Years with on/off poker,still losing player.

[Spondzile]

Hello,
I have been playing poker on/off for 10 years and still can't beat it. Little bit my poker story... I play in PS, I do have PT 4 (never really haven't analysed my game,just using HUD) I can well recognize fishy vs regular players.
Also I table select and I try to beat 6max cash games. I know poker termins,betting sizes,starting hands and position aware.
I don't know nothing about pot odds,implied odds and so on.
I think my main enemy is lack of consistency and discipline.
So I feel that I need total format about my poker acknowledge and start somehow to learn again properly from the basic stuff.
My main problem is that I can't understand witch strategy is up to date,what read what not, ex some say Sklansky,Harrington so on books are not up to date, ofc I realize 2006 games are not the same as nowadays, otherwise I think micro/low limits should be mostly straightforward value bet with nuts otherwise fold and no fancy play whatsoever.
My main goal to poker is beat low/micro stakes one day and get paid as hobby.
As father of 2 years old,tournament poker is no go for me :/

Sorry for long post I hope some of you had same feeling and understand my problem.Also any recommendations about learning chronological is very welcomed.
Thank you and GL on the tables

Your biggest leak is what you said yourself “I don’t know nothing about pot odds…”
You should know basic poker math. When you do get down and get into it (all of it is easy) this will in itself put you on a higher level than where you were before. In this site is a free 30 day course and some of the lessons teach everything you will need about poker math.

What are your core stats, preflop, flop, turn, river?
Would be good to know to give at least some advice because the things you mentioned are not helpful to help you other than -> study more!
Tbh. potodds and implied odds are overrated at the micros because players don´t use them for their bettings often enough. Unless they bet very low or very high there is no real value you can extract from their betsizes.

Generally tend to agree, they are not the most vital for Micros, you def don't need to be working things out continuously. However, to improving your game will be very difficult without at least a basic understanding, and some acceptance that you should come back to it, and at least attempt to learn some basics such as number of outs and what percentages these will generally create.
Again I would have to recommend the CC 30 day course. Don't just read it and watch the videos. Take some time to think through each secton, however basic it seems. There is always something to learn. Plus, keep coming back to the areas you are less sure of, and go over them again.

Yeah I gonna take CC30 atm I read a book called "Mental game of poker" by Jared Tendler.I personally think I need to improve a lot about my mental play, discipline and so on.
One big leak I notice from my mental side is that I dont take nl2 cash game seriously, but also I know that It's not level where you make some money.It's like 1st grade of poker.

My main problem is that I can't understand witch strategy is up to date

Sometimes i feel the same - like when using police, military strategy and so on ...

When all else fails, start all over again, how about starting the 30-day Cardschat course
