Learning the material

Hey guys, I did Brokers course a while ago, I have the videos and notes. However, I don't really remember everything...eg how to play each type of hand vs each type of opponent. I reckon I could boost my ROI and bankroll by knowing this off by heart, but I want to know...how? Should I just re read it every day? Take notes again? Rewatch the videos?

How can I train my brain to remember everything?

you can actually sit down and study those notes like you do when you study for your school exams and i guess you can review like once a week

I kept my notes in front of me for every player type i played against, for a long time...   once i identified a player... or they current way the player was playing... I quickly browsed through the notes while playing.... after awhile... it becomes second nature. As well as being able to easily identify when a player is switching it up....

Getting it tattoo'd on your arms seems the best option imo.

Not sure how to go about this- I haven't taken broker's course, but I try to think logically about each hand- and sometimes when not playing poker I can remember certain spots and what I could have done better etc.

Soon your brain will be sort of "trained" and you will intuitively feel what you should do in spots. And as long as you are deeply thinking all the time you should learn very easily. Of course you may be doing things wrong, but you will be improving overtime- and more importantly, know and understand why you are improving.

Broker's course/lessons, like any other resources, are basically tools which are meant to speed this process up. It's like your parents telling you things you don't understand when younger- which you later understand to be correct. However, if you don't actually do the thinking, you aren't going to be benefiting from it.

Just memorising loads of stuff is ok for 1 match if you keep going through the notes in your head, but it is much better to engrave it through analysiing/thinking things yourself more.

That's a very good post. We have talked about stuff similar to this haven't we?

One of the best ways of improving, is to understand why you aren't winning, or for that matter even, why you are winning. If you understand this, then you can go about improving on what you are already doing.

If you keep doing the same things, you will get the same results, okay in poker this isn't actually as true as a lot of things in life, because you don't always get what you deserve in the short term in poker. We aren't playing poker for the short term though, one hand played perfectly can and will go very wrong, thousands of hands you can play perfectly will go wrong, if you make the perfect plays based on all the information you have, more often than your opponents, then you will make $ (eventually)

Passive learning wont really help you improve. Watching videos, reading (glancing through) articles and forum posts wont, you really need to get the whole thought process of why you are doing things, then you will begin to evolve as a poker player.
