Poker Strategy Info And Source:
Rock Paper Scissors is one of the first strategy games you come across when learning GTO poker. The comparison between poker and RPS will help you deeply understand the arguments for either adopting a GTO or an exploitative play style. The truth is that GTO and exploitative poker are interrelated, and this simple exploration will help you visualize exactly how that is.
In this video, James “SplitSuit” Sweeney breaks down the simple strategy game “Rock Paper Scissors” , or RPS, to help explain a more complex game like poker. Get the perfect Rock Paper Scissors strategy, how to adjust your strategy when your opponent deviates, and how this compares to game theory optimal (GTO) poker. Note how the different payoff tables between the two games, along with the number of possible decisions within the game tree, make poker infinitely more complex than RPS. So much so that RPS is considered “strongly solved” while NLHE poker is still not even considered solved.

I use the Bart Simpson strategy! I always use rock. Never fails! 😉
Great video. I've been telling people this concept for years. The solvers are wonderful for what they are and can improve your game. They are a tool in your arsenal. However, you are playing against humans who get tired, make bad decisions, misread cards, play illradically, etc. That brings us to the intersection of GTO and explosive. If you know your opponent you can (depending on the situation) win with the worse hand of the eight players at your table. This is what makes this weakly solvable game so fascinating.
You didn’t answer the obvious question: can you expect to win playing GTO against humans or you will always get even in the long run?

There was a guy that won the world championship for rock paper scissors 3 years in a row. And surprise, he was using exploitative play, not GTO
I have used RPS in Charity tournaments and have finished at the final table 9/10 times. None of these people understand what solvers are or even care. Sometimes people make poker far to complex. If you are in a fast tournament with blinds of under 20 minutes you need to come out firing. Waiting around will get you killed offs seen it hundreds of times.
Hey man,
Does your book focus on 6max cash game or MTTs as well?
Great video / information. Love the way you broke it down, sort of a new way (to me) of thinking about both. Also, the video edits are great hahaa – Dad joke… 😆😆😂
