I have a question regarding the first part of optimal 3b/4b/5b and I didn't want
to start a new thread for that. In the article he says that optimal play is sure to
never lose, being a defensive strategy.

But let's say we 4bet QQ+ AK for value planning to always call a 5bet (which
is supposed to be optimal based on the 3bet sizing of villain that makes us
obligated to defend a certain % of the time to not being exploited) and that
villain only 3bets AA and KK. I don't get how our play is optimal in that
scenario.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks

Aleksandra ZenFish 7 years, 3 months ago


The scenario assumes both players are playing optimally, and that means that
villains 3-4-5 bet range is wider then AA and KK and is containing some bluffs
as well so he dont get to exploited as well, because basicly if he 3 bets AA
KK only you can successfully steal a lot by many 3 bets, and optimal strategy
for villain wouldnt allow him to value 3 bet as narrow range because he would
be prone to attacking alot including any 2 cards and yes defense strategy
says he must bet certain ammount of times that that doesnt happen and that
includes more then AA KK
If the villain 3 bets AA KK only you can safely fold any times he calls or 4 bets
and keep 3 betting him any 2 cards which wouldnt be optimal

Knowing that villain only 3-b AA or KK is an exploitable read. In this case we
obv have to step back from gto and adapt an exploitative strategy.

vanity02 7 years, 3 months ago


I don't think you can apply GTO to that situation since villain has no three bet
bluffs in his range if say villain is also three betting 22-66 as bluffs we would
be able to construct a GTO strategy. But as is, it's best to play exploitative.
Which is to just fold to his three bets unless you have AA.

FROM THE GROUND UP: MTT Edition ×
If you are 4 bet bluffing against a guy who never bluffs, then he isnt playing
GTO so that means you cant either. LOG IN SIGN UP

The whole point of GTO is to understand where the balance point is. If you
know what your opponent "should" be doing and what his range "should be"
then you can adjust from GTO to be explotive, because you know he never
3bet bluffs and only 3bets AA and KK, you can then fold KK to a 3bet.

If a guy dosent 3bet bluff but 3bets a wider range for value, and stacks off
with most of that range, you can then 4bet a slightly wider value range than
is GTO, but you cant bluff because he wont fold the required amount for
your bluff to work.

GTO, in practice, is pointless. If you were in a game so tough that you had
to play GTO, run away as fast as you can because both players will, in the
long run, do no more than break even.

If you know what your opponent should do from a GTO point of view, then
you are in a better position to exploit them. If your opponent 3bets too many
bluffs and you notice this over time, then you can counter that by putting in
more 4 bet bluffs. GTO just gives you an idea of where the theoretical
balance point is and anyone who isnt playing close to GTO can be
exploited.. the trick is figuring out how, but if you compare a GTO range to
your opponents actual range, then you can more easily see what it is he is
doing wrong and what you should do to gain from that.

I think a lot of people think that its a cookie cutter strategy that can be
applied to anyone, when infact its more of a theoretical concept. That said,

Nice post Stu. However, I think you misunderstood a few things. Basically,
GTO means game theory optimal (obv). Which means it is the optimal
approach based on an opponent playing game theory optimal too, which you
seem to have said tbf. But basically, if I play perfect GTO (which obv I can't
nor can anyone), no matter how you play you cannot beat me. It will no longer
be the optimal strategy, because I will be leaking money in certain spots, but
it will make me money overall, and probably significantly more than I would
make by playing my own (suboptimal) exploitative strategy.
So basically I can play GTO and print of someone playing non GTO, eg if I
protect my opening range with proper 4bet frequencies then everytime they
try and exploit me by 3bet bluffing a hand that wouldn't fall in their GTO
range, I am printing money, as they are trying to exploit the unexploitable.

My question was that if I am defending my opening range with GTO 4bet


frequencies then it seems to me that I can be exploited, by someone who just
doesn't 3bet bluff. But that seems counterintuitve, because the whole point of
playing GTO frequencies is that they can't be exploited. So would appreciate
someone clearing it up.

@Ace. You cannot play GTO on your own. GTO shows how your opponent
should play, and if he dosent p[lay that way then he is exploitable.. but you
then have to deviate away from GTO to do that. So if a guy isnt 3bet bluffing
you cannot use a GTO range against him.

GTO is a bit like this. You write down exactly how you play poker, then you
hand me that piece of paper, I read it and then write down exactly how I
intend to play against you. I hand you the paper pack, you read my strategy
and then write down all the adjustments that you intend to make based on
how I play. You then hand the paper back to me I re-read your new strategy
and make adjustments to mine, write then down and hand it back. At some
point we will end up with a strategy that neither of us can improve upon. That
is GTO. Our winrates are zero because you wont let me use a strategy that
causes you to loose and vise versa.

A GTO strategy is a strategy pair, it takes two people to do it, if I deviate from
GTO then I can exploit you but at the same time I create a weakness
somewhere else that you can also exploit... but you have to spot the
weakness. If you dont spot it then GTO wont spot it for you.

I wish I could edit these posts because I keep thinking of stuff after I hot the
post button.

GTO isnt something that you necessarily want to do, its just something that
you want to understand.

If you have a good understanding of GTO then you can compare your
opponents strategy to GTO and that will show you where all his leaks are..
and then you deviate away from GTO to exploit it.

The reason top players play close to a GTO style is that if you are playing
against someone like Durrr or Mr Galfond, then if you have leaks, they will
spot them and adjust so you sacrifice your winrate and play close to GTO just
to be in the game. I dont know how Phil Galfond compares to Durrr, but I
would guess that there is very little profit to be had by either of them in a
game. In theory, if they both play perfectly then their winrates are both zero
against each other. In a 6 max game, Phil isnt making money off Durrr or vise
versa the money is coming from the other people at the table.

Durrr is obviously a famous example and a player known for his manic moves
at the table, but I have heard stories about him where he plays Nits in
tournaments and instead of 3betting 4 betting and shoving rivers and so on,
he is just sat there folding because thats the way to exploit someone who is
overly tight, he isnt sat there thinking, "this guy only ever 3bets AA / KK , I

FROM

yours. My Edition
understanding is that it is not ×
always the optimal strategy, but that regardless of your opponents strategy, it
cannot lose.
EG, In a basic game of Rock paper scissiors, the GTO strat is clearly LOG

33% of each at random. No matter what my opponent does, this strategy

I don't think this is a fluke of the way rock paper scissors is set up. I am pretty

strategy our opponent tries to enact.

Which is obviously the problem I have when I look at the scenario I set out
above.

StuZero 7 years, 3 months ago


I think whats happening is this. GTO is really just showing you what the 5 bet
game looks like, then for the 5 bet game to exist the 4 bet game must already
be in place, for the 4 bet game to work,, the 3 bet game must be there. If
someone isnt playing the 3bet game and is just 3betting AA/KK then you
exploit that by folding and the 4 bet and 5 bet game cant be played..

GTO plays are constructed based on ranges and not "oh if I play this this set
pattern I'm never exploitable". LOG IN SIGN UP

So the best questions to ask yourself is, What is his 3bet range? Does he fold
to 4bets?(if he is then he has bluffs in his 3betting range) Guestimate his
5betting value range and does he ever 5bet bluff? Is villain a tough player or
easy player? Now you ask yourself the most important question, is playing
GTO better or exploiting him based on what I know about his 3/4/5 betting
ranges?

Just remember as long as you know his value range and that he has bluffs,
you can construct a GTO strategy vs that opponent. If he doesn't have any
bluffs, taking the exploitative approach is probably best.
