Gto solver says to bet 135 50% and check 50% with our hand against his range.

do we use our watch to find out if we should check or bet? or flip a coin at the table?

If the suit isn't important to the hand you can use that.

Presumably you mean live. Flipping a coin is ridiculous for obvious reasons.

Idk if there's any point randomising live in like 99% games, if you think through the hand there will probably be one option that's clearly more +EV so just do that.

I've never done this but if you insist I guess if your chips have markings you could fiddle with a chip a bit then put it down and randomise based on how the marking is oriented.

You could also use the watch. Neither of these are truly random, of course.

Might be sticking foot in mouth a little here .. but ..

If faced with a 50% GTO spot, I then defer to EV.

If faced with a =EV spot, especially when I can close action, I typically choose to put less chips at risk when I'm just breaking even in the long run. If you are opening action, there should always be a minor lean in EV since I've never seen someone fold to a check!

Sometimes +GTO is not +EV, you can have all the combinations, and it's up to you to choose which is more important. GL
