Who is the best at studing poker?!.. :).

I mean, on the net, on PSGY.. many videos, many strategies, big hand discussion forum exist == big amout of information. So, what is the best way for studying? really.. Of course, depands on the limit. Ok, so say for people who +- NL10.
What is your strategy of learning?.. ok something like 1:1 or 3/5 (studing : playing).. but what do you study? Analyze your spots over and over in equilab, looking at coach's live play and write the new spots for you down and try to understand the concepts and memorise them, ... What do you recomend?

It is important, everybody has just 24 hours per day!!

Hi Willy411,

In the beginning, it is essential to play the game. Many mistakes you make will stop if you do them over and over again and realize what your problem is. Regarding studying, I would say that if you want to play, you should play and if you want to study you should study. Do not force yourself to do activities you do not enjoy.

I can only speak for myself, but sometimes I had to do hand reviews. And on other occasions, I can spend 10+mins on figuring out a single hand or maybe calculate some crazy things just to get a small edge in my game. It all depends on motivation.

Watching videos helps a lot, but you have to be able to transfer your theoretical knowledge into your game. If you fail to do that you will not improve, and you can watch as many videos you like, but it won't help your game.

Last but not least sharing your story might help yourself. Start a blog on your own or here on PokerStrategy in the blog forum. If I have to tell someone about my success, I am motivated to do better. I am willing to improve.

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask more specific questions if you'd like.
