two points...
1. GTO stands for Game Theory Optimal. If indeed it is a genuine theory (personally I doubt it) then it is not reality...no genuine theory is, it is artifact, like all theories.
Thus the correct answer to the question:
Quote:
Is the basic principle that someone playing GTO is un-exploitable because of the math involved?
Would be, "yes, theoretically".
Unless of course it is not a theory at all...in which case who gave it the ****ing silly title??
2. Being unexploitable is not the same thing as making money. In fact two bots playing perfect GTO against one another will both lose over time (to the rake). In many situations, exploitive poker will be more profitable...especially when the playing popualtion has a lot of fish in it.
Like for example in tournaments
