There is a common misconception that you do not need to study Game Theory Optimal (GTO) strategies if you frequent low-to-mid-stakes games. While it is true that many players at these limits stray far away from equilibrium, using a solver like GTO Wizard can still provide significant benefits.
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.

Aleksejs Ponakovs A♣K♥ opened to 400,000 from the button, and Adrian Mateos A♠J♠ defended his big blind.
Ponakovs made top pair, top kicker, on the K♣5♦3♠ flop and continued for 250,000. Mateos called with his ace-high.
Mateos checked on the 8♦ turn, and Ponakovs sized up to 1,500,000. Mateos was a non-believer and called once more.
There was 4,600,000 in the pot when the 9♣ arrived. Mateos had 4,200,000 behind and was covered by Ponakovs' all in. Mateos released his hand, and Ponakovs returned to the top of the counts.
