Heh, you sound like me - I had (and still have) great difficulty in knuckling down to some studying.

Don't bother with the instructional sites until you have at least some sort of bankroll to work with. It's all well and good paying $100 (or whatever) to sign up for one of them, but if that $100 is coming out of your $200 BR it makes little economic sense. Books can be picked up relatively cheaply in comparison, and provide a better starting point, as a lot of instructional videos at places like CR and PXF assume you have basic knowledge which if you are just starting out in poker you may not have.

The problem with you reading is that if you don't have the patience and reading a book is becoming a chore for you, you most likely won't be taking anything in. Take notes of what you read. Draw pretty pictures. Intermix your 'study' time with your playing poker time. Do something, anything, that helps make reading less of a 'chore' to you. If you are 'into' poker you will find that invariably the more you play, the more you want to learn, and the less of a chore your poker study will become.

Experiment with different types of poker if you haven't already. You will soon settle on a niche which you prefer, be it SNGs, big tournaments, ring games, Omaha, whatever.
