The optimal strategy is to implement the optimal counter-strategy to your opponent´s strategy. If he is tighter than what is normal, you should call his raises tighter too.

SAGE is close to unexploitable, but only optimal when your opponent plays by it too. If your opponent strays from SAGE, so should you.

SAGE is like a set of training wheels. Training wheels will make you spin around the neighbourhood while your non-training wheels peers can barely move 3 feet before falling. But soon your peers will master the art of balance and can go faster and turn quicker than you on your silly "four-wheeler".

Lose the training wheels and ignore SAGE. Aim for being able to play optimally instead and use tools like SNGwiz or Pokerstove to analyze these situations.
