I think the Amso RTA thing started with Phil Galfonds video when he said that often something Amso does doesn't seem like a thing a solver would do, and then Phil would see that thing in the solver.
A lot of the comments started asking if Phil believes Amso is using RTA, which he had to answer in the pinned comment that he simply implied that Amso is very studied in GTO and does not believe he is using RTA.
Checking back the omega wrap with fd IP heads up at least some of the time seems pretty straight forward

there is no "Amso RTA thing". the people who think there is are the same people who believe BERRI is misreading his hand when taking a bet/bet/bet all-in line.

obviously. this RTA talk is just nonsense written by nut peddlers who must bet when they flop the nuts, because good hand = bet and bad hand = check/fold. you don't need a damn RTA to help you remember to check back the top of your range sometimes, unless you're a moron and/or a novice player.
"He checked back the omega-nuts on the flop in a 4bet pot? Gotta be cheating. I would've bet. Very strange move."
My point is mostly that people shouldn't make unfounded claims about the other side using RTA when this is the main place people come to rail the match.
the RTA thing is just funny. Go watch the podcast of raulgonzales the german HS guy, where he talks about how berri was playing this unorthodox style doing alot of exploits while still crushing him, when he was playing as close to optimal as possible. It comes to a point where these HS guys are adjusting and readjusting to the Meta, while we are just not aware of whats actually going on. by that stage GTO solutions are useless

Sorry to burst your bubble but you can't "get crushed" playing GTO, at worst you would breakeven (hint: you wouldn't).
the only way to win vs a GTO enthusiast such as AmSo is to misread your hand.
If work ethic was a cheat, I feel like way too many of my opponents are cheating.
(On a serious note AmSoGood is clearly not cheating)
