So how would you beat an opponent playing GTO Rock, Paper, Scissors? Well, you’d have to deviate from time to time. If you know your opponent is going to throw Rock 33% of the time and you see them throw Rock five times in a row, you can be fairly certain that Rock won’t show up very often in the next few throws. You now have a 50% chance they will throw Paper and a 50% chance they will throw Scissors. Your optimal strategy here would be to throw Scissors.

With a balanced, GTO-based strategy, you will win money in the long run regardless of how skillful your opponents are. Making adjustments to counter your opponents is easier if you have a baseline strategy from which to adjust (more on this later). Modern Poker Theory uses modern poker tools to develop a systematic approach to the analysis of GTO. It organizes the ideas and concepts in an intuitive manner that is totally focused to practical applications.

• Your Scissors vs Opponent’s Scissors = a tie.
• Your Scissors vs Opponent’s Paper = a win for you.

You could play your Scissors strategy until your opponent throws a Rock, then revert back to GTO strategy. Once you see a pattern again you can deviate from GTO to create a winning strategy.

You’re probably thinking, “Great, I’m a Rock, Paper, Scissors pro…what does this have to do with poker?”. Well GTO, in its very basic form, is just the art of perfect balance. Let’s explain in poker terms.

• Rock = Raise for value 33%
• Paper = Check 33%
• Scissors = Raise as bluff 33%

Let’s say on the river the above were your three options. Just as in Rock, Paper, Scissors, you’ll need to find the right balance. Of course, with poker it’s much more complicated, based on many different factors including your opponent.

Whilst the perfect balance may be to bluff the river 33% of the time, it wouldn’t make sense to bluff an opponent you know will call you 100% of the time. In this case you can only raise your value hands and check your weaker hands.

However, if this opponent notices that you only ever bet on the river with value hands, so starts folding, they are exploiting your play. You could then start to bluff the river, exploiting their play, until they figure out you are bluffing. After they figure out you only bluff the river, you could revert back to GTO of 33% bluff, 33% value, 33% check making us much tougher to play against. Again, we can deviate from GTO where doing so makes sense.

GTO is really not too important at lower stakes games, but is important for high stakes, nosebleed games and high rollers. For most of us, whilst it’s good knowledge to have, it’s probably not as important as balancing our value bets, bluffs and calls to exploit our opponents.

This week we’re playing a common spot in a cash game where you reraise on the Button against an open raise from the Cutoff seat and the Cutoff calls. As the preflop 3-bettor, the Villain will check to you on the vast majority of flops. You can generally follow up with a small continuation bet on most boards.

With potential multi-street value betting hands such as top pair good kicker, you should always pay close attention to how the turn and river cards can interact with Villain’s range. When the turn and/or river cards connect well with the Villain's range and make it difficult to get value from worse hands than your top pair, you should usually slow down in position and get to showdown.

You should generally fire again on the turn using a larger sizing when you hold 4 cards to a broadway straight. There are a couple reasons for this. The value of the draw itself allows you to include these hands in your semi bluffing range, which provides balance to your made hands. Also, these hands by definition have blockers to good one pair hands. For example, it’s hard for your opponent to have AK when you hold KQ on an AT56 board.

When your opponent check-raises on the flop and you call, you should be willing to check back on the turn with many hands that have reasonable amounts of equity and potential showdown value. You can sometimes extract more on the river by taking this line. If you bet the turn, Villain will often fold with the weak hands and bluffs in their range.
