In the debut episode of Season 6 of the Red Chip Poker podcast, coach w34z3l discusses the concept of “pseudo balance.” You may already be familiar with the idea of balance in a GTO context. One common example is the “correct” ratio of bluffs to value bets on the river.
But what if your opponent strays far from GTO lines? Bluffing with a GTO frequency into someone who never folds, for example, is clearly an error. Enter pseudo balance. A partial but non-GTO form of balance perfect for practical play.
