I'm glad you said that... I had high hopes for this thread too, but unfortunately you don't seem to understand how GTO works. And yeah, you seem to be putting too much stock in physical reads as well. The whole post was a little confused buddy.. Funnily enough, this does highlight exactly how Poker will change in the future.
In short... People will learn more about Poker Theory.
I happen to believe that my understanding of theory is more advanced than anybody else's in the world. And so, I believe that I can see exactly how players will advance in the future.
There won't be much change at the top. The best players need to play GTO heavily and the Poker world already understands GTO well.
Exploitative Poker is the place where the advancements will happen. I have only just worked out the theory behind exploiting, and my book isn't out yet, so very few people understand it like I do. Once the world does understand exploitative theory like I do, everything will change.
Poker will not be mathematical, we won't be calculating nano bets. We will go back to the old school. We will be reading faces and exploiting with every bet. GTO will be frowned upon, and will probably be banned from websites. The skill of a poker player won't be based on how many GTO plays he knows, it will be the same as normal sports, it will be the players attributes that separate the men from the boys. Bravery, creativity, wisdom, these are the qualities that will make a player great.
This change will be huge for Poker. The profit at the bottom will be massively magnified, and so those at the top will be raised up higher than ever before.
But before any of this happens, we need to have a revolution of sorts... Everyone needs to turn their back on GTO and switch to the dominant exploitative style. Hilariously, this is going to be far more easy for a beginner to do than an expert. Experts will struggle to understand exploitative theory, but it comes naturally to a beginner. Once a beginner reads my book they will instantly be more advanced than a seasoned pro. The market will suddenly open up. And we will all be rich.
There is a reasonable chance that my own book won't do well, but, this change is inevitable. Sooner or later everyone will learn what I teach whether they learn it from me or not... Exploitative is the dominant style. It will take over. And I can't wait!
