How do you study POKER?

ScoobyEdu said:

Hello FRIENDS !!!

Today I woke up with this thought, do I study the right way?

But beyond my doubt, I thought about people who are starting in poker and have the initial question: HOW TO STUDY POKER?

So I decided to create this topic so that we can discuss this subject and I know that each one has a different way of studying, as well as a different strategy.

I hope that we can here in this topic centralize the information on this subject... as well as some software that you use for your studies....

Thank you all!!!

To study poker, you need a variety of tools and methods.
Here are some things I think need to be incorproated into your study.
1) The Cards Chat 30-day course. It's a must to start with.
2) Hand reviews. You need to review every session you play and identify your leaks.
3) HUD reports. If you have a HUD, reviewing various built-in reports can be insightful.
4) Poker Books. I think that ,. these days, it is a good idea to read a book or two on GTO. You don't have to play like a robot but it helps to know the rules the robot is following. I like Jonathan Little's Excelling at NLHE. Dan Harrington book was OK. Read a Mike Carro book many years ago about tells... not useful for online, but if you play live, it is very useful.
5) Poker training sites: there are loads. PokerCoaching.com (Jonathan Little). GripsedPoker. Cards Chat. DPO.
6) Poker training apps - DTO Poker is good for getting feedback on your play. Lots of tools here for improving your play.
7) Poker Videos: It is good to watch poker training videos, but not all that useful watching high stakes poker.
8) BRM training. If you are serious about making some money, you really need to manage your bankroll. Fun, gambly plays need to become infrequent.
9) Maths: you need to come to grip with all the maths involved which should be driving your decision making. You probably do an OK job of estimating probabilities, but to be great you really need to know your stats better.
10) player notes: you shoud be generating a LOT of player notes when you play and you should be reviewing them and editing/clarifying them on a regular basis.
11) set goals: You need to set goals for yourself to get better. It isn't magic. You don't just sit down and get rich playing poker. That isn't the way it works.
12) Measure progress: What are you setting goals for if you aren't reviewing progress and addressing issues along the way.
13) Play some poker: apply what you have learned in the previous steps to your game. Then review your play afterwards and continue the cycle.

Cheers,

To study poker, you need a variety of tools and methods.
Here are some things I think need to be incorporated into your study.
1) The Cards Chat 30-day course. It's a must to start with.
2) Hand reviews. You need to review every session you play and identify your leaks.
3) HUD reports. If you have a HUD, reviewing various built-in reports can be insightful.

6) Poker training apps - DTO Poker is good to get feedback on your game. Many tools here to improve your game.
7) Poker videos: It is good to attend poker training videos, but it is not useful to attend high stakes poker.
8) BRM training. If you really want to earn some money, you really need to manage your bankroll. Fun and risky jumps need to become infrequent.
9) Mathematics: you need to familiarize yourself with all the mathematics involved that should guide your decision making. You probably have a good job in estimating probabilities, but to be optimal you really need to know your statistics better.
10) player notes: you must generate MANY player notes when you play and you must review and edit/clarify them regularly.
11) Set goals: You need to define goals for yourself to improve. It's not magic. You don't feel rich playing poker. It doesn't even work.
12) Meça o progresso: For what are you setting goals you are not reviewing progress and addressing problems along the way.
13) Play a little poker: apply what you learn in the stages prior to your game. Then, review your game later and continue the cycle.

Health,
JT

Bom, today I have a tempinho between work and show to leave my comment.

I believe that we cannot do without some study.
Therefore, any step you take to the evolution of your game is valid.
But for whom you have no idea... at least it is necessary to separate the most important ones, or to know which tournament deserves attention from study.
Lembrando that.. ALWAYS when installing a poker software:
* check whether it is allowed to save tournaments automatically or not.
* Be aware that some study software cannot be opened together with the poker site, for example, PS is an immediate alert. And the message is not very legal... LoL

For beginners, it is important to have Equilab to be able to analyze the behavior of the ranges, because we are always on a range and not on a mine because we are not mediums...

Then, if someone had some duvida, I can post a post talking a little more about Equilab.

Eu acho that is isso...

And more once: Every step we take, regardless of size, is formed in search of learned and evolution... IS SUPER VALID!

And another thing is not to worry about losing, but learning to lose playing correctly... that the rest see with time...

For the sake of the game is brigar with the head... as what could have happened, what did not happen... and that affects all your game...

When you do study, make sure it is relevant to the style of the modern game.
Keep your range wide, something like 30/20 so you are not easily read.
Have a range for each opponent and on each street try a establish where their range fits the board cards.
Be aware of what category your cards occupy on each street and if the board has strengthened or weakened your holding.
