**Nash Equilibrium**: A strategy where no player can improve their EV by unilaterally changing their strategy **Unexploitable**: A GTO strategy guarantees at least 0 EV against any opponent (ignoring rake) **Baseline, not maximum**: GTO is your defensive strategy — maximally exploitative play earns more against weak opponents
**Minimum Defense Frequency (MDF)**: How often you must continue facing a bet so the opponent cannot profitably bluff with any two cards. Formula: MDF = Pot / (Pot + Bet). **Alpha**: The bluff-to-value ratio that makes the opponent indifferent to calling. Alpha = Bet / (Pot + Bet). **Indifference**: The core GTO principle — make opponents indifferent between actions so they cannot exploit you regardless of what they choose
**Foundation for exploitation**: You cannot exploit what you do not understand **Defense against strong players**: Against good regulars who balance well, you need GTO to survive **Framework for analysis**: Use solver outputs to understand "correct" frequencies, then adapt **Spot inefficiencies**: See where human play deviates from optimal and exploit those gaps
Full GTO is computationally infeasible for NLHE — we use abstractions and approximations GTO does not maximize win rate against weak players (by definition, it is defensive) Multiway pots have no true Nash solution — solvers use simplifying assumptions Rake and ICM considerations change what "optimal" means in practice

Game Theory Optimal (GTO) poker is about playing an unexploitable strategy. Understanding GTO gives you a baseline from which to deviate intentionally.
