You shouldn't deviate, because you shouldn't start with anything similar to GTO. Not unless you want to miss out on a load of profit anyway...
You can design your own 'standard' strategy which will be far more effective than GTO in those games. Or you can do what I do. Just go with the flow at the start of the game, if you hit big strong hands 3bet often, and then, keep an eye on your perceived range and rinse the opponent. If you are 3betting lots early on, be aware that your range looks weak when you 3bet so refrain from 3bet bluffing often... until your perceived range changes, and then change your play along with it.
Just follow the villains range and your perceived range, consider how they will change after you make your action, and then you will be able to rinse those games for far more profit that one of these guys who start with GTO.
