Message: [QUOTE="Gutshot Gus, post: 7205435, member: 475459"] You can be a good player without studying the game. What makes you a winning player vs being a losing one? To be a winning player you have to play better. You can not study and play well and be a winning player. At the same time if you don't study you are most likely making some mistakes (leaks) that costs you a bet from time to time. If you study (sharpen the saw) you are likely to make the correct play more often and have a higher win rate. I think you can get by without studying but if you study you will have an edge over the person who does not study.
