Ask Xenoblade what is not a "basic of basic" gto advice 😃
I want to watch him explaining it.
I guess specifics are useful as opposed to just, play exploit if you spot leak, otherwise play default GTO strat
my main gripe is playing “GTO” is not that simple and this advice although true doesn’t really help someone who’s struggling? at least I’d think so
sorry for coming off as a prick
Well if you are moving up, find the best quality commercial videos and try to be inspired by the game to get better at it.
Don't just go do some studying mindlessly for 10 hours in one sitting, and then forget about it for 3 months.
Rather just do 60min/day, 5 days a week.
Also find a friend that plays around the same stakes and you can also go rent a server and solve some sims and study that way.
Do you think it's essential to run your own sims these days still or can we get by with extrapolating just from commericial sims?
Do commercial sims first, but keep open minded to the option to rent a server for a month or ask someone who does it if he could let you on it, and if you could play around with it yourself.
Myself I haven't watched a commercial video or any of those tools in years, because I think I can be more efficient doing it myself.
Though right now I am in "cooldown" period and don't study.
Would be nice when those commercial Wizards become good enough where it doesn't lag and can go play out some hands/situations on their website, so I wouldn't have to spend time organizing it myself.
I think I stolen this thread a bit :P just wanted to be included. Waiting for Berri-Sanita match to resume.

Thanks for all the insights, was very interesting!
6max.
Where you think should be the edits?
HU list???????
Someone told me that Berri vs asianflushie 800/1600 was going on for 2 years.
I guess it will come down to trench warfare and war of attrition between these two.
I am rooting for a youngster though.
I am still curious what exactly Berri meant by “we fight to death”. Like, hes down 5 magas and keeps going?
Depends how we define it.
omaha4rollz up the most money in 6max PLO? He put himself into a position to get to those situations.
#8 doesn't play much 6max PLO so guess we can remove it, and ok 10 we can change also. Let's add Pollo32 and Acheron then.

I remember when they asked Berri who were the toughest opponents he played HU and he said:
1. asianflushie
2. Makeboifin
3. LLinusLLove
Do you Know if they were playing on Stars? If I'm not mistaken Asianflushie has been banned from PS.

Linus quit playing against Asianflushie, so he must be insanely good. 800/1600 is Crazy stakes too, especially facing those kind of HU swings:shocked::shocked::shocked:
