work ethic - 2- 4hrs/day simply sutdying the game for a year. I worked on a trading desk with lots of downtime and I spent some of it on 2+@ and reading books.

What is your definition of studying the game? Is that just reading and thinking about possible hands without playing or the whole cycle of reading,playing,reviewing? If so my thoughts behind the question was more in the direction of f.e. say you spent 8 hours on poker, 2 hours is reading books, 2 reading forum and 4 playing.

Then with that in mind I was trying to figure out if you'd suggest a beginner to spent more time on learning the theory before starting to crunch number of played hands.

its a progression, so a combinatino is best, most ppl make the mistake of too many hands not enough study, but a REGULAR balance between the two of any sort is just fine.

something like for a total beginner 40% study, 60% play and for a beginner 30% stud, 70%, best players 5% study, 95% play.....

totally rough numbers

if you were trapped in an island with one poker player, who would it be?

if you had to choose between losing one of your hands vs not being able to use PT/PAHUD, which one would you choose?

You talk about the benefits of PT alot. What do you think about holdemmanager?
