With all the solver content out there, it feels like everyone is trying to play perfectly balanced poker. But at lower stakes, are we missing easy exploit spots by sticking too close to theory? I sometimes wonder if simple adjustments beat “perfect” play in soft games. Curious how you all balance GTO vs. pure exploitation.
