Time spend in studying poker >> Time spend in playing poker.

Hey so here's my advice for all the poker players out there, especially those just started it. You should spend your more time in studying the poker than playing it. Yes that's right. You may think it's weird and time wasting stuff but trust me that's the only way to improve at poker.

Who else agree with me ?

I agree. Studying away from the tables has helped me a lot, and I think it’s just as important as playing hands.

Yeah for sure if you want to improve you have to put the time in with studying. We don’t know what we don’t know.

I’ve come to realize that time spent studying poker is greater importance than time spent actually playing—especially in the early stages of learning. When you just grind hands without reflection, you’re repeating the same mistakes. But when you dive into study—reviewing hand histories, watching training content, running sims—you build the knowledge that makes every playing session more +EV.

This is the mindset everyone should have: real progress comes from studying, not playing a few thousand hands.
When we play, our focus is on execution; when we study, we focus on learning.

I agree, because I try to play a lot, study only sometimes when I make a mistake, do not study a lot beforehand.
