Daniel Negreanu

think that I bluff too much, right?

Then I'm not going to bluff as much.

I'm going to start, instead of betting these hands that I would 50-50, now what I'll do is I'll do like 70-30, where I'm basically value betting most of the time against you, you know, or vice versa.

If I know you always fold because you think I have it, I'm going to veer the other way.

And instead of bluffing 50%, I'll bluff 70-80% of the time to take advantage of your perception of me.

I think it's really important.

Like when I play, I have in my phone, I have a player profile of everyone that I play with whenever I pick up, whether it's physical tells or tendencies they like to, you know, that they have.

And overall, that's just going to, you know, that's going to allow you to exploit more, right?

So like if I played with somebody I've never played before, I'm probably just going to play optimally or at least as optimal as I know how until I start to, you know, gain some information on that player so that I can start to exploit them.

Yeah.

So that's like sort of the big debate in poker.

We call it for short GTO, game theory optimal versus exploitative play.

So GTO, game theory optimal is the idea that no, like I'm going to set up my play so that no matter what you do, you cannot exploit me.

So essentially that's playing rock, paper, scissors, right?

And throwing 33% of each every time, right?

Nothing you do can beat that.

Nothing.

You'll never be able to beat that.

right?

Exploitative play is starting to notice that, okay, well, you know what?
