Things like "playing the player", "table selecting" or "thinking every decision" are good and i know it first hand how important they are but they exhaust me, i know for sure i will never make a leap that way, im running out of energy fast and if i play a bit more then i tilt so i have to stop. I want to try another way. I rather take a shot to be a something more with a worse winrate rather than staying a hobbyist with an awesome winrate and insignificant volume. I can play x15 the amount of hands, if i remove all of these things from my game. Hell, i don't even want to ever open a hud again either. I just want to open pokerstars and spam the same lines again and again without regretting any big fold or stack off.

Think about it as a proffesional, you are using tons of mental energy and endurance to sustain your productivity, you trade those for money, are the money you make from them really worth it? well in the micro stakes are certainly not worth it, you can conserve 100% of your mental energy and endurance by simply spaming the same lines and this will also prevent tilt in most cases. Poker becomes exhaustion-free and almost tilt-free, if you can just spam and playing like a robot and thats huge boost for someone, because it maximize the chance for someone to go higher and his productivity, so its worth it to find a game where its possible to achieve this.

My experience with poker tells me that those who succeed at becoming proffesionals are not the ones who are technically sound but those who have incredible will power and mental energy, those who can work very hard. We trade some winrate for the ability to become like them, i believe it worth it.

Tell me what you think.

So you basically want to become one of those rakeback pros playing 20 tables not thinking for yourself and doing what the HUD tells you to

The HUD is what is draining your mental energy. Just play without it for a while, don’t change anything about how you play. See what happens, give it at least 20k hands.

You have an awesome winrate?

Geez, become a drone and turn into a fish sounds like good good strat. Let us know how that goes for you.

In poker you need both. Becoming a mindless drone will not get you the skills to move up and win at decent stakes.

Your question doesn't really make sense, are we talking MTTs or cash? Also what sort of income do you want to make? If you want to mega nit it up at 10NL and play for 4+ hours daily you can probably make $500+ a month, but beyond that you're not going to "auto pilot" your way through higher stake games.

Autobot is not a hobby, but that said the lowest possible skill games with money involved are probably those 1 cent 999 man tournaments they use to have on Star, I can't play there anymore, but look for that.

Is omaha more automatic than nlhe? or is there room for a lot exploitation on that game?

There is no easy money unless you get good. Automation comes with repetition of solid max EV lines.

Sng:s are probably the most braindead form of poker. The escalating blinds leave little room for manuver and you reach the bubble much faster than in mtts.

Personally I also find 7 stud pretty brain dead at the micro levels. You don't have to keep track of the cards to show a profit. The pots are usually big enogh that you don't make much of a mistake by always calling on 7th street if you are not obviously beaten

Fixed limit games will have more automatic decisions than big bet games. Stud has a lot of automatic plays, but it may take more time to learn what those plays are than in hold em.

Speaking as a live, rather than online, player, I have found that PLO has easier decisions than NLHE because you usually know where you stand.
