What is Exploitative Play in poker?

Exploitative play is the opposite approach to GTO: rather than balancing your ranges, you identify a specific opponent\u2019s weaknesses and adjust your strategy aggressively to punish them, even though your resulting frequencies are no longer theoretically balanced. At most PokerClub tables, exploitative adjustments outperform pure GTO play, since recreational opponents make consistent, exploitable mistakes rather than playing a balanced, unexploitable style.

Exploitative Play (Exploitative Play) belongs to the Advanced terms group of poker terms and shows up in almost every hand of Texas Hold'em.
