I guess it depends on what aspects of poker you are trying to learn?
Different sofwares cater diffirent needs. There are possibly some AI based tools that are able to analyze your game and help you to improve but I wouldn't call them cheap. How much is cheap to you? Then again free Equilab can help you drill at least one aspect of poker.

Everything is expensive from poker traing sites that want reoccurring monthly payments to a tracker thats a one time $100 payment and you still have to pay them a "maintenance fee" for uodates.

Id suggest skipping it,get a used poker book "cheap" to study and either go old school using pen and paper or creating a worksheet in something like excel where you keep track of a session like how long, how much won/lost and learn how to write or take notes on meaningful hands of the session.

or do drills like playing suited connectors, multiway from late position or in the blinds and the pot isnt crazy.

write down how many times that happened during a session,won/loss of those hands, think about why it worked or didnt work and why think about chip stacks and your position and do up your notes then see what your book says then what the internet and think about those spots.

find drills and write it down and think about the spots.

But whatever, find an alternative is my point.

AI based tools need a good visual recollection mentally, traditional books could ckme jn handy too. But what if I have played by experience for about 7-8 years? Is that a good indicator for pro-active learning?

I've been trying to find software to do a ton of drills, but to no avail. Like some popular GTO tools can do that, but they are pricey. Do you happen to know a good solution for drills?

I had forgot about this thread, sorry.

It depends on your results. If you are clearly winning then you must be doing something right.
But simply playing 7-8 years is not a merit on its own.
For example, two people have decided to take classes from a running coach to learn better running techniques. The other person has never been into jogging but the other has run for over ten years already.

Which one is an easier student?

The newcomer. Because the other one has already picked up bad habits which need to be unlearned first before new and better techniques start to stick.

Average ROI comes to mind.
