Sklansky Poker Theory

1. In this article I will lay out the foundational knowledge required to begin learning modern GTO (Game Theory Optimal) poker. At this point, the GTO vs Exploitative debate has essentially been settled and most reasonable people have acknowledged that if you want to be a profitable poker player you need to have a solid understanding of theory.
2. Although poker contains elements of randomness and gambling, there is a substantial amount of skill involved in understanding probability and game theory. Poker strategy typically involves an application of these concepts to improve one's chance of winning. Over the long run of rounds and games, higher skilled players tend to win more.

Poker is any of a number of card games in which players wager over which hand is best according to that specific game's rules in ways similar to these rankings.Often using a standard deck, poker games vary in deck configuration, the number of cards in play, the number dealt face up or face down, and the number shared by all players, but all have rules which involve one or more rounds of betting.
