3-bet fold equity GTO multi-way pot position squeeze This video exposes five critical situations where following GTO (Game Theory Optimal) poker strategy actually loses money in live games. The content covers rigid three-bet-or-fold ranges, multiway sandwich spots, and four-bet bluffing ranges. Learn when to deviate from solver recommendations and adopt exploitative strategies that target recreational players' tendencies for maximum profitability. GTO strategies often fail in live poker because recreational players deviate significantly from theoretical ranges, requiring exploitative adjustments. Strategy Breakdown: Rigid Three-Bet-or-Fold Problems - Consider player types instead of following charts blindly when deciding between isolation and calling ranges Player-Dependent Range Adjustments - Flat call against pros with recreational players behind, but three-bet when isolating weak players Multiway Sandwich Exploitation - Continue betting against passive players with wide ranges instead of checking theoretically correct hands Four-Bet Bluff Frequency Errors - Reduce bluffing frequency against tight recreational three-betting ranges that don't fold enough Position and Initiative Value - Maintain betting initiative against passive opponents rather than allowing them to check through profitable spots Implied Odds Recognition - Prioritize hands with strong implied odds against recreational players over theoretical balance considerations Range Strength Assessment - Adjust strategy based on opponents' actual ranges rather than solver-recommended equilibrium ranges
