Everything GTO Wizard does is assuming it's against an opponent playing "perfect" GTO.
This strategy will work no matter what your opponent does.
But once your opponent deviates, more optimal strategies that exploit those deviations become available.
A simple example: villain has a value heavy 3bet range, so as an exploit we should fold a bit more vs their 3bets.
I'm not exactly sure why GTO likes calling SC's, but here's what I suspect:
- easy to play post, you either connect or you don't (a good bluff/draw is also considered connected, FE: 98s on a 762r board)
- you're less likely to get into much trouble, like 98s flopping 952r, it's unlikely (still possible) that your opponent has a better TP hand
but on the other hand if you'd call KJo, if you hit the K or J, you don't really know if you have the best hand or not and are likely to lose more
- board coverage, which is probably completely irrelevant at online micro stakes
I guess that's where nodes come in so you can see for yourself by editing them if villain have value heavy 3b range? Don't get me wrong when i hit that 98 in my 1-100rng im sb vs btn open wtih my 65s im like hell yeah baby lets have some fun
but i'm just wondering if i just eliminate those type of hands for now considering rake, how much ev do i really gain vs general pool? I like to play them don't get me wrong, because i'd consider myself to be quite cautious postflop and I try to not make too many blunders, but poker isn't always what you like to do isn't it. Would it make sense to use this type of hands later positions since people don't really defend 3bets as often either?
