Poker is already a complex game—but many players try to make it easier by using simplified poker strategies. Whether it’s range c-betting 1/3 pot, 3-bet-only from the small blind, or avoiding donk bets entirely, the goal is always the same: reduce decisions & reduce errors. But is simplifying your strategy actually helping your win rate? Or is it quietly costing you chips?

In this episode of the Red Chip Poker Podcast, we explore the real trade-offs behind simplified poker strategies, their relationship to GTO solver output, and the critical distinction between playing GTO and playing exploitatively. This is a must-listen for serious players diving into solvers and anyone questioning whether "just keeping it simple" is the right approach.

🔍 You’ll learn:

• What simplified poker strategies really are (and what they’re not)
• How EV loss in solvers is often misunderstood
• Why simplified strategies may shift complexity to later streets
• The #1 mistake players make when comparing GTO models

When simplification actually makes sense—especially from an exploitative lens.
