Doesn't matter if you've only ever played a few hands or if you're a serious player--if you like poker and want to join the conversation, come on in. You'll really like it here.
Technical strategy discussion, the mental game, live and online venues--where will the conversation take us? Pretty much anywhere we want; we'll see what unfolds.
I'm an online MTT grinder and I play everything from $10 events to whatever the biggest events are being offered. Maybe :D will stop by and share some live low stakes wisdom.

love the dynamism (increasing blinds, inflection points in strategy based on stack sizes and ICM, all sorts of other moving parts). Cash is stagnant and online cash sucks.
If I'm ever going to get rich (I only care about winning so I can just keep playing more and more poker) it'll be through scooping a huge MTT so I like them by necessity. I play for live ammo training if anything else

This and it's really important to highlight COLLUDING.
Bots on their own still aren't that great, it's when some Russian has multiple sharing their hole card info that they become unstoppable.
But like you say this is really limited on CASH PLO.

Welcome friend!
I had some serious confidence issues and other IRL distractions that ebbed and flowed over the last ~3 years. Thankfully they're all in the past for me.
My volume in online MTTs has been lacking for my taste (I only have about 600 games which is tiny for online MTTs, the sickest sickos can play easy 450 games in one month)
But my results are OK. I have 5 wins and I think 5 more FTs but return-on-investment-wise could do better, only eeking out like a 10% ROI over that timeframe which I can live with considering I just recently started really taking my studying and preparation to the next level. Also pretty good considering I royally fucked up the last several FTs I got to.
So I'm like a cunt hair away from having a crusher's RIO in MTTs. Slowly but surely getting there. I can't believe how much my game has improved within the last year, and especially the last 6 months.

By the time you get down to ~15bb you can start entering push-fold mode. At that point you may still find some spots are more +EV by coming in for a normal open but with <=15bb you also can't really go wrong just shoving an appropriate range from whatever position you're in
This is a good start to worn on you push-fold game:

A little more info:
Depends on how seriously you take the game, and what your skill level is (and being honest to yourself about it)
2+2 forums get shit on but they're actually a great resource. Discussion and debate are ALWAYS productive in this game
Modern poker theory has drifted towards a Game Theory Optimal approach. If you're a seriously player then one splurge you really should consider is PioSolver, which is a really fast GTO solver. It's by no means required but really nice to have if you ant to elevate your game. And if you're not familiar with GTO, you should definitely read up on it.
Of course books, articles, etc. Maybe training sites if that's your thing (it's not mine but everyone is different)
And finally of course, it's my hope this thread can provide some help in the form of poasters posting hands or questions or whatever. Would love to have consistent poker discussion with the XO crew.

Yeah it's amazing how much tractability is adds to such problems as "what's the best betsize here" or "what are my best bluffs" or a million other things.
Without getting too much into the weeds, the idea behind GTO is unexploitability, which means villain's can't effectively change their strategies to counter ours. We play our range so that we maintain the correct balance of value and bluffs and villain's can do no better than be indifferent to how to proceed.
When in doubt, you can never go wrong trying to play a GTO strategy. Note that playing GTO doesn't imply max EV. In reality, no one can play perfect GTO because the game trees can be hundreds of thousands of nodes in size and no one can compute them in real time. So where people deviate from GTO you can exploit them in order to increase your EV (which inm turn makes you exploitable--if villain's can figure out how to do it.)
So the modern day strategy is like a GTO foundation with an exploitative overlay.

No, in fact you'll probably hamper yourself in LLSNL using a GTO strategy. Players are so bad it's all about max exploitation, you don't worry about how that opens you up to being exploited because they generally won't figure out how to do that.
GTO is essential for competitive online MTT play tho

sick ROI.
i basically never played online. randomly one night while it was still "legal" i downloaded Pokerstars and played a tournament, finished a couple jumps above a min cash. whoopee.
on a whim i decided to search to see if a kid in the college poker crew was playing (he was much more serious, and i had heard that he was doing well). just by pure luck, i happened to go on at the right time to watch him chop a big tournament.

Rahm wants to legalize weed and open a casino in Chicago to pay off all the debt the city has.
A Chicago poker room would be amazing.
