I think the best way is to watch videos from good Poker Coaches ...and then to do it by yourself

Train with good players here, bring the understanding of the situation to the level of reflexes.

I believe that the best way to learn, if you know absolutely nothing, is by playing, trial and error

It is super embarassing to see a newbie with a coach. I would youtube first and then once you have a grasp of concepts, go to a coach and they will make you feel like a total newbie again.

In my opinion the fastest way to learn how to play poker is to play. Watching people play or watching videos or reading is good but I think that the fastest way is to dive right in and shuffle up and deal!

I believe there is no way to learn fast, but the longer you play, study and put into practice what you studied, the faster you will learn

2. review hands after you play
3. study icm
4. hire a coach

To quote RATT, "what you give, is what you get". You will get out - what you put into your studying.

So if you don't have time, maybe consider playing less and studying more. Think about how much pro athletes practice vs the actual amount of time they compete.

I don’t know much about poker and learning methods, I’m just getting to know them.
For me, the traditional learning method is the most appropriate.
I tried watching video lessons on youtube, honestly not much was utilized from it.
The fastest whole is definitely Through the coach you can develop in my opinion, unfortunately, i haven't tried that yet :D

Depends on how you learn best. Start with some good books or online videos or coaching websites. Once you've gotten enough reps/time at the tables and a decent grasp of winning play, then move up to hiring a coach. That's the approach I've taken over the past 15 years or so and it's paid off. Never stop trying actively to become a better player. Discuss hands with trusted poker friends.

And learn new games! There is more to poker than NLHE.

Practice and more Practice...Id say the fastest way is practice makes perfect. Prob the best way is to read up on how to calculate your odds/percentages of winning and catching your cards you need to win, then after you can do it in yr head instead of using like an algorithm, they help you learn too. After that you start trying to figure out what others are holding and/or wanting to catch or call with, yr doin good. Good luck.
