lesson 3: Dont 3barrel random cards with no equity to go

80% exploit 20% gto

basic concepts to be able to understand a lot of spots theoretically without too much depth
as deep and complex exploit strategies as that person can understand

Weird poll. I've always broken things into strategy vs. theory. Strategy is the moves you make (raise and re-raise with AA, which hands to value bet, etc.) and the theory is the math behind the game. You need to teach new players a healthy mix of both.

You need to teach some basic strategy so that they can play the game and build experience without just clicking buttons and hemorrhaging money. This can be done relatively straightforwardly with starting hands charts and some basic postflop board reading lessons and bet sizing guidelines. This strategy can be either based on GTO concepts or a specific exploitative strategy. It's probably best if it's based in GTO, so that's what I voted in the polls. But they won't necessarily know that yet.

At the same time you teach the theory of the game. The fundamental mathematical underpinnings of the game. Why certain bet sizes, pot odds, SPR, MDF. Eventually this will get into game theory concepts which will hopefully get them to connect what they have been taught to do at the table with why they do it.
