In 2023 you have software available for nearly every conceivable poker spot and such a vast amount of high-quality free poker content to digest. In 2004 you had to do a LOT more digging, more manual math, and more group-work to get beyond the basic level of poker discourse being discussed. When I ask myself the question ‘would I rather enter poker in 2004 or in 2023?’ I find myself torn. There are hundreds of poker books available, and seemingly a never-ending list of random authors writing new ones every day. There are hundreds of poker programs you can use to train, learn, and tweak various parts of your game. There are a nearly infinite number of poker forums to join (heck, there are Discord channels and FB groups to talk poker in now). Now, the poker learning landscape is 100% different.

Back during the ‘Moneymaker Boom’ there were a couple of poker forums worth visiting, a few pieces of poker software, and a limited number of books that deserved a read. When I first entered poker back in 2004, the landscape was quite different than it is today.
