Hey, what do you believe is the most effective way of studying the game? And how do you approach study yourself?

The brief answer is to find something that comes up all the time, such as opening or threebetting or c-betting. Whenever I hear guys yukking it up about a thin river spot for three hours I know I'm being surrounded by dumb asses, because it is a complete waste of time unless you really enjoy the process (which many of these guys claim they don't). If you're never going to see the spot again then it's worthless to navigate it so thoroughly. Learn more than anyone about what cards to barrel, for one. Learn more about threebetting light than anyone. Do it frequently. Learn. Reach for something just out of your reach, collect the data, analyze, and re-initialize. Never autopilot.

I have a series on Cardrunners actually called How To Study where we spend hours on these topics with Powerpoint slides, CREV tutorials, Flopzilla readouts, and hand histories.
