How Will Octopi Poker Help Me?
If you are skeptical about GTO solvers and AI-powered poker training tools, you may have a point, as many such tools are either too hard for beginners to use, or not truly useful in real-world scenarios.
Octopi Poker, unlike such tools, is designed specifically with an average poker player in mind, as it looks to bridge the gap between GTO poker strategies and regular poker players.
The Octopi Academy gives you access to free courses that teach tournament poker strategy from the ground up, applying both GTO and exploitative strategies.
A state-of-the-art GTO Trainer tool is one of the most exciting parts of Octopi Poker, as it gives players a chance to practice for common tournament poker spots without having to run complex GTO sims.
The software is designed for complete novices to use, and is intuitive enough for anyone who plays poker to understand and make use of.
The Vault, only available in the Professional subscription model, gives you access to hundreds of hands played by top-level professionals, along with Octopi Poker’s professional assessment of each play made across the hands.
All of these tools can now be yours at a reduced price, as using promo codes HELLMUTH and POKERFUSE will get you a 20% discount and two free months of use.
Is Phil Hellmuth Finally Admitting GTO Poker Works?
For many years, Phil Hellmuth has been one of the most adamant opponents of the GTO poker strategy and computer simulations. Now, he seems to have finally found a product in the GTO poker space that he can believe in.
The greatest WSOP champion of all time joined Octopi Poker as both a brand ambassador and an investor, which means he must truly believe in the product being pushed.
Speaking about the merits of GTO poker, Hellmuth said: “I have never been a huge fan of straight GTO — I believe it helps 80% of players — but solvers are hard to argue against. The science is quite strong.”
Now that Hellmuth has finally admitted that GTO poker works, it remains to be seen whether he will take lessons from Octopi Poker and introduce more GTO poker strategy into his own game over the coming WSOP and events to come.
In either case, Octopi Poker stands to gain a lot of exposure through its partnership with Phil Hellmuth, as the Poker Brat remains one of the most popular poker players on the face of Earth.
Hellmuth Does an AMA on Octopi Poker’s Reddit Account
In an effort to promote his joining the Octopi Poker team, Phil Hellmuth took to the r/Poker community on Reddit and threw a massive AMA session, answering hundreds of user questions from Octopi Poker’s official Reddit account.
Fans and haters alike had a chance to ask Phil anything they wanted, and the champion answered many of the questions in his characteristic style.
One user asked: “Online tracking shows that you’ve lost $956,040 over all the live-streamed games you’ve played in over the past 20 years. Why do you think you have such a tough time beating live-streamed cash games?”
To this, Hellmtuh simply responded: Online tracking is WAY off! How insulting! I won 22-out-of-23 sessions of filming from 2013 to 2020. Including the biggest winner in “Rob’s Game” for like $400,000! I did have some losses the last few years, but more wins than losses
Looking to get some insights into the high-stakes gambling world, another user asked: “Is the loss to Ivey in Chinese still one of the biggest losses?”
Hellmuth’s response was: “It is still my biggest loss in a single day! I had just been paid $5M, and learned a lesson. Digest the money before you play high-stakes poker!! “
