Good night people! I want to dedicate myself a little more to poker and I would like to know from you what is more worthwhile: paying for a poker course or investing my time being self-taught and go on applying what I learn. I know that in both choices I will have to dedicate my time, but I wanted to know your experience and what was best for each one. Thanks and hugs!
Thank U 4 posting
It is always best to get coaching right away so that you can have someone see your mistakes and be able to put you on a winning path from the beginning.
Just buying a poker course does not do that for you though. You need someone to look at your play and see what YOU are doing wrong. However that is very expensive.
Most of the coaches today had good players helping them when they started by watching them play and correcting their poker lines. So if you can find a player better than you to watch as you play or record yourself playing and share the video than you can speed up the learning process.
Of course sharing hand reviews here on cardschat and going through the hand reviews of others is also a great way to learn the +ev way to play and it is faster than making errors then fixing those errors.
Jonathan Little has free youtube videos where he looks at his students play and discusses both correct play and errors. I would suggest you start looking at player review type videos
Lastly learning about how to build hand ranges before you grind will help you have rapid growth. it takes many hours of research and learning and again there are many free videos on range building. Being a good player before you grind is the faster route to success than the learn as you go model.
Hope this helps
