Back in the day when I started, it was in 1997 in Atlantic City. There was a card room at most of the casinos there and most of the games were 7 card stud. It was all cash games no tournaments. There was only one poker book out called Super System by Doyle. Nothing on the internet. They had maybe one or two tables with No limit hold em being dealt. About three years later limit hold em started taking over slowly taking over all the stud games. Then no limit tables started to be much more popular than the limit during early 2000s.

Back then you learned by buying in and playing. We had to play mostly just with your wits. There were lots and lots of bad players back then.

Now there is information everywhere. You can be better prepared now if you are a beginner then you could back then.  You have all the odds and poker math all figured out for you now to memorize and make it easy to learn but back then you had to do this on your own if you wanted to get better.

Players are definitely better now because of technology but there are still lots of bad players. There is no reason why you can’t improve your game now, it just takes study away from the game when you are not playing.
