I started studying GTO a little while ago, and let me tell you: I was blown away by the number of mistakes I was—and still am—making in my game. Anyone who thinks they don't need to study is sorely mistaken. Here’s an example: have you ever studied how to play against a 5-bet? It’s an uncommon situation, but the first time I studied how to react to a 5-bet, I got it wrong all ten times I tried. In short, study so you can stop complaining about cashing (making the money) but failing to reach the final table or semi-final. GG.
