GTO or PTO?

GTO - game theory optimal. Learning how to play in such a way that nobody can exploit you.

Downsides. Most people that try to learn it don’t. Because it’s very hard. And even those that come close don’t understand how to deviate to exploit others. So they are winning the minimum most of the time.

PTO - Population Theory Optimal or Pool Theory Optimal. Learning the habits and tendencies of the pool of players you play in and creating strategies against them as a group and individually to maximally exploit them.

Downsides: if any of them ever smarten up and decided to exploit you getting out of line they could wreck you. This just isn’t going to happen at 1/2 or 1/3 stakes. And if anyone is capable of doing it you will know who they are very quickly and not fall prey to that.

Online coaching gurus are doing this with databases bought or collected from online play. It’s called mass data analysis or MDA.

In live play you don’t have a database other than the one you collect in your brain by playing. So you can’t get it by either playing for many many years. Or by being taught by someone who has.
