I find online coaching videos the best.

I found that the way that worked for me was to read about the basics (especially the math stuff), and afterwards look at videos, and participate in an online community. Analyzing hands from other players and writing down your thought process gives a great indication of your own level and can be enlightning ☺

Sounds strange, but when I watch pokerplayers, I'm predicting what they will do. The more you got it right, the more I do recognise a style by a person. This way, you know very easily when someone is bluffing and when not.

I like watching pros or other good players breaking down hands so I can teach how a lot of players think

The problem is that often high stakes players think and play at entirely different level which is not very suitable for low to middle stakes.

I personally think that after learning the basics you should play a lot, then check your hands (you use some tracking software, right!), talk with other players in online communities about the hands you find difficult or you are not sure that you get the most of .

I'm not only watching high stakes. When we're talking about low stakes I watched a lot guys like BlackRain79 , nanonoko or evthealien.

I like to watch pros play, but the way they play has nothing to do with the way I play. I think asking many questions for advice, and then slowly use that advice at the tables works better than anything for me. Don't get me wrong, because anything you can learn from is great. But experience at the tables is what every player has to have to become a better player. Then there is having a lot of patience. Do you ever fold AK when you have 2 all ins before you? Or fold small PPs UTG. I wonder sometimes how many hands I fold while playing cash or MTTs. I bet it's play 25% and fold 75%. I have really folded nearly every hand for the first hour of a MTT, and just catching enough hands to keep my starting stack. Then all of a sudden I start catching playable hands. That's just for me, and I win at it. GL to you

The main thing to learn to be stress-resistant. I think this is the most difficult. When you suddenly lose your AA on the river, you want to quickly recoup and start making mistakes.

Like with everything else in life PRACTIVE PRACTIVE and PRACTICE! Thats the best way to learn it. You can also watch poker pro's videos or read about tactics but in the end the best way to learn it is by playing it!
