Hello, 2+2
I had a debate with a friend of mine, and what he said blew my mind.
I cannot quote exactly what he said because we talked in a different language, but here is a example.
If I use solver to solver some game trees,
using BN's and BB's GTO preflop range, like this image(maybe its not perfect GTO preflop range, what you get the idea)
If I memorize all the trees/decisions from flop to river on all the board, in real life, when I open on the button with GTO preflop range, and
no matter what range BB uses, I can do the exact same thing as what I memorized, and in the long term, I will still win money. (of course I need to count the money I earn from preflop steal, 3bet pot, 4bet pot, etc.)
The reason why I thought this is ridiculous is that, I thought to be at Nash equilibrium, you need to adjust to villain's range, your won range and change the decisions, you cant just solve own tree and call it the perfect solution.
I dont even know anymore because what he said makes sense. the NE is for the whole game not only post flop, which means If I do the exact same thing, no matter what range villains uses, he should lose because of the deviation from NE
