When I started training with a solver for NL (PokerSnowie), I quickly realized that GTO was kind of useless for live play. You can tweak the AI a little bit (e.g. add 1bb ante per player to create loose, multi-way pots). But you're still missing out on big opportunities if you play strictly GTO.
Training with a solver helped me plug big leaks. For years I'd get into many situations where I had no idea what to do (whether against a fish or pro). This was especially true out of position. Playing 50k hands against an AI helped me get comfortable in just about any situation against any player.
Eventually I unlearned most GTO strategies and switched to more exploitable play. So my live NL game is now like 90% exploiting tendencies and 10% GTO.
Also, I don't have to think too hard anymore. I feel like all that training with AI helped me get into an effortless flow.
Right now when I play live PLO (5-5 and 5-5-10), I'm so bad that the fish think I'm a fish. I thought I would be pretty good, but apparently I'm making big mistakes.
So I'm considering playing 50k hands against Omaha Poker Training's AI (from the makers of Advanced Poker Training). Advanced Poker Training has decent reviews, and you can also throw in some beginner bots to try to simulate playing against fish. Their advanced bots are supposed to be pretty tough to beat too.
With my limited knowledge of PLO, I definitely agree with what you're saying about live play though. Make the absolute nuts, and get a lot of money in.
