Strategy
Exploitative Play
Exploitative play deviates from GTO to specifically target an opponent's weaknesses. If a player folds too much, you bluff more. If they call too much, you value bet more thinly. While exploitative play can yield higher win rates against specific opponents, it also makes you vulnerable to counter-exploitation by observant players.
Example
If you notice a player never folds to river bets, you stop bluffing them and only value bet your made hands.
