Default Re: How to Study?

I just read HEFAP for about the 4th time. And this last time was definately the most productive than the others. I have come to the realization that book is better read slowly, in parts.

Poker is a complex game, and its strategies can be very situational. If you just read a book like SSHE, and then read through HEFAP or a NL book, the information can sort of "overwrite" each other in your mind. This is bad because you risk applying the wrong concepts at the wrong time, or just forgetting a previously learned concept altogether.

During this last reading of HEFAP, I would read it one section at a time. I think about what they are trying to tell me, and how does this compliment/conflict tactics from SSHE? Do I remember this tactic from the NL books too or is it limit specific? Etc... It's a little slower, but it's not too bad.

Learning Poker is a hobby all by itself.
