Message: [QUOTE="Pokerstudent, post: 1598679, member: 53113"] I think both are key. But there should be a split ratio. 70/30 play to learn. 60/40? Depends what you need. What type of learner of you? When you were in school, did you learn best by reading the textbooks, listening to the lesson, or doing the homework? Poker study is essentially a course now. That's why I laugh when guys still think it's all about gambling. We know there luck, but there is so much more skill. For example, I like listening to podcasts. That way, I can replay them over and over. Listening and understanding is completely different. Start with Deuces Plays with Bart Hanson. By far the best free learning podcast out there. There are free tutorials on youtube and pokertube. Play some small stakes hands and do the OPPOSITE of what you would normally do. Just to see what typically happens. Mix it up. Good Luck [/QUOTE]
