In 2026, do you think players who understand coding and algorithms have a natural edge in understanding GTO (Game Theory Optimal) play? Or does 'thinking like a computer' make us too predictable against 'feel' players

Those who study poker and understand the players at the top will easily reach the top as well, based on what they have in common to get there. For example, the hand rankings of the best players are very similar.
