Room for a little one?
Hi all, long story short I got into NLHE when it exploded several years ago. I got books, subscribed to magazines, followed BRM and posted on a forum whilst I plugged away for a good few years. Yet despite that I was still a fish and so I walked away 5 years ago.
However I am back - new start, new forum and hopefully new results! I would really appreciate advice and hand analysis. Maybe even in time watching over me during a session?
As I've been away I'd appreciate being brought up to speed on the state of the game, in particular:
- When I walked away NLHE was seen to be a solved game, everyone had trackers and knew the EV plays to make and so people were shifting to Omaha and other forms of poker. Even Moorman was saying the edge is wafer thin as to be not profitable anymore. Is this still the case? Am I wasting my time?
- I take it HUDs and trackers are still mandatory? Last time it was PT2 and HEM, are they stll the standard?
- I'm unsure about format. I appreciate cash makes a better player and the deep, refillable stacks means tilt is less of an issue but I love the thrill of MTTs and SNGs (plus the payout). However tilt a problem because I was focussed on my sharkscope stats and wanted to be taken seriously. Add to this the rising blinds eventually turned games into formulaic fold or shove. What do you suggest? Does being a cash player and treating myself to MTTs at the weekend sound like a good idea?
- Has low stakes strategy evolved or is it still TAG, play in position and chuck small pairs if re-raised?
- I played on Stars - is this a no-go zone now for fish like me?
Anymore info you think I need to know after my hiatus would be much appreciated.
