I am interested in learning where everyone here falls in the debate over GTO vs Exploitative play. Now I know that no human can play a perfect GTO strategy, but with putting in work off the felt, you can come pretty close. So, before people fire off on that tangent, the debate is not whether GTO can be achieved, it is which strategy is the best at what level.

Personally, I play a mixed strategy. I start with a baseline GTO while I evaluate the other players at my table and look for leaks and spots that I can exploit. I find at the lower levels, it is much harder to play pure GTO because the opponents are (for the most part) SOOOO bad (there are some very good players there too, but few and far between). You would think that a GTO strategy would be great at this level, but I find that it's hard to play GTO when the pther players either 1. Don't have a clue what you...or they...are doing and are calling off 4-bet all ins with 53o or 2. They play so obvious that you have to take a straightforward approach and 3. You see so many leaks from other players that NOT playing exploitively leaves a whole lot of chips on the table. At higher levels, I tend to stick to try to play as close to GTO as I can, but there are still leaks that you find and can go after.

I would like everyone else's opinions on this. Do you see the same things at the tables? What strategy do you prefer?
