Message: [QUOTE="Arjonius, post: 1997635, member: 5332"] It's not nearly as simple as reading a book means you know more and therefore your results will improve. Poker is highly situational, so you have to filter what you read to determine how well or poorly anything you read fits your situation - your style, your opponents, etc. And that's before you get to trying to integrate anything into your game. Just understanding something presented in a book, forum, video, etc. doesn't mean it can be smoothly integrated into your game without affecting other aspects. So even if you've correctly identified something to change or adapt in your game, it's not like you can plug it in and expect immediate positive results with no implementation issues and no effects on the rest of your game. And if you choose something that's fine for the writer but a poor fit for you, the result is likely to be negative. [/QUOTE]
