I was playing 100nl mainly. Played a bit of 50z in the final few weeks while I was deciding what to do. Tbh I don't really know about where you need to start using PIO etc. Honestly I don't believe that anybody at small stakes is playing anything close to optimal poker despite using PIO. The thing it has done has plugged a bunch of obvious leaks by making people realise that there are such things as a delay cbet, or a turn raise as a bluff. And even if they're doing it badly, these 1/3 pot cbets are harder to play against than previous strategies that people used. I think more important than using this software is working with people who know how to apply it vs real populations. This is where I struggled the most because I wasn't working with any coaches or in any Skype groups so I only had my own experience to go off rather than bouncing ideas off other people.

Look forward to seeing what you get up to cuz no doubt I'll be tapping out soon enough too GL!
p.s there's a new egotisical maniac at the tables who is spouting of some grade A autistic **** called AndreasB...
There's always a few of these ****s around. I guess you're always gonna get some 19 year olds going on 300k hand heaters who then feel the need to tell everyone else how awful they are.

Poker in 2018 is boooorrrrrinnnngggggg. No wonder recs are depositing less when you have stuff like scripting, people sitting out when they sit out, and no one making the games any fun. Regs gotta remember that the money comes from people who are wanting to play poker for fun, and if you don't give em that fun, they just won't come back. Also you gotta do something to entertain yourself while you're grinding, right?

You starting the sports therapy business? Whatever you do good luck man, sure you will do well.
Yep it's all up and running now. The main reason behind quitting poker is so I can concentrate on getting the business fully established and building a client base.

I have no doubt if you had hired the right coach or joined the right CFP you would be crushing small stakes and beyond. Always a fall back but I'm sure you won't need it
Thanks. I'm sure that if I'd joined something like that I would do fine, but tbh my heart's just not in it any more. Knowing I'm not in it for the long term any more just makes it too tough to be consistent with study.
