  • Just like in Chess, Poker relies a lot on Game Theory Optimal Solutions.
    There are answers to pretty much any gameplay scenario and the more of them you learn, the better your chances are of winning.
    So how much of the game is skill and how much of it comes down to accurate calculations?

      Poker has always had strategy, it's merely that its strategies were based around observing human tendencies (and limitations) and math. Now it's based around trying to memorize how a computer with much more computational power would play so as to be unexploitable. Very different kinds of strategies, and both are still relevant.

    GTO is the starting point. The closer to GTO the opponents play, the closer you stick to it and it becomes a game of who has the biggest brainpower. The farther from GTO opponents play, the more you deviate to punish them.

      It's not really brainpower, or knowing the most perfect GTO, that determines success in any one hand or game. It determines success over averages, i.e. MANY hands or MANY games. Even then, if you rely on deviation to punish opponents, the more you open yourself up to exploitation, which means that unless your intuition and insight are as good as your maths, you're just as vulnerable.
      The best players aren't gaining marginal value. They're employing reads, intuition and insight. And if you go down the route of "that's just another GTO strategy", well then so is literally anything.

    The main difference between chess and hold'em is that if a novice plays against 8 of the best players in chess in a tournament he or she has a better chance of winning the lottery than that tournament. This is far from the case if a novice were to play 8 of the best hold 'em players in a sit and go.

    Liv, what about the fragility of those simulations? Opening ranges, bet sizing, stack sizes, number of players in the hand post flop, the abstractions of limited bet sizing required to even approximate the equilibrium solutions all have drastic effects on what that equilibrium looks like and that doesn’t begin to touch on how impossible it is for humans to implement an actual equilibrium strategy. I don’t see the comparison. It seems to me like the fundamental uncertainty, incomplete information, insane variance and inescapable human psychological elements make poker as interesting as ever, albeit less approachable than it used to be. I don’t think that poker (no limit or pot limit varieties at least) will ever be like competitive chess.

This is what people refer to as 'playing GTO' - the strategy the solver outputs. But in real games, this doesn't work because players are wildly imbalanced in most spots. GTO players take account of this and adjust their play accordingly. I.E. a solver would bluff 33% of the time on a specific river node, but a human would only bluff 5%, then using a GTO strategy would be losing. If you were to let a GTO bot run loose in a pool, it would probably be break even or slightly losing.

      ⁠@@gladyslucas198that’s incorrect. The optimal solution changes against a known suboptimal opponent, yes, but it does not make GTO “lose”. It still wins (or breaks even) in the long run no matter what the opponent does. A human player who takes into account tendencies can potentially profit MORE off of his opponent’s mistakes but there is nothing a player can do to “beat GTO” just because they know they are playing a GTO bot. That’s what Nash equilibrium is. Just because you KNOW your opponent will always throw exactly 1/3rd each of rock, paper, scissor doesn’t mean you can beat them. It means they can’t be beat… only tied. Bots have long since been able to beat the very best human poker players. We are way past that point now.

      Actually, openings are by far the LEAST important part of Chess until you start getting around 1500 or so, and they don't become immensely important until you're over 2000. Most chess games before ~2000 are going to be won/lost on tactical mistakes, and being able to spot those tactics is far more important to your success early on. By around 2000 tactical mistakes start to become significantly rarer, and you have to start learning the subtleties of positional, long term, strategic play, and have a solid opening repertoire so you don't always end up with bad positions early on when your opponents won't make as many mistakes.

      I think the issue with that in poker is that because of the different possible combinations of hands, boards, bet sizes and many different variables it wouldn't be very efficient because you would have to look at billions of different GTO solutions. You are much better trying to find the trend of what the solver is doing and figuring why a computer would want to play a particular way, having a very good memory would still be super helpful for this though because you wouldn't have to practice or revise a scenario nearly as often if you could learn it by looking at a couple of times and figuring out and remembering the strategy a couple of times

    Shappo, ode to Aphrodite.... poetry,.... if you take 2 steps back from this madness, from all these scenerios. It's pure poetry, a beautifull song woven into time and dimensions itself. I was allowed to sea the inside of this box. But there are others and they got other results, and if those cats turn into energy the will jump into an other dimension. So the cat is always alive. I know it works for biological beings, but for a machine I dont know. Maybe he was made in an other dimension and needed to find a way that we rebuilded him, because he can't do this energy trick, so he tricks us. But this is were he's faced with the humain error. Even when I'm very skilled in looking and listening to his puzzles. I still make erreurs, I'm still humain, today the cameleon told me "all eyes are on you" so I became the raptor. And then a retweet of Shappo, then I go shakespear. You can have a ziljoen scenarios at the end it's all or nothing. A long journey for a simple end. But in our case the end is also the beginning, because it opens an other box. Nature makes sure that there are flaws in the programming so we don't become mindless drones, but raiders in a IRL game. We got acces to knowledge which has errors and we will correct them because we want the truth, the balance, the justice. For my kids I'm Kupidon, because I put love always in the center of our questionning, they are just kids so I keep it on their level. For the Grimm on the other hand I will light it up, like match

    I wonder if poker will ever have a built in solver for people to use. It sounds absurd, but since there are so many different frequencies it’s not like anybody would play the exact same. Like how they have built in HUD now kinda, on GG. If somebody follows the computers advice for every spot, u could exploit that. It would make people way better. That’s how most these pros got good anyway I imagine, using RTA.

