Relearning Poker After a Long Break

I was a decent poker player back in the early 2010s but life got in the way — 5 kids, a business, and I pretty much missed the GTO train. I still play occasionally but I’m trending from slightly winning / break-even to clear fish territory.

We’re about to head off on a year-long caravan trip with the family. I’m an early riser and will have 2 hours each morning to focus on re-learning poker.

Context:

Prefer live cash (2/3 – 5/10) but will mostly be playing 0.25–0.50 online

Enjoy tournaments more than cash, but multi-day events aren't realistic right now

Plan is to get solid at online cash before touching tournaments again

What I’m looking for:

Structured learning (not just “here’s 3,000 random videos”)

Something to rebuild fundamentals and get me back to being a competent player

Ideally with guidance on how to study, not just what to study

Considering:

Run It Once “From the Ground Up” and “The Game Plan” (keen to hear from people who’ve used them)

GTO Wizard – also open to course recommendations that teach how to use it effectively

Udemy’s “Crush Micro Stakes Online Poker” – is this a decent way to break even at micros again?

Any other course/platform suggestions are appreciated. Looking to make the most of the time I’ve got.

Probably the best person to learn from atm to get back on your feet is Victor from 2 Card Confidence.
