How do you study poker?

[ammje]

Hello friends, I know there are many ways to study poker, how do you do it?

I don't even use a program to play like PT4 or holdem manager, that's why I can't see my game history, for now I'm studying with free zerospoker videos, I also like to watch tournament reviews, I think it has improved my game.

I study like many of us. I like to say I study - meaning I wish I would actually study, but in reality I only think about it more than I do it
This is the PPL style - Poker Procrastination Learning.

I started learning on another website offering poker courses with basic knowledge. NL SSS small stack strategy,NL BSS big stack strategy,
that are the basic assumptions of the strategy, how to choose starting hands, how to use aggression, the math of ods, pot-ods. Characteristics of opponents. tight/loose passive/aggressive

Now that I have learned the basics, after each poker session I analyze the hands in which I lost the most and wonder if I would play the same way again.

I think your method is not bad, you learn a lot if you look at how professionals play. Add to that the variation of the players, the theory and, obviously, the hours of play. Tips to make this work:
1) try to apply what you have learned without fear of losing, if you think that risking everything in one hand is the right thing to do it even if it costs you the tournament. (obviously assessing the importance of the tournament)
2) don't just study poker, another important part is studying how to manage your bankroll
3) every important hand, check it again and see if you really think you played well. If so, simply stay calm about your work and don't let yourself be frustrated by the anger of a rough patch.
Good luck with the whole process, in the long run it's just a matter of trying hard

This is basically a practice, I play a lot in tournaments, and also watch relevant videos, streamers, now is the era of the Internet and finding information is not a problem, the main desire is free time

To train yourself, you have several options:

1-watch videos on the internet
2- read books about poker
3- make contact with more experienced players
4-participate in local tournaments in your city or region
5-practicing discipline in casinos or on online sites

Poker does not require specific skills other than a good knowledge of mathematics, particularly in statistical analysis. Indeed, this game is not just a question of luck: understanding probabilities and strategies, your experience and the psychological knowledge of your opponents will help you refine your strategy and win.

Becoming a professional poker player requires a lot of practice, but also essential qualities such as:

1-patience: a poker game lasts several hours .
2-endurance: you will sometimes need to be able to play several games together or play at staggered times .
3- composure: you will need to know how to manage your emotions during a bad game and keep an imperturbable mind .
I hope I have enlightened you in your search, good luck, best regards .

I don't study per se anymore. I just observe my opponents and act to exploit them. I learn by playing.

I do the same. I read and reread a new book a week (I have a nice size library in my home of all kinds of books, we used town a used book store) and I watch about 1 hr of U Tube poker tutorials after supper every day. Oh, and I play EVERY day and try to incorporate what I've learned into my game, not always effective in freerolls and micro games.

I only have access to my phone, so I'm a little limited, but now there are so many good videos on YouTube that I do.

I have to learn poker by playing at the table. I don't have time to study properly. Besides, I have no intention of getting seriously involved in poker in the future.

 

[Dimidrol2]

I study poker only by playing it. Situation analysis and common sense help me win a little every month. Free time is the most important resource.

 

[Risto234]

Probably doing it the most effective way ever - i dont.

This would explain certain things like NOT finishing 30 day course and so on ...

 

[AndyFio]

My dad taught me to play, then I gradually improved my skills myself, watched videos on YouTube, and played with friends.

 

[Saul2025]

Experience, online courses, live games reviews from great poker players (like Daniel Negreanu), hands analysis, books.

Watching free content of YouTube or twitch. Also reading posts of professional players like bencb or similar who posted main topics of skills that you have to master if you want to improve your game and your strategy at the low stakes.

This seems to me a wise answer for your question too.

I think everyone has a different way of learning poker, but many people have the same way of watching tournaments learning online chatting with strong players who play above you, limits are also very helpful. The poker school, which also helps you move forward in the coach's game, is the best for training a personal student, but I also learn to communicate with players above the limits

I read some classic and modern poker books, watched some poker tournaments and play poker to practice what I've learned. I have some Apps on my phone too which helped me improve my poker knowledge.

I think the best way to learn is through actual combat. Books and videos can be helpful sometimes...
