Strategy
GTO (Game Theory Optimal)
Game Theory Optimal (GTO) is a poker strategy that seeks to find the theoretically perfect play in every situation, making it impossible for opponents to exploit you. It relies on Nash Equilibrium concepts and is often studied using poker solvers. While pure GTO play is nearly impossible for humans, understanding its principles helps build balanced ranges and mixed strategies.
Example
Instead of always betting or always checking with a marginal hand on the river, a GTO approach might bet 60% of the time and check 40%.
