Hi everyone,

I have been learning poker step by step, and one thing that has helped me the most is reviewing my own mistakes after every session. Earlier I used to blame bad luck for every loss, but now I try to understand whether my decision was actually correct.

I also think bankroll management and patience are just as important as knowing hand ranges. A good player doesn't have to win every session; they just need to make better decisions consistently.

What is the one habit or study method that improved your poker game the most? I would love to learn from more experienced players.

For me, reviewing the hands where I felt most confident has been surprisingly useful. It often reveals small mistakes that are easy to miss during the actual game. Consistency in learning is a huge part of improving.

I think reviewing my hands in sngwiz after each session helped me improve the most.

Just looking for icm errors and adjusting ranges doesnt take that long and fixes leaks.

the biggest improvement has been learning to be more patient and not blame luck every time I lose. Luck is obviously part of poker, but understanding the probabilities is part of the game too. If I know I’m making the right decision based on the odds, I can accept the result even when the hand doesn’t go my way. I think patience is probably one of the most important things a poker player can develop. Sometimes you have to fold hand after hand and wait for the right opportunity instead of forcing yourself to play. I’m still learning, but I’ve realized that I don’t need to win every hand or every tournament. I just need to make decisions that give me the best chance in the long run. If I can stay patient and understand that both good and bad results are part of the probabilities of the game, I think I’m already improving.

Practice - I mean there are many factors that helped to improve my poker game, like for example solvers and/or reviewing the sessions, working on the mental part of the game, bankroll management, the nb1 online poker community- CardsChat etc... but without actually sitting at the tables and see how other players react to your plays and/or how you perform in different situations... you just can't improve your poker game - so practicing what you learn from different places is still IMO the best way to improve your skill and hopefully your chances to be a profitable poker player.
