Tools to improve your game

AnimalFarm

Hi all.
I understand it is against Sky's rules to use any type of software such as a hud or hold em manager etc. So, I therefore ask; Is there other tools you can recommend to enhance my mtt game, whilst complying with the rules?
I see that Simple poker (ST) lets you run simulations of certain spots to try and understand optimum play range vs range and sharkscope can be used as a tool to monitor which games are most profitable.
Is there anything outside of these? I know we could just manually track certain players tendencies and upload frequencies to a model, but that seems tedious.
I already make some notes and colour code players, but I feel it is inadequate. I do also appreciate that GTO may not be effective for low stake games....

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

Some form of ICM calculator. Raiseyouredge course is also good.

Watching Benc play might help

I was on your table for around an hour in the 5r the other night and for that hour you either raised, 3bet, 4bet or called off something like 90% of hands!

Not sure if you were playing like an absolute gangsta just because it was the rebuy period or whatever, but solid preflop ranges seems like a good place to start - plenty of resources out there.

Again, you may have just been messing around for fun but it made for a really entertaining table - great work!

In the days of Windows 95 there used to be an American simulation called Poker Genius.I used a friends copy for a few days until one of those nice Blue Screens took over the comp!

play however you like enjoy the game however you like but you asked about tools for improving so people noted how they believed rightly or wrongly steps you could take to improve your game.

Sky do not permit the use of real time tools, that been using tools during play. However there are plenty of resources for improving your game away from the tables.

training sites solvers, poker coaches books etc etc.

In fact with the right googling one could find the resources to learn how to at least become a small time profitable player without having to spend any money.
