Hand Review

Watch a live cash game session followed by detailed GTO solver review. The speaker demonstrates a structured three-step thought process for real-time poker decisions: analyzing theory, determining hand action, and adjusting for player tendencies. Covers exploitative strategies against recreational and aggressive opponents in various spots.

A solid GTO baseline creates a strong defensive foundation that prevents opponents from exploiting you, while exploitative adjustments based on specific player tendencies maximize profit against their mistakes. The video teaches balancing theoretical correctness with practical pool adjustment to outplay different opponent types.

Game-Changing Strategic Lessons from Live Play Analysis:

  • Master the three-step thought process: theory assessment, hand action determination, and exploitative deviations based on player pool tendencies
  • Understand soft exploits versus hard exploits when solver shows mixing—pure action selection against specific player types maximizes edge
  • Adapt bet sizing on turn with wet boards to thinner value spots; aggressive players severely underbluff rivers against passive players
  • Recognize player types by table positioning and aggression metrics to identify overstabbing tendencies and adjust calling ranges accordingly
  • Value bet thin on turn against passive pools since they fail to bluff rivers effectively after check-backs, changing the equity calculation
  • Use blocker hand selection strategically—hands with good blockers outperform in bluffing situations against specific opponent ranges
  • Build exploitative read systems by analyzing opponent profiles, noting blind levels, and adjusting pure GTO to crush exploitable leaks
