What time we spend playing vs studying

[Crash Burn]

I have balance but I believe that playing takes more time than studying.

 

[Roller]

Everything seems to go in streaks and most of the time it seems to be heavily weighted one way or the other. Either I'm playing a Ton and studying less or I'm completely focused on studying and seem to be playing less. Somehow try to make it all even out in the long run and hopefully a balance is kept.

 

[Pindiez]

Mine is probably 80% play and 20% study. I think that all the players when are in playing in the tables they are too studying. Play is practice! 💪🏻

Sorry for my english 🙂

time

In my personal case, I playing more than studying.

 

[saha2000]

I devote much more time to poker, but I try to spend an hour a day learning, I watch a lot of poker streams to learn certain behaviors.

Studying

This is a very relevant question. Indeed, very few players devote enough time to study and hand-picking. I myself am no exception. I want to play, play, play ... We have to work with this. Very often, I sit down at the game table without preparing either mentally or technically.

 

[alex_dorda]

My game time against training, I would rate it as 90/10

 

[TanteSjaan]

hi hi tefy!!!! :ciao:

i going try study more, right now it perhaps 10% for me *sighs*

if you're going to study, it'll be harder to beat you at the table Krista...

 

[danydidi]

i work ,well in that lock down i play 12 hours a day ,the question should be vs sleeping

 

[Snake2007]

I spend a lot playing maybe 90% and studying 10%. I didn't spend much time studying, I just relied on practice.

 

[padman400]

Just play and only study if I think I played crap.

Sometimes watch a stream of a decent player if I do not feel like playing that evening.

Learning and development is very important to improve your skills, it is only a pity that it turns out that little time is devoted to this. If you consider reading any kind of literature and articles as training, then my ratio is 4: 1, but during the game I often turn on YouTube and watch various tournaments in the background, I try to take tricks from some players)

 

[Adrian2809]

I personally think that playing poker for as long as possible, you can learn more about the game, honestly I do not study anything but just enjoy the game. I do not have time to deal only with poker, if only I would live from this I think I would like to study longer.

 

[vasiliiterkin]

Mostly I devote about 90 percent of my time to the game, and I devote another 10 percent to teaching and working on mistakes, constantly analyzing my played hands and trying to understand what I did wrong and where.

 

[markmu]

My Ratio is approximately 90/10. But as i'm still a beginner i should shift it to 60/40 or at least 70/30. But when i have time i just prefer to play rather then study and watching videos or doing the course.

 

[andreypuch]

I think I have come out somewhere in the 60/40 - play/study. But of these 40%, 20 literature and video lessons, and 20 analysis my hands. Sometimes I record my sessions on my smartphone and watch them on the road.

 

[AdonisPimenta]

I normally start my day reading a poker book, study some hands probability and after try rock and roll in some sit and go 0/ . I spent 50/50 of my free time

If we want to improve ourselves in poker then is important to dedicate hours to practice but also to study .
My percentage could be a 70/30 practice vs study
How much do you dedicate to play vs study?

Hello everyone.

I think one of the biggest flaws that differentiates us beginners from professional or semi-professional players is that we spend many hours playing and very few hours studying. I'm particularly trying to beat that equation of playing 95% of the time and studying 5%, trying to get the percentages to 50-50 or at least 60-40.
I think studying is the way to stop complaining about bad luck and bad beats and win in the long run.

Regards.

I think studying is overrated. There is nothing like palying live , to learn the game ,coupled with discussions on the play you did or saw.

If in my studies I include meditation and work on myself (mental level), then I also have 70/30.

 

[Migs]

I would think it depends a lot on where you are on the learning path. If you're just starting out, more time studying will give you a good idea of what to notice when you play and some starting boundaries. Later on, studying will be more like a refresher or higher level theory and probably much less of your time.

 

[Nulictor]

I've been balancing at about 70/30 study/play, mainly bc I lost massive bankroll trying to break into the .50/1$ games, and felt like I had to return to mastering the basics before returning to the felt

Hi Legend:
I am a newbie. The more I learn the more I discover 'I don't know". Therefore, I spend a lot of time learning. Then I take the new knowledge to the table for implementation. There is so much to learn. I am afraid 40 hours a week for 4 years may not be enough. Lately 90% learning 10% implementation.

If poker is your main source of income, then of course you need to devote more time to poker.
