It's my 10 year anniversary on this forum, and then I was thinking, well this is a long time, so what has changed for you in poker during the last decade?
Geez, what has NOT changed. 10 years ago was almost 2 years post-Black Friday when the poker world imploded. But, since then it has risen back up and brought along new ways of thinking about poker. There have always been some mixed strategies out there but now it seems like poker is divided between the GTO and exploitative camps. Neither of which were really a thing 10 years ago. Today we have HUDs, trainers, solvers and other computer aids to replace the self-typed notes that people took on other players. 10 years ago I am pretty sure that the
wsop Main Event was the biggest buyin of the year and now, while it still is the most prestigious event, there are dozens of high roller events.
What has changed for me personally? Not much. I spend a lot more time studying and discussing strategy than I did 10 years ago. It has been longer than that since I played poker as my main source of income (that was when Full Tilt and the others were in their heyday). I don't play as much as I would like to but that comes from other responsibilities and commitments, but I do still play to have fun.
