Basic GTO vs street poker: two rulers
Equilibrium is the floor; reading people is the ceiling. Tournament pressure punishes the wrong ruler.

GTO is the hard-to-exploit baseline: frequencies, ranges, balance. Use it vs tough fields and to audit your leaks.
Street / live poker harvests tendencies: over-calling, fear, emotion. Live tables leave the textbook—but don’t use that as an excuse to skip fundamentals.
In practice: GTO as the floor, exploit when you see soft spots; on bubbles and final tables, ask payouts before vibes.
