"GTO" players can be exploited in two ways:

1) Unless one's name rhymes with 'minus' their game is likely not close to being close to GTO

2) GTO assumes that one cannot see their opponents cards. Even a partial violation of that (say live reads) invalidates the notion.

@MagnusCarlsen Congrats on your win Magnus! Btw, I hope you know that @Polymarket has declared you a loser effectively denying a lot of your fans, their owed winnings. https://t.co/J3fjkNDWBq

[Duncan Palamourdas @AskTheMathDr]

@GMHikaru It gets even worse. Apparently @Polymarket decided that both Magnus and Nepo lost, effectively denying fans millions of dollars: https://t.co/J3fjkNDWBq

[Duncan Palamourdas @AskTheMathDr]

According to @polymarket apparently Magnus lost: https://t.co/J3fjkNDWBq

[Duncan Palamourdas @AskTheMathDr]

@chesscom Not according to @polymarket, they are not! https://t.co/J3fjkNDWBq

[Duncan Palamourdas @AskTheMathDr]

@GothamChess Levy, just so you know @polymarket decided to declare both Magnus and Nepo as *losers* for the purposes of the bet, effectively robbing the fans of both.

Happy New Year https://t.co/J3fjkNDWBq

[Duncan Palamourdas @AskTheMathDr]

Yet @Polymarket 's current resolution is that both Magnus and Nepo LOST. This is honestly very damaging for their reputation.

[Duncan Palamourdas @AskTheMathDr]

@DefiJason @Polymarket Because they do not know how to handle it. They are bound by chain technicalities, which should frankly should be irrelevant here. @Polymarket needs to step up reverse all action and refund everyone.

[Duncan Palamourdas @AskTheMathDr]

For the sake of their reputation I hope that @Polymarket cancels all bets and returns participants their money. Current resolution: Magnus: 0%, Nepo: 0%.

THERE ARE TWO WINNERS!! 🏆🤝🏆

After several overtime draws, Ian and Magnus agree to SHARE the FIDE World Blitz Chess Champion title! Absolutely insane on New Years Eve 🎉

[Duncan Palamourdas @AskTheMathDr]

@AlirezaFirouzja Or if you are @polymarket, a ghost named "other" won the championship. https://t.co/JkFN4p54hq

To reach the path of least resistance one often has to first conquer the maximally obstructed trail which precedes it.

What do you think of the "Goggins Principle"? (any path which leads to meaningful mental or physical growth is paved with a terrifying amount of inescapable pain and suffering)

[Duncan Palamourdas @AskTheMathDr]

@TheTommyAngelo I am wondering, what do you think of practices like those of @davidgoggins which focus on both pain and suffering as their main vehicles towards growth?

[Duncan Palamourdas @AskTheMathDr]

Live NL is not the sum of its parts. Maximizing the EV of each hand does not necessarily translate into maximizing the total EV of the session.

@Breyer52 @thinkingpoker @HipHop101Trivia Thank you for your kind words.

[Duncan Palamourdas @AskTheMathDr]

@thinkingpoker @JoINrbs "What are some key aspects in a PvE game that keep it fresh and can make it potentially indefinitely replayable?"

[Duncan Palamourdas @AskTheMathDr]

Τhank you for having me @thinkingpoker and @HipHop101Trivia. It was a lot of fun!

[Andrew Brokos @thinkingpoker]

What a blast talking poker with @AskTheMathDr and @HipHop101Trivia! Why do people *really* play poker? How do strategies evolve? How do "GTO" players find edges vs each other? This is such a fun episode!
