Message: [QUOTE="rhoudini, post: 6756023, member: 1015282"] Hey [USER=491394]@Andyreas[/USER] , how are you doing? I don't know if there is a rule for how much time to dedicate to study, but I can share my personal little experience so far. Some months ago, I was playing too much, almost eveyday, several freerolls and some micro tournaments. And I work 8h/day, therefore there are no many hours left to play. And I was not satisfied with my level. Ok, some results here and there, but still having so much trouble with some decisions. I also was getting very tired, and constantly finding myself with no time for other activities. That's when I realized that if I had continued like that, I would not be able to do this for so much time. And I wasn't improving. Then I simply divided my free hours in the week and simply commited myself to follow it. 0. I defined a clear goal. Do you have yours? Is it to get good at tournaments? Is it to play cash games? Is it to crush SnGs? Stick to only one for some time. 1. I separated a specific day for playing long hours and play really focused. This is the day to fully practice. In my case, saturdays. 2. Having a specific day to REALLY play, I separated some days to just study and prepare for saturday. I take tuesday and friday evenings to study. 2 hours max. Some wednesdays too, but sometimes I play a little bit. 3. Reviewing hands, so much important! For me this is not fun at all, it requires a lot of discipline, because this is the moment when you face you, and what you will discover about your game may not be good at the moment, but it's necessary to avoid same mistakes. It's not fun to play less hours (or even pause) and study, but here's the truth: tomorrow the same tournaments will be there. And also next week. And the next. If I don't pause a little, next year I will look back and regret the time I could have studied and improved. My results would certainly be much better, but pursuing immediate rewards will do the opposite. [B][I]There is no best investment than pausing and studying to get better.[/I][/B] When you see better results after some weeks of study, you will not negotiate your study time. Repeat this until you think you have a good understanding for that level. Crush the field for a while, and then look for what is the next level, and go for it. I hope it helps somehow. GL at the tables!! [/QUOTE]
