Sure u'll gonna win a lot more by studying, because there are a lot of concepts in poker that are anti intuitive, so by studying u learn how to do the more profitable plays that will be profitable in the long run.
Always focus on the long run with u wanna be a winner, don't be attached to results, only in the process.

No, not in some variations..
Holdem, studying can help a lot. With Omaha, luck rules. In one session you see two four of a kind, for example. All you can do is shake your head, and go back to the hold 'em tables, where variance isn't as dominant.

Undoubtedly studying will make you win much more. Practice is very important, as you mentioned, and also realizing how your opponents play is also a form of study, only in real time, which will make you have less use.
When you complement the practice, the observation, and in the post game you study, you will optimize your results even more.

When you decide to start some activity, work, sport or game, if you don't study and mainly put into practice what you learned, you will hardly become a professional. In poker it is no different, if you want to reach a professional level, you will have to study, in order to improve your game. But if you play for fun like me, then you don't need to delve too deep into your studies, the basics will do. Good luck to everyone at the tables.

If it is the best and most probable that you obtain enough information by studying the game and thus you can have more advantage than the others, the position of the table, bet or not, see the probabilities that you have in hand, position yourself as an aggressive or passive player , but well that's poker and one of the most important things about the game is experience, you can have all the knowledge of the game but if you don't apply it in real life nothing will help you to know everything about poker

One of my many books on Poker is "The Mammoth book of poker" which dedicates whole chapters on the different formats of the game, from Holdem, Omaha, Razz, Stud and many many more, it is the best investment I ever made.
Books by professional Players like Brunson, Helmut, and Greenstein are pretty good but generally only give an overview of the game from their perspective and most of the time is spent on their Poker history and how they approach different hands.
But overall the best lessons I learned was from Cardschat "How to be a Winning player in 30 days" When I first started the course I thought that I knew everything that came up, but! there is nothing wrong in revisiting the course and going over it time and again, after all isn't that what students do when preparing for an exam. Study, Study and more Study.
Poker evolves over time and changes with every game that's played the only way to keep up with the changes is to play and learn from your mistakes, through hand analysis and study. Just like driving a car is nothing like driving 30 years ago, the highway code changes and new road signs come out, so you have to study over and over again to keep up with the new rules of the road.
Experience is the best method of learning anything, after all you can read all the books in the World on Brain Surgery, but until you get someone under your knife, you cannot call yourself a Brain Surgeon.
When the fun Stops, STOP!

Just studying, no, but when you seek to apply what you learn by studying in practice, it does make a big difference in your development in any area and of course in poker it couldn't be different. The more information you can assimilate from different points of view and adapt to your game, the more tools you'll have to put into practice when opportunities arise.

I improved my game by watching YouTube videos only, where poker professionals review their students' tournaments. As I don't intend to become a professional, I think just watching these videos helps me a lot. Good luck to everyone at the tables.
