Francesco Lacriola explores how to maximize EV against bad players which typically involves deviating substantially from solver-approved plays in an effort to go for the maximally exploitative play.

I really like the focus on explotitive play in this video. It is similar to the video adam crawford just put out. I don't think we get enough of this kind of content as everything is so gto centric. It's good to step outside of the box sometimes especially when dealing with weaker players where non gto play is going to be more successful.

on the last hand im confused about the possible jam with AJ theres not much protection and it seems like you just push off bluffs. some of them have a bit of equity but it doesnt make much sense to me still especially considering that you labeled your opponent a maniac.

AJ has a bit more equity than AK because it's drawing quite live against some of the value range of my opponent (2pairs) and sometimes we can get called by pair + gs or fd or even by naked 8 out straights like KJ. It's more of a thin value shove than a protection shove against this type of player, as AJ has more equity than AK against villain's range. Of course we fold out complete garbage like 22, but we don't know if he's splashing with close to 0 equity hands or if he's just pushing too much equity. Anyway EV is going to be very close between call and jam with AJ no diamonds, you can do either play.
