I disagree vehemently that GTO play is absolutely mandatory. It's true that there are ways to basically guarantee profit in the long run, but the long run can only apply to cash games. In multi-table tournaments and sit and goes, you never get to the long run. Maybe GTO probabilistic play can still lead to an overall profit there, but--and this is the critical point--in those formats it's hardly the only way to turn a profit, precisely because the long run is never reached.

I know one thing--to me, poker is and always has been playing your fellow PLAYERS before playing your cards, and I've managed to find at least modest success that way so far. When I'm sat with people who rely on people who treat GTO probability as gospel, all that means to me is that they're going to be marvellously predictable. Sure, I'll have to get lucky to beat them, but there's only so long you can play poker without seeing [I]any[/I] lucky outcomes. That's what managing the luck [I]is.[/I]
