Viewing streams as one of the elements of study!
I believe that it has a relatively low efficiency. Do you use the stream to improve your game?

Yeah, the streams are very usefull and for sure could improve your game, but you have to also wanting to improve your skills. I think the streams are very helpful in any game. You learn things by watching other player decisions and listen to his talks and explains.
To be honest, I didnt watch streams before, ive started from about a month. From my personal experience, i can say that its good when you have some free time and doesnt have something to watch, go on some stream site and watch.

I'd put it towards the bottom of your study list, especially if you're a newer player. Plus there's a lot of bad streamers. I'd stick to known video content, and software to help you improve. Streams should be seen more as entertainment I guess, if you want to call it that.

the main thing to improve juegod and a person is pasiencia , analyze hands to determine which hands go because it's not like in the manuals or books about poker this end etermining that strong , disposable and bad hands if you know how to analyze the behavior of the other players a bad hand can be very profitable as long as if you play it cautiously

Oh yeah, this is so true. There's one streamer (who I won't name) who plays the same stakes on the same site I do. And, it's a small site, so I see him fairly often. I watch his stream just to see the holes in his game. I think most people wouldn't think he's super-bad, but there are some serious exploitable tendencies that he has. If anyone was watching him to copy and learn, it would set them back in a lot of areas (very passive nit tendencies).

Exactly. I had a lot of people tell me I should stream. I don't have the time to do it honestly, but most importantly, why would I want to tell people exactly how I'm playing and feeling that day when they can sit down on my same table within 5 minutes. I'm not playing super high stakes anymore, so it just doesn't seem to make sense to do, and not sure why people do it unless you are full on trying to promote a whole brand like somersville.
