Poker in 2024 - reading material?
Hi all,
I stopped playing poker properly/regularly around 2013-15 and having played my first live game for a long time recently, I've started getting the itch again.
By way of background, I used to play micro (up to nl25), 6-max, and I was a winning player although admittedly nl25 started getting tough to beat. I used to multitable and ground out around 1,000 hands a day so I had some decent volume but nothing compared to others. As a result, I had a fairly good foundation but I've become so rusty since stopping.
As part of my re-introduction, I'll revisit some of the early material that I learnt from (Harrington on cash games II, for example) but I know poker has moved on quite a bit since 2013-15. Back in those days, people were talking about GTO but it wasn't anywhere near as prevelant today, especially with solvers in play.
Are there any books/threads that one would recommend to get back up to speed for 2024?
My focus will be on live poker, as I simply don't have the time with work commitments to grind online, but I still want to re-learn as if I'm an online grinder.
I have Applications of No-Limit Hold 'em By Matthew Janda on my bookshelf somewhere gathering dust, is this still relevant material?
Thanks!

Gtowizard have some great articles in his blog, you should check it out, IMO is the best written content nowadays.
Yeah that book is still relevant. Books by Ed Miller are still great even thought they're pretty old. They're on Amazon. U can read free articles from him on card player if u search for Ed miller on there. They're pretty good still for live poker. Also crushlivepoker is a great source for live poker vids
