Enjoy free chapters from the new poker book, GTO Poker Gems. The first chapter dives into the complexity of a pure GTO solution and why a game like NLHE (or even PLO) likely will NOT be truly solved in our lifetime. Comparisons between GTO and exploitative approaches get explored through the lens of simplified solved games while also breaking down when these comparisons simply fail.
