The more I study the more my game quality is degrading

Maybe hold 'em isn't for you. You should try another game.

You want to headsup one on one?
Then I will decide it is for me or not..

lol, poker is a very complex game with several styles, many times we make the best decision in the medium and long term that is profitable, but when we study some content of players and friends we come across a difference.
Not that I'm playing badly or making the worst decisions, but the fact is that everyone has a theory (poker is complex)
When we raise the limits and with that the study routine, the theories change a lot.
I indicate that you continue studying, taking information from several players and adapting for you the most lucrative ways that work at the limits you play.
lol when we study and analyze something different or what we are used to doing it seems that we are doing everything wrong or we don't know anything lolll.
Normal follows studies and glglgl.

It happened to me also. Studying is ok up to a point. Up to the point where you understand the game and different strategies. Surely you can go further and learn more advanced and sophisticated stuff. But it comes a moment when you have to use what you learned and develop your strategy and stick to it. Tweak it so it becomes profitable in the long run. And remember... Most of the time... Simpler is better...

Why do you think, your game quality is declining? If for instance you tried a bluff but got called, it does not mean, you played poorly. Maybe you just ran into the top of someones range. Depending of course on what they called you with. But it is important to study strategies, which are appropriate for the games, you play. There is no reason to try a fancy check-raise bluff on the river representing the nut flush, if you are playing against a freeroll maniac, who just wont fold. In such a situation you should stick to a simple ABC strategy and bet thinner for value but not bluff.
