How much time do you guys devote to studying poker on a weekly basis assuming you know basics?
I INVEST about 50-75% of my time studying (books, or watching hand histories, reviewing other's play, going thru software)
and I spend the rest of my time playing. Some weeks it's 25% some it's 50%
I find this allows me to play my best everytime and feel extremely confident when I sit down at the table.
Now... this isn't for everyone. Some people play to print their hourly rate, so more play hours makes sense.
I play because i love to compete and i love the win, and the more time I spend studying and refining my game the more often I get to win when I sit down to play
