HUDs are only as good/useful as the people using them. There are sites that employ anonymous tables or aren’t HUD compatible - Ignition and Global being the big two for US facing sites. Lastly, at typical lower online stakes (rare to see anything bigger than 10/20 run) no one is really doing this exploitively. ACR has tons of shitty bots and team play bc they allow European/Asian players who are notorious for cheating. But again a non issue for Ignition and Global - only North American players and not hud compatible/anonymous tables. Global is very soft and markets to fun, splashy home game atmospheres. Upswing Poker is the best training site for a systematic/building block approach to improving your game. Run It Once is best for higher level concepts/tougher games. Solve 4 Why isn’t bad either, aimed at live players, check out ‘Poker Out Loud’ on YT. Lots of good apps/tools if you want to get deep into the game, solvers like GTO+, PioSolver, GTOx. And then drillers like DTO Poker, GTO Wizard, and some others. All of this is completely unnecessary if you’re playing for fun at low stakes.
Lost a $1200 pot playing 1/2 NLH this past Friday. it was playing more like 2/5. $5 straddle on, I open on the sb to 25 with AhKs. 2 player called. flop Kh6h5d. i check, next to act checks, cutton makes it 50. I flat, utg open jams for 522, button folds I tank for a minute and end up calling. 5 on the turn, river was a blank. guy turned over 10h5h. still cashed out +300 cause I won 2 high hands with quads and a straight flush. Straight flush was up against a boat that I stacked for a whopping $80 /end rant
Played at the Bellagio for 3 straight nights last week while in Vegas and won between 200-400 each night. Tables break apart too much after midnight and I got tired of moving so I didn’t play for more than a couple hours. Still fun to play some decent cash games in casinos again.
going to Vegas in 2 weeks playing an $1100 at Venetian and a wsop daily, $600 at Aria or $1600 bounty at Venetian
WSOP is a much smoother run operation this year Vs last at the new venue. I went for the mystery bounty event, now the 6th largest WSOP tourney of all time (the gladiators just eclipsed it).
its right before the Main and theres nothing good running at WSOP except for a $1500 NLHe/PLO that I would be dead money in
