What's the single thing that has improved your poker play the most?

Playing, Playing and Playing.

The 3 most important which you can do.
Try out new styles, play w. different images but most imported, get experience.

And that comes by playing lots and lots of hands. (Not at the same time)
 
Watching better players has helped me a lot. There’s a reason they have success. They play aggressively, position, and exploit weaker opponents to perfection. Well timed aggression is key. Learning how and when to pull the trigger is important. The more I play the better I will get in all situations.
 
Good afternoon ! What greatly improved my poker was attending poker sites, poker community ... join groups of friends to study the game and we think playing.
 
Paying attention!! Try to watch how others are playing, much more envolved, but that’s what is helping me now
 
I read super system 2, parts of 1
and lindgren's book, and negraneau's book
learned the math
after that, the best thing to improve is to apply what you know
and learn from experience. but if you can, read a poker book or two.
 
I watch streams of professional poker players. This helps to improve the game and make fewer mistakes.

I would say Flopzilla is the one thing that has helped me the most with poker. Being able to visualize how hands and ranges hit different flop textures, then seeing how the turn and river can affect those hands and ranges. I think Flopzilla is the best tool out there for poker players, and just a little work goes such a long ways.
 
I would say experience helped the foundation of my game but I read a lot of articles, watched YouTube videos and twitch streamers to help understand the game even more.

The next step is books and coaching.
 
Studying the probabilities every hand has of winning! Trying to guess which hand has my opponent. Try to imagine every possible scenario when I could win or get beaten. I hope it helps
 
Table selection. I used to win a few BB over an hour at microlimit or lose a few, out of pride of wanting to fight regs and prove I'm better. When I gave up on that, left a table if there weren't 2 or more fish out of 6, my win rate increase by almost 100x. This is just with knowing basic pot odds and having a disciplined range I stick to, that's all the skills it takes. But table selection is still the most important. I don't think even Phil Ivey- level skill beats the edge that proper table selection gives you, by a large multiple.
 
Sometimes I watch streams, read poker literature, and there are professionals and amateurs on the forums, I try to visit their sites, they leave some useful information, I practice in the game. After theory, I open poker and try to play for a couple of hours. And so almost every day.

Okay so when I say "single most thing" I don't mean reviewing your hand histories or playing. I mean something like a book you read, a forum you read, watching poker streamers, watching poker on TV, your dad etc etc.

I'm just curious, the reason being is because when I get deep into studying poker I actually find I waste a lot of time downloading loads of books, or sometimes I even watch videos repeatedly by accident cause I forgot I already watched it ages ago.

So back to the top, what has helped your poker game the most. If there is more than one thing, just shout.

Self hypnosis, the secret, the law of attraction 😱

Best books on the subject 'Think and Grow Rich' & 'The Inner Game of Tennis'

By taking care of the 'inner game' the rest automatically falls into place. Proper habits, discipline, play study balance, self care, etc.

I use twitch and some books to improve my skill. I work with my hand base per week.
 
Listening to podcasts regularly. Thinking Poker podcast and DGAF sessions are both great, and very different. Over time you start to just absorb the way high level players think and it becomes a part of you.
 
I like to see zeros poker videos and streams and i think i have laerned read the villains
 
i think talking and discussing hands/situations with your peers really helped me, whether i agreed with them or not, it helped me to see other peoples perspective on things.

What e learned is to cope with slumps that gives US poker, those who think no good, you're bad player and make you leave the poker, it is very important to live those days, weeks and even months experiences gives us those bad moments in life ,, nothing expands forever, one day not stand another arrived ,, ,,, good times and a study helped motivate me to become a better person as a good player who ..caminos ..suerte friends are endless ...
 
Watching videos on youtube and studying here on the CC forum.
 
Practice. You know what they say practice makes perfect. So more time playing and practicing is definitely #1 in my book that helped me and will help any1 if they do it. Good luck to all and crush em. :deal:
 
I agree with the practice, the first thing is to have in your head all the basic concepts, like the position, spr, hand ranges, then making decitions thinking about this, at the first, this can be so much and frustrating, but with the practice, this will be a faster process and you will see yourself improve
 
I think time... The time that helps you develop yourself. The exercise... There are online freerollsThat don't have big prizes, no big bets, but still help you get experience... I've improved a lot over the years. Some people have certain habits... It's easy to know. I've been to unibeten tournaments with a man I made a deal with Name. I've partly known him. Hexa pro got us together, played the same thing. I could pronounce it easily.
