Poker strategy is based on large sample sizes - you're not trying to figure out the optimal strategy for a single hand, you're trying to figure out an overall strategy for groups of hands against groups of boards.
Winning strategy for limit poker is essentially making sure you're game theory optimal, so that there isn't a strategy someone can apply against you that will in the long run be profitable. You can't apply a simple greedy algorithm hand per hand, you need to be aware of the ranges of hands you could have and what strategies your opponent could be applying against those hands.
That is the not losing part, the winning more part is figuring out where your opponents arent playing GTO and figuring out if you can afford making your strategy exploitable to in turn exploit your opponents (because if you try to be always GTO you may not beat rake etc).
Looking at poker hand by hand is like looking at chess move by move.
Players can try to be GTO, but limit is not solved, so they are simply guessing. This post (and many others across the web) seem to assume that we know GTO or that we can reason it, but twe cant as this isnt a solved game yet
