Everything seems to go in streaks and most of the time it seems to be heavily weighted one way or the other. Either I'm playing a Ton and studying less or I'm completely focused on studying and seem to be playing less. Somehow try to make it all even out in the long run and hopefully a balance is kept.
Studying
This is a very relevant question. Indeed, very few players devote enough time to study and hand-picking. I myself am no exception. I want to play, play, play ... We have to work with this. Very often, I sit down at the game table without preparing either mentally or technically.

if you're going to study, it'll be harder to beat you at the table Krista...😀😀KristaK said:hi hi tefy!!!! :ciao:
wow you study lots, good job! is why you brilliant player
i going try study more, right now it perhaps 10% for me *sighs*
Learning and development is very important to improve your skills, it is only a pity that it turns out that little time is devoted to this. If you consider reading any kind of literature and articles as training, then my ratio is 4: 1, but during the game I often turn on YouTube and watch various tournaments in the background, I try to take tricks from some players)
I personally think that playing poker for as long as possible, you can learn more about the game, honestly I do not study anything but just enjoy the game. I do not have time to deal only with poker, if only I would live from this I think I would like to study longer.

Hello everyone.
I think one of the biggest flaws that differentiates us beginners from professional or semi-professional players is that we spend many hours playing and very few hours studying. I'm particularly trying to beat that equation of playing 95% of the time and studying 5%, trying to get the percentages to 50-50 or at least 60-40.
I think studying is the way to stop complaining about bad luck and bad beats and win in the long run.
Regards.
I would think it depends a lot on where you are on the learning path. If you're just starting out, more time studying will give you a good idea of what to notice when you play and some starting boundaries. Later on, studying will be more like a refresher or higher level theory and probably much less of your time.

Hi Legend:
I am a newbie. The more I learn the more I discover 'I don't know". Therefore, I spend a lot of time learning. Then I take the new knowledge to the table for implementation. There is so much to learn. I am afraid 40 hours a week for 4 years may not be enough. Lately 90% learning 10% implementation.
