    You can safely assume a lot of things about an unknown live poker player. He's probably far too loose and passive in every spot preflop and postflop. He's probably utterly unaware of his range in most spots, especially uncommon turn and river spots, and you can infer based on the situation that he's likely to be bluffing far too often or not nearly enough.

    GTO isn't necessarily all about defensive/unexploitable play. GTO is the natural endpoint of two perfect players adjusting to one another ad infinitum. So they are each exploiting each other to the maximum extent, in a way.

    yeah this is a good post again.

    The way I've tried to implement my limited game theory knowledge is mostly in understanding my own range:

    In this position, given previous action, my range looks like X; how many value hands do I have here, how much of his range do I extract value from, how much will he call with the weaker parts of his range, how many better hands do I fold out, how often do I need to call given he is bluffing XX% of the time.
    Playing big pots at small stakes.
