What you have described is how we change our range based on what we know villain knows we know and so on. You can continue that I know you know I know thing infinitely. And then at some point, maybe you will reach "equilibrium" where both guys play only AA or something like that. But designing ranges can be done with math. GTO is a mathematical concept, as I explained before. We can take villain's range and find a mathematically perfect way to react to that. GTO has nothing to do with how we think or how villain thinks. So, you can't say that different thought processes ultimately lead to GTO. — Pokerguy
We all already know these things. "What I did was arrange all Poker theory into the Levels of Thought. And it works perfectly." That is like putting a solid block of iron to a fish soup and saying it is tasty. You have just mixed up concepts that everyone already knows and described them in an incredibly complex way. It adds no value to us. — Pokerguy
The problem is, this unbeatable strategy is like the Anti-game. It sucks the potential for profit from the game, and by corrupting the minds of the players it is secretly sucking the life out of our society. — Yadoula
They say that GTO is a complex mathematical equation and can not be calculated using the mind without using some complex math.
I can prove they are wrong very easily, this is rediculous, but I just get blocked and banned from their sites. They mock me and then quickly silence me. — Yadoula
They said pretty clearly about 100 times that; "GTO has nothing to do with thoughts". "You cant reach GTO using thoughts alone". "You need math to find GTO".
I'm saying that both, using the math, and, using these Levels, leads you to the same set of moves. The same strategy. GTO. — Yadoula
Thus the only real way to approach the game is to act purely randomly so that the opponent has no information about how they play. No ranges, no rules, no conditions for raising or folding. Just outright random behaviour.
Ultimately this turns the game into one of pure luck. — Pilgrim
This means that if you learn GTO before learning how to exploit, your mind will stop you from being able to see how to exploit. — Yadoula
Information has some value of course, but in the end it doesn't matter how much information you have, a pair will still lose to three of a kind — ChatteringMonkey
Certain hands have more value than others, the lack of information given by playing randomly will never make up for the difference in value between hands — ChatteringMonkey
The "art" of poker relies on the fact that so many people stupidly study the game and all get marched down the same set of teaching and thus all end up with playing styles which are predictable.
Only a fool would go into a poker game using any kind of pattern or ruleset for their moves.
At the most crass end of this spectrum I just shove all in every hand, what you do is of no consequence.
If you fold I get the blinds, if you play then luck determines the outcome. — Pilgrim
