I've been playing poker recreationally for years. I'd like to take the next step and start grinding semi-professionally, if only part time and in the micros. Love MTT NLH, but when it comes to cash I strongly prefer PLO.

I've read a few strategy books. I believe that I'm a +EV player in low stakes PLO on ACR. But I'd like to get better and reach new heights.

And here is where I'm lost. I know that the players that become truly great put in the hours of study, and I'm willing to do that. But how, and where? I've tried reading hand histories on forums like this one, but that seems limited... it is easy enough to understand strategies like building ranges, evaluating options on each street, etc.

What I'd really like to know is...

1. What is the best site for making those charts that people often post on here, tracking my hands/EV/etc?

2. Are there any HUDs that still work with ACR? If so, which would you recommend?

3. Where is the best place to start diving into advanced strategy? Do you have to pay for a training site, or are there free resources available? Solvers?

Any and all information will be extremely helpful, thank you in advance.

1) Not sure what you mean but I guess pokertracker/holdem manager

2) no idea

3) I mean no strategy is advanced in a sense that you tend to get 2 or 3 options and that's it. If you are willing to not be spoon fed you can do this on your own, I gave a few example in this thread; https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/3...018-a-1718531/

It's a pretty basic process of playing, reviewing, analyzing, adjusting and repeat that everyone with potential could do.

Holdem Manager works with cash games on ACR but not in the tournaments.

I also would recommend staying clear of ACR cash games if trying to make money as it is one of the tougher online cash games out there.

cliffs: we thought we knew a lot, but we didn't know ****.

Any decent strategy starts with default preflop ranges. I like these for beginners:

Here I wish I had a decent thread about postflop stuff.

Here I wish I had a decent thread about river stuff.

I'm gonna go digging into the search feature. Back in a bit.

Thanks for the input!

Yeah, Hold'em Manager seems like the way to go.

What would you recommend for a USA (not Vegas/NJ/etc) player if not ACR? Is Ignition good for PLO cash? Are there others?

Thanks! Will dive into these threads and look forward to your other resources.
