where to start !!!

Hi Newbie here joined a few months ago then had to head to Africa for work and no internet or hardly anything that we have in the real world .
Have played poker for a few years just for recreational purposes but now retired and want to put more time into it. So where to start.

All assistance appreciated.

There's no secret really. Just try to spend your time wisely when trying to get better. Watch videos, discuss, think about poker etc.

I recommend picking up Janda's book Applications of No Limit Hold'em and work through it thoroughly, that'll give you a good starting point and it's just a matter of working really really hard from there.

Nobody knows how strong Snowie is but there's speculation as to whether it's any good. The company originally marketed Snowie as 'GTO' but later withdrew the claim, probably because it's not as strong as they like you to think. Finding out how close to optimal it is would be relatively easy, be for some reason they have chosen not to disclose this information.

If Snowie is any good then there's two problems with it:

1 - It uses complicated mixed strategies which is impossible for a human to memorise.
2 - It can't tell you why it's doing something so we can only speculate.

appreciate jedimindtricks , even more confusing this game of poker lol will take advice already given and try to get more games in, play most of my poker live at the local casino, what would you recommend ( game wise) i play online (presently on pokerstars and sky poker but not playing anything serious.

My advice is to play the game that you enjoy the most.
Sky is supersoft but rake is super high at 10nl and below, still crushable imo. There's no HUD's allowed on sky which has both it's advantages and disadvantages.
There's a bigger variety of games on PS's.
Good luck!
