Hi Jamie, how many hours per week do you dedicate to study and
How do you balance it with your play time/stream time?


what kind of aproaching did you took on poker in this 6 months of transition between school to full poker to reach so much sucess on your tourney results?


thanks

Hey Arquerito,

The balance is hard between study and play right now because the stream time is unexpected. I think I average maybe 3 hours a week right now of study which isn't optimal. I'm improving faster then I have in the past though just because 14 hours a day 7 days a week is spent on poker or poker stuff so I am around it so much more then before. It's open to close so even if it's not "study" it's helpful.

The shift from school to poker was actually pretty natural. I was already a good player and new how to grind so it just meant that my long term plans were aligned with what I was actually doing. I didn't expect it to go as well as it has, but I think I was used too just playing weekends. The weekday grind creates a lot of profitable opportunities.