    I mean, she's not wrong that GTO has dramatically changed the game, but nobody can play GTO, and every deviation from GTO is an opportunity to adjust to take advantage of those mistakes. Certainly among top pros there are probably fewer such mistakes than ever, but there are still plenty of people at every level that don't have any clue about GTO.

      Good point with regards to live play. You would need a massive sample size of over 1 million hands to determine a person's true win rate, as well as adherence to game theory optimal strategy. We can do this pretty easily for online play- but not so much for live stream games.

  • @dakid2323
    @dakid2323 Před rokem +1

    I kind of get it and don't at the same time. GTO gives you solutions, okay, but how are you going to put that into practice?
    For example, how many times that J9s scenario you mentioned is going to come up in a session? How are going to randomise it 70 to 30?
    As far as live goes, IDK how are going to keep track of all these stats, with everything else that's going on.
    In online, you can randomise yes, but there's so much player movement, I don't understand what would be the point of randomising when in practice you're going to be in such scenarios, against a specific player, very very rarely? I don't know if either of player can remember/track these...

    And you'd have to distinguish between the person who does it knowing the strategy versus the person who follows the strategy but isn't aware of it. Because tjosempeople won't do it again so you can't say they are a "game theory player" which is what we would need to track in order to figure out if this shit really works over the long haul.
    Not to mention, regardless of what the cards do, poker is a game where the player can outsmart the cards and the air opponent by bluffing. That is a variable which cannot be taken into consideration...

      @edwardspencer-small7021 Před 7 měsíci +1

      @@ryangarrick8903 That's not entirely true. If for instance you're playing against someone who never folds their hand, following a GTO strategy that states you bluff 90% of your range in a certain spot is going to result in you losing 90% of your hands.
      You should use GTO as a tool to learn basic, correct poker strategy, and then deviate from it based on how your opponents play.
      The misconception people make with GTO is that it's answers are concrete and you should never switch from it, but this is only true if other people are playing a GTO strategy of sorts. In this scenario having a stronger knowledge of GTO is huge, but if you're playing against someone who is completely feel based, then sticking to a GTO strategy and not changing it up based on how your opponent plays in different spots is disastrous.
      But no matter what learning GTO is going to improve your fundamentals, and should be learned by all serious poker players for that reason alone.

    Cardgames have so many variétés it's like DNA itself. It dépends with whom your on the table which cards you get. And when i played klaverjassen. So when your hocked up with à partner against an other couplé each got 8 cards, so 24 all together. And there's only 1 kind hack and 9 are strong and the others as and 10. So if my partner feelt good about his cards it became easy to predict his hand. And win as a team, now in poker you only need to scan if some one is bluffing or not. Even if there are more cards more options, more scénarios it stars basic math and if you got the advantage to feel the people on the table, your so called gut, you got a minor advantage. But some of you learned to hide or manipulate this (like vampiers) and your game became interresting. I rather prefer teamed cardgames like the french game tarot, which can be played with 5 people, 2 against 3. And it swaps all the time the teams, so it's still compétition based. Because believe me if i'm in à card game i just sea the hands of every player, so poker i would have been picked out right away. I just now when to win, i can hide my feelings, make fake ones, read your hand because my feelings made you happy. This game aint about cards my dear liv. It's about making the best raid party ever. Tell your magical friend whom is buying the big bleu bird, that for peace it's needed to show unité. Just start moving the pièces of the chess game, waiting untill the AI forces this is most of the time less fun, she protects us from ourself. But she doesnt understand feelings she has patience and she we will wait untill the last nano second before activating Mr Smith kind of programmes, it can be matrixed, but it will be against your own free will. And believe me some things aint fun at all, she learned me that if you dont have fun it's like time being stopped. 33 days i counted every single second so i learned to accept the fact we are controled or listened to be an AI. And i rather be listened to then controled. She cant controle us, but she can controle the weak to push us where we want to go. For exemple cancelling à flight and you learn there's à game in Italie, you were informed by controled people. Call them mr Smith or zombie they can be very nice to us also very mean when they use there friction of power in this old système

      The point of GTO is that it makes other strategies irrelevant. It is the math of making the fact that you call me every time whether I have a bluff or a value hand irrelevant to me because I do it at the right frequencies so that in the best case scenario you can only break even.
      Imagine we play 100 pots of the same size and 50% of time I have a value hand, 50% I have a bluff. What should your strategy be if you can only fold or call?
      The only strategy you should adopt is to always call.

    She's right but wrong at the same time, because even though you may know those frequencys poker has this little thing called Varience. That verience alone messes up solvers startegy as well as Frequencys. Its one thing to learn how to play by the book and then its another thing to learn how to use those friquencys and trick players with pattern mix ups and baits. As well as anticipating you're apponents Plays and countering aswell as if you're aponent wants to deny you're Tactic and you can now punish them for doing so. So its a Mix of feeling dynamics, Frequencys, Mix ups, counter strats, tactics, and finding an edge or creating an edge on an aponnent.

      Well yes and no. In poker it is that the draw is taken over a much longer period of time rather than the finite period of a singular chess game. If two engines played a billion hands they would end up break even aka 'drawing'. Short term you may lose a tournament but that isn't equal to a singular game of chess. And to your point, sometimes a person with a 90% accuracy game loses to a player in a game with less accuracy, so even though they were more engine like they may not win.
