GTO Poker Simplified: Strategy lessons from the solvers that any cash game or tournament player can apply to their game

Introducing "GTO Poker Simplified"

Game Theory Optimal (GTO) poker strategy has revolutionized the world of poker. While it has significantly influenced how elite professionals approach the game, many players find it intimidating and out of reach. Contrary to the belief that only ‘GTO Wizards’ can master these strategies, anyone can learn and apply lessons from modern solver technology to improve their game.

"GTO Poker Simplified" demystifies GTO concepts, making them accessible to all players. The book provides clear, actionable changes that can quickly elevate your game to modern standards. It contains groundbreaking insights that even many professional players are unaware of, including:

• Playing your range instead of focusing solely on your hand.
• Using blockers to determine optimal bluffing and hero calls.
• Constructing unexploitable ranges for consistent play.
• Optimal bet sizing strategies, ranging from small bets to overbets.
• Choosing the best bluffs and value bets effectively.
• Adapting strategies against both recreational players and top professionals.

Dara O’Kearney, a renowned professional poker player and Unibet Pro, co-hosts "The Chip Race Podcast" and is known for his expertise in modern solver technology. He has co-authored several acclaimed poker strategy books, including "Poker Satellite Strategy," "PKO Poker Strategy," and "Endgame Poker Strategy."

In this book, Dara empowers amateur players to adopt the advanced strategies of super high rollers. Covering everything from preflop ranges and post-flop play to multiway pots, ICM, tournaments, cash games, mindset, bankroll management, and player populations, "GTO Poker Simplified" is a comprehensive guide to playing optimal poker at any stakes and skill level.

Important Note for Readers: Some early readers encountered difficulties with the solver images in the book, mistaking them for printing issues. This confusion arose because they skipped the initial chapter, "Read This First," which explains how to interpret the hand charts. We have renamed this chapter to "Do Not Skip This Section" to emphasize its importance. Please read it to fully understand and utilize the book's content.

Praise for Dara O’Kearney: "Dara is one of the best modern-day poker teachers. GTO concepts can be overwhelming, but in this book, he smooths them out nicely. Dara makes hard poker content easy to understand and digest. Another brilliant addition to his poker book series."
