I am starting to learn poker now. How many hours pro day you guys thing I should study to win low prizes? And what is the best way to learn poker?
Firstly, you cannot win at poker by studying, you have to play poker as well.
Secondly, it depends how much spare time you have and how seriously you want to take poker.
If you have a full time job, a partner, kids, other hobbies and a busy social life you may only be able to put in an hour or two a week.
If you don't work and have no dependents or anything that requires a significant amount of your time, you can treat it like a full time job and spend 40/50/60 hours a week on poker.
Both options and everything in between is fine.
I would then divide my time roughly in half with studying and playing. Note; I don't consider watching a 17 hour Twitch stream as studying. Very few streamers offer much insight into their thought process, especially when they're in a hand.
YouTube has some great content, Doug Polk, Jonathan Little, Evan Jarvis to name just a few. Do some research, find some videos on basic concepts (highly recommend Evan Jarvis' triple threat videos) to start with. This talks about Position, aggression and hand selection in 3 separate videos (each about an hour long, if I recall correctly) and goes into each of these subject at length, which should give you a solid foundation to build on. Watch them, pause them, take notes on them.
There is absolutely no value in watching a Doug Polk hand analysis from some super high roller cash game where he talks about some seriously deep level thinking, if you don't know what the button is or what he means by check/shove the turn.
Good luck with your game and let us know how you get on.
