The GTO doesn't "know" his opponent's range, only its own ranges. Why wouldn't it be possible than
A - we're playing a spot where GTO is having nuts a very high % of the time
B - our opponent is using a strategy where when he does bet, he mostly does that with the nut blocker
Of course in practice when GTO has the nuts, Nemesis will just check a lot do to card removal. And when GTO is "capped" due to Nemesis having the nut blocker, he'll just fold a lot.
That's the point of my question, how are we supposed to deal with card removal effect in situation like this where ranges are very tight.

I'm having a hard time understanding what GTO should defend here.
Let's say we are on the river with a possible flush, GTO is oop and checks a range like :
- 50% nutflush
- 25% 2nd nutflush
- 25% low flush
Nemesis is betting in position with :
- 60% nutflush blocker
- 40% nutflush
Let's say that Nemesis POTs this river. GTO is supposed to defend only 50% of his range, so basically only his nutflushes. Since GTO is never calling worse when Nemesis vbet his nutflush, this sizing seems to be bad in this situation but my concern is : if Nemesis bets POT only with the blocker (basically always bluffing), GTO is never calling and Nemesis can happily overbluffs.
How does GTO defend itself against that kind of strategy ?
Any thought is welcome
Thanks for your answers. My mistake was that I always thought that facing a PSB, you have to defend exactly 50% of your range. I never thought that in certain spots GTO would force non blocker bluffs being ev- but that makes a lot of sense.
