In some hypothetical situation (the specifics of which aren't terribly important) I know that two possible reasons for choosing near-game theory optimal strategy as opposed to near-optimal exploitive strategy are for playing against unknowns and for playing against someone who adjusts better than you. Are there others?

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

I think it also applies when both you and your opponent are good enough to start getting several levels deep in thinking at which point game theory becomes the easier option.

For plaing when you aren't sure what your perceived range is?
I'm not on that chapter of mathematics of poker yet btw.

Maybe we could expand on this to say it could be useful when our range is much more clear/obvious than our opponents' (for whatever reasons). But then again I'm not sure if that really is a good reason.
