- How much time (hours of effective learning) can take to an average IQ 30 years old person which start from zero knowledge in poker to achieve a 10 big blinds win rate per hour playing two tables at once at 50NL ?
I am not new in gambling (neither in online gambling), I know what means variance and bankroll management, but I have VERY LOW (next to zero) knowledge about poker. Currently I am a very bad losing fish. (I am only able to win at fun money, lol)
OK, my learning materials are these books: "The Poker Mindset: Essential Attitudes for Poker Success by Taylor and Hilger" , "Poker Math made easy" and "Texas Holdem Secrets" and "Tournament Tactics" all by Roy Rounder, "The Theory of Poker" and "Small Stakes Holdem" - both by Slanky , "No Limit Heads Up by Moshman" and "Expert Strategies for No Limit Tournaments - all 3 volumes by Harrington and Robertie", plus a couple of simple but good articles. Besides Texas Holdem stuff I have "Pot Limit omaha poker - The Big Play Strategy" and "Advanced Pot Limit Omaha - all 3 volumes" all by Jeff Hwang. I also have Turbo Table Scan, Poker Traker 3 and Equilab, plus a few other supposed helpful software. OK, now back to where we was, currently I am a bad losing fish with a "ton" of paper which adds up to 1500+ (A4 format) pages for Texas Holdem and about 700+ pages for Limit Omaha Poker.
Now, I need advices from experts:
1. - With what books and in what order to start learning ?
2. - When to jump in and play at the tables ? (I will start at 10NL)
3. - I should start with Heads Up games, SNG`s, or cash games ?
4. - 6 or 9 player tables ? (from what I have read, 9 ring are usually filled with regular experts, and it`s easier to win at a 6 ring)
5. - Limit or no Limit ?
PS: Is Omaha more easy to learn and more profitable ? (from what I have read in a few articles, Omaha has a much lower variance, and it would be a very good thing for a starter, but are there enough players to play it ?)
PS2: - If this fits better to "Learning Poker" CardsChat section, please some Moderator to move it there. I posted here because in this thread seems to be the most traffic and I really need as many inputs as possible on this matter. Many thanks in advance to everyone !
