[Baldy86]

1. learn the rules

2. learn roughly the percentages / odds , position etc

and then

the best thing to learn poker is = playing poker

Playing

Alot of poker pros play on twitch now. You can see them play their cards in multiple tournaments. If I were a beginner, I think I would learn alot from them.

 

[1nsomn1a]

Playing, playing a lot, is the best way to learn how to play poker.

 

[Dandadandan]

The quickest way to learn poker is to lose all your money playing poker.

Several times.

Then you will try harder to win.

Bad advice. Don't lose all your money. I did learn by losing often though... part of the motivation to improve was to finally start beating the friend who introduced me to the game of Texas Holdem.

Watch the video of the tournament with open cards and play freerolls more often) Learn from your mistakes.

 

[Recreationalplayer]

Learn poker by watching videos or read books and play poker.
Spend 60% of the timing on learning and 40% on playing poker.

 

[viacheslavtezikov]

The easiest way to learn poker is to play and play. Practice is an important element. In addition to practicing the game, you need to watch video lessons, read poker books.

 

[NiallPlays]

The best way to learn I would say would be to watch stuff online maybe read a book and most importantly a good way to learn without having to suffer financially would be by playing freerolls

Through a coach or watching video lessons on youtube?

There is no fast way to learn anything, especially Poker, it takes Time, Practice and Patience, if you wanted to become a Plumber, Electrician or Motor Mechanic, you could spend 4 or 5 years in an apprenticeship before you become good enough to start your own business, even then possible employers will still ask how much experience you have.
Poker is whatever you want it to be, whether it is playing with Friends in a Home game, or making a living from it, It takes time to become skillful enough to make the big games pay off.
I have never wanted more than to become a reasonably good player that can play low stakes Poker well, and make enough money, so that it pays for itself, This I am successful at, and my on-line Poker has never cost me a Dime, so I am happy and satisfied with how I play.
Even at a Casino I have made money in Cash games and made the money in some bigger tournaments, but I would never consider buying in for Thousands of Dollars, it just does not appeal to me.
Scared? You bet I am! I do not mind admitting that, but I am not Stupid! and would never risk more than I am willing to lose, I have been playing for over 20 years and still not capable of playing for huge amounts of money that I cannot afford to lose.
There is no time limit on how you can learn Poker, and there certainly is no easy way to learn the game faster, Use everything at your disposal Book's, Video's even Coaching if that is what you want to do, but it is not easy and it all takes Time and Hard Work!

When the fun Stops, STOP!

I learned from reading books n just a lot of hours at the table. It doesn’t hurt to learn new ways to play I will say though n u can always learn something new

 

[budweiser74777]

play constantly and you will quickly learn the basics ...

 

[kanycta99]

Poker is not a one-day game. you constantly need to change the game. you can learn to play poker in a couple of hours. but you can't always start winning.

Through a coach or watching video lessons on youtube?

I believe both are valuable. But it has to be of quality, both the book and the coach.

 

[Scshred]

thats a tricky question because fast way with best way is completely different.

I believe that the first thing for somebody is to realize the stakes and the level he plays. Casino Its completely different from a home game and home game is different from a pub poker game.. and of course casino is different from the tournaments we see on tv (or YouTube). If you make aggressive donkey moves on a table full of pros you will win the first 5 hands... if you make pro moves against a table full of donkeys you will lose in the first 5 hands. Being a pro and making pro moves its completely different story.

for me the starting subjects are

Basic odds
Ranges and frequencies
M zones (in tournaments)
Preflop game
Player types
Advanced odds (opponents odds and equity)
Flop game
Position
Basic strategies
Bet size / Pot size
Turn game
intermediate strategies
pot geometry
river game
Betting patterns. Study your own and your opponents
Plan a hand from flop to river against player's type.
Always try to find something new to add as bottom line

And the discipline yourself and not always go all in on the first hand you think is good many of times you can get down the turn of the river when you got to learn to Bear your bed sizes rather than risk your whole stack.

 

[Scshred]

I will also learn to value your position on the table and read situations where you feel as though someone is making your position player rather than betting on the best hand.

 

[veltins]

Take one pro, follow his moves . N practice in your game to see which one suit your style

 

[DAVID KEHRER]

For me i read books on poker then started to play freerolls to put what i learned to see if liked playing poker.

 

[RDHartsoe]

The fastest way to learn is to play as much as you can. If you can study as well. You will always be learning.

 

[mardi1987]

If you mean the basics, learning poker is not difficult, it is much harder to choose the right situation. I've been playing my best poker ever for the last two weeks, but with that came the lowest earnings. And if I played well, the luck factor ruined me because I chose to play against bad players who don’t seem to have the fold option. Let's face it, I'm a recreational player and I play the game because I love it, and no matter how well I play, sometimes it doesn't work ... Two weeks is a small sample and I will do well with my game for a long time, but it's strange that I'm with a much worse game the first part of the month earned 30 times more than with the game in the last two weeks. I definitely recommend that you update what you learned from time to time, always find something you missed
