8 years away from poker, nothing's changed? 8 years away from poker, nothing's changed?

Hi guys,

When I was in college I used to play a whole lot of poker. Started with a $10 deposit and grinded my way up to about a $20,000 bankroll at my highpoint. I played only 100NL - 400NL and heads-up SNG's from $50,- to $600. Max 6 tables at a time. Played some live in casino's in Europe, never with any succes.
I used to frequent a poker forum that has been closed and read quite a lot of books and articles back in the day.
After a losing streak that set me back a bit around 2013 I just had enough, cashed out all my money and paid all of my college dues with it. Never watched/followed or played any poker since.

Right now I have a steady income stream from my job and am looking to get back into poker. I've deposited some money on Pokerstars (after finding out FullTilt doesn't exist anymore) and started playing 2 tables of ZOOM 10NL. Winning a little bit, but still showing my good old decreasing red line and steady positive blue line.
I'm very rusty and am eager to read up on stuff I've missed over the years.

A couple of questions I hope you guys can help me with:
- What has changed in internet poker over the last couple of years?
- What are must reads/must watchs for poker players?
- What sites are best to play on?
- Is there any new poker software that is great after HM2?
- Is there any fish left in the tank?
- Any tips to improve on my non-showdown winnings? I C-bet a little too much (85.41) of the flop and not enough on the turn (30.30) but am looking to improve this.

Hope you guys could help me on my way a little bit. I intend to read and post in a lot of the hand reviews, as I have learned this was allways the best way to improve.

Kind regards,
Gustav
