Level 5 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Action was three-handed on the 10♥7♦9♦ flop, and Espen Jorstad checked from the big blind. Vladas Tamasauskas followed with a check in middle position, and Rokas Asipauskas slid out a bet of 27,000 on the button.

Jorstad was the only caller to the 4♦ turn, and led out for 32,000. Asipauskas took a moment before letting his hand go, and Jorstad collected the chips.

How to Exploit Non-GTO Players With GTO Wizard

Kaelaine Minton

Level 4 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Knowing about poker's fundamental factors and strategic concepts, and being able to identify what your opponents are doing wrong, enables you to devise a strategy to capitalize on those errors.
