Are you studying poker?

[Laddys]

But probably you still profit from all those years of learning, right?

Yes, the most important lesson I learned for myself is to value my time. Invest time in what really benefits me and income (stable). Poker is like mathematics....and I applied this knowledge in a slightly different way: I calculated how much time I spent on poker and calculated my profit for this period of time. I realized that I value my time (which you can’t get back) very cheaply. Therefore, I first blocked my access to poker for 1 year (I needed this to overcome the addiction to the game acquired over time) and started doing completely different things. Now everything is fine, I still sometimes play, but there is no dependence on the game anymore and it’s more like for leisure, because sometimes you also need to rest .... That's when I rest, then I can afford to play ... not often .. ..Everything that I once learned about poker - of course I remember it all ... but if I used to consider myself a strong player (I achieved some success, studied at a paid poker school, and I had some success in the game) , now I'm most likely a "fish" .... just because I don't take it seriously anymore ... I go to poker to relax, not to strain, and when I play enough, I start to become a "fish", this is about an hour later - an hour and a half of non-stop playing in tournaments...

I like your words, but somewhat contradictory, poker is a mental game, mathematical, and if you are not good, for that it is better that you retire, and not be ruined.

I can (I just don't want to). I don't see it as a source of income. It's not serious (no one canceled the downstreak after all)...even the top regs don't have stability here... If I set myself the goal of winning some tournament, I'll probably be able to do it (at least I feel that way). But, to sit 6-15 hours in tournaments, and be exhausted because of it for the money that I can easily earn for 2-3 hours of work....does it make any sense?....Probably not. ..And yes, I use the "responsible gambling" feature and have a deposit limit of $30 per month. So it doesn't hurt me at all.)

it all depends if you are a money player or a tournament player, remember that you should always play with your bankroll, you should not exceed the limits of your bankroll, you should always play with conscience, at pokerstars, I think there is no monthly deposit limit , I consider myself a tournament player, and that's where the money is.

I study and/or learn about 2 hours a day. This includes webinars, quizzes, you tube videos, etc. Not all everyday but usually multiple sources.

if I study through explanatory videos, I am also trying to join a team in which they require you to study a lot what is strategy- for example- there is one called bluff cacher among other strategies.

 

[PuletJelek]

First time I learn poker is from pokerstars school, I like to watch the video... Its easy to understand...

My favorite course from Cardschat: https://www.cardschat.com/become-a-winning-poker-player/

[darkvick]

I like to see hand reviews and read some books and articles at the CC too.

 

[Maikychan]

Alwaaaaaaysss!
What I've been studying lately is:
1. GTO solutions for 432ss/AK7ddd BUxBB 30bbs/20bbs spots
2. ICMizer Spots Hypers
3. Preflop 20bbs, specifically reactions facing 2bet UTG

 

[Yezkidder]

Still looking how to play with those hands, about position, 3 bet, small and big blinds etc

 

[TerryBLE]

Playing tournaments and debating & analyzing them around here, I don't usually read books or watch videos.
