Owen Shiels provides a gentle onboarding to exploitative play first defining the topic before diving into how we go about deviating and when it's appropriate to do so.

very useful tips in low stakes MTT:s indeed. You could make another video and go more deep into these exploits. Nice content as always. thank you!

If a player has multiple exploits across different streets, do you think it's wise to figure out which exploit is the greatest, and try to attack that one primarily? For example, if somebody folds too often to 3 bets but also plays very weak postflop. Sure, we can 3 bet preflop to pick up a small pot. But is there an argument to calling more preflop to see a flop, and exploiting their bigger leaks on later streets for more money.

Another way of saying this idea : Preflop mistakes translate into small EV exploits for us. But turn and river exploits can translate into much higher EV for us?
I play mainly live poker. It seems much better for me to see a flop with weak players, and getting into a turn or river situation where they hopelessly put in their stack with a weak top pair when I have the nuts.

This is similar to the idea of - if a reg opens too wide, sure we can 3 bet to punish them for a small edge preflop, but we could also just smooth call and allow the whale in the BB to come along also.

Sure. Finding the biggest leak and exploiting that is great but also be aware that 3 betting the fish at the table is a great way to get HU with them. Just calling gives the players a great price behind you. So if you are targeting one player often 3 betting them with marginal stuff like ATo, T9s can be better so that you get HU with them. People tend to play worse in HU pots and more straight forward in multiway pots.
