Noob questions for online play
Greetings all. Im relatively new to online grinding so have a few questions if you wouldnt mind helping out.
- im in US so playing 5nl zoom on Ignition
- any tips on tracking stats - graphs, tracking bb/100, winrate, etc.
- solver usage & what solvers to use.
- any other tips you might think will be helpful. I appreciate it!

Ignition card catcher and Poker Tracker 4 or Holdem Manager 2 will work for tracking. If you’re set on a getting a solver then GTO+ might be good value considering your stakes. Pio is most popular and UI is nice, but its more expensive.
You aren't need solvers for nl5 or advance stuff, maybe play less zoom and more tableselect. Play solid and try to get out from micro,after think(and try) to invest much more time in studies (solver, videos, theory topics)
+1 to not needing a solver at 5NL. Watch videos and play a lot to work on your fundamentals.
Thx for all the info & advice! Appreciate it you guys :)
Watch RIO videos and pick up as much information as possible. I have played around with Pokersnowie and GTO+, but watching training videos has definitely helped my game more.
Get DriveHUD because it naturally supports Ignition and its cheaper than buying PT4/HM2 + card catcher. Well... you can also get PT4 they have their own free ignition hand grabber but it still have some issues.
If you have an account on Pokerstars play money is fine, you can get access to pokerschoolonline. Peter Clarke (essionatl Coach here at RIO) does a lot of work there as well, and streams on I believe Tuesdays and Saturdays on their Twitch channel.

Honestly, get the pack that includes the Hand Converter and also the Card Catcher from Ace Poker. The nice thing about Ignition is that you can manually download all hand histories after 24 hours and you will see everyone's hole cards but you will need to convert them with the Ignition Hand Converter. I use the catcher, and it allows a HUD on the standard speed tables but nothing for zone (aside from catching the cards for review). With the download after 24 hours, it makes player pool analysis so much easier since you see everyone's cards. What am I getting 3 bet with? What do they 4 bet with? What does this betting line mean?
One thing to note about downloading hands from ignition the next day is that the feature is hit or miss and tends to be broken a lot. Best bet is to get the card catcher and import as you play. Saves time and energy versus waiting to download files they probably wont download correctly. Plus you can review the hands as you play.
Is the hand grabber information still relevant today with the web-browser based Ignition software?
