplification aids in allowing a human to use/implement a strategy correctly (versus being unable to implement a very complex strategy) and that some of the solvers complexity (e.g. raising pot 2%) comes from the need to be balanced in a sim when both player's strategies are perfectly known - this level of balance isnt necessary in the real game, again arguing that simplification poses little risk and using EV to simplify.
Do you have to make sure you are heads up preflop before you use any of this?So bring a computer to your next cash game session in the casino, watch what your opponents are doing, make adjustments to your software, and then boom!!! You are playing poker correctly.
The goal is to have a plan for constructing your cbetting range on a wide variety of flops before you go to the casinoSo bring a computer to your next cash game session in the casino, watch what your opponents are doing, make adjustments to your software, and then boom!!! You are playing poker correctly.
If you are going to use a solver, yes they all work off post-flop heads up scenarios.Do you have to make sure you are heads up preflop before you use any of this?
