Flush
So I'm crushing our 6 max home game, I have ever since I started hosting it. There's a couple loose aggressive players in my game that used to give me trouble, but as I've figured them out they're slowly turning to fish. This isn't a problem for them as we're all more than financially able to handle the stakes, and no one cares that I win a lot of the time because I'm always the one buying chips, tables, cards and generally organizing it all. And at 25/25c or 25/50c the wins/losses aren't high either. No one (including me) wants to increase stakes as it's a friendly game, and we like to keep it friendly fun competition only.
That said, I'm not really progressing my game, and if I were to join a game with any of you, I'd get destroyed most likely. Because I'm just playing the people, not the ranges, not GTO etc. The players are so weak in the game that if someone 3 bets pre-flop there's surprise around the table. Any hand with a face card is a solid hand to these guys, which does pose a challenge on its own I'll admit, good luck finding ranges.
So my question is this, not how do I make this game more challenging, I like crushing it for the most part, and I do actually put all the money from poker into a fund for MOAR poker (2019 winnings paid for the leather rail and some other upgrades on my chanman ). But I'm more interested in how to progress my game? I have no casinos nearby, and only one crap underground "poker room" that I'll never step foot in again.
Any books/videos/training you'd recommend? And if it does help my game, is today's game so much different that it actually becomes more challenging to exploit amateurs who don't know what a pre-flop range is?
