A deep dive into three major signs of over-reliance on GTO poker strategy. Pete Clarke explains why blindly following solver-based play can hurt your winrate. Topics include the importance of cold-calling, why obsessing over your own range can be harmful, and when to make exploitative adjustments against different player types.

Players often limit their profits by being too strict with GTO concepts. The video shows how to balance theoretical knowledge with practical, profitable adjustments.

Breaking Free from Theory:

  • Cold-calling is underused but highly profitable in many spots
  • Your opponents' tendencies matter more than perfect GTO defense frequencies
  • Over-focusing on your own range can blind you to exploitative opportunities
  • Rigid "correct play" thinking blocks profitable deviations
  • Solver recommendations should guide, not control, your decisions
