The poker players that I have played against that are strong and competent poker players are over bluffing now due to these solvers.
If they are overbluffing then they are not following the solver's outputs. Maybe they are overbluffing vs specific player types. (You still shouldn't bluff a calling station because a solver tells you to.
Although if you node lock for a station's calling range, you will find that the solver bluffs way less than normal)

This type of player has to go all in on the river on a scare card on the river and such so I just adjust and call light.
If a player goes allin on the river with correct ranges/frequencies then the best you can do by calling is breakeven. And if you over adjust and call too light then suddenly you are a losing a lot of money because of your flawed perception that they are bluffing too much.
Thats not to say that solver studiers dont make mistakes and there isn't room to exploit those mistakes. But if you have no clue what the equilibrium strategy is then how can you properly exploit deviations from it?
Admittedly, not enough players attempt to node lock different player types and study how they should adjust vs them. And are more focused on studying the equilbrium.
Definitely NOT like zone defense though, as zone defense is pretty easily exploited by good outside shooting and offensive rebounding.
