Improving your poker strategy is mostly about building a simple, consistent process and sticking to it. First, focus on fundamentals: play tighter preflop, value bet strong hands, and avoid marginal spots out of position. Then start reviewing your sessions, even 10–15 minutes after play helps you spot leaks. Pay attention to why you lost chips, not just that you lost them. Add structured study: ranges, basic GTO ideas, and common spots like c-betting or defending blinds. Also, watch stronger players and compare decisions. Finally, work on discipline, bankroll management and emotional control are just as important as strategy. Small improvements, repeated over time, are what actually make you better.

At the top right of your CardsChat page there is a TAB called Poker - Poker School

That course can really help you understand positioning & bet sizing and playing against different styles of players in a tournament setting.

Pokerstars also has their own Poker School :) I recommend utilizing both to try to understand game theory of poker

There are some great books on poker game Theory as well but they can be long.

The Poker School Cardschat offers is interactive, same with PokerStars'.

Best wishes on improving your strategy at the tables!

Discuss your strategies here on Cardschat, other players can point out mistakes you are making or possibly learn something new from you - discussing specific hands is often beneficial.

You'll only improve by studying and playing a lot and applying what you study.

Study ranges by position, master the math (odds/outs), control your emotions (tilt), manage your bankroll.

I think experience is important. I can't think of anything but experience

There are some interesting streamers , who are explaining each hand they play, how and why they do.
Soon you'll realize that a decent poker player is playing 20-30 hands in a 7 hour tournament . Extract as much value from your good hands , and try to stay out of sticky sittuations

Hi wong! The best way to improve is a mix of study and experience. Start with the basics: play solid hands, focus on position, and value bet your strong hands. Then review your sessions — even 10–15 minutes after playing helps spot mistakes. Watching streams or discussing hands on CardsChat is great too. Little by little, you’ll start recognizing patterns and making better decisions. Patience and consistency are key — it takes time, but small improvements add up fast 👍
