From there, break down your time playing/studying ratio (you will find playing should outweigh studying). When you have setup study time, look at what you are going to devote it to eg. working on previous session, working on particular opponent type, endgame etc.. have a reason to study, not just to make up the time.
Working 40hours a week and playing poker is extremely difficult, and i am in a similar position and i can allow 3-4 hours a day max. Dont forget friends and family. Happy to work with you on your game (HH/sweats) when i am back, as i will need to get some sort of study partner to help each other along.
All the best mate. |
Thanks buddy I'm just getting things together and starting from scratch with fundamentals and getting some theory in practice. I have a hectic schedule at work but I am willing to devote as much time as I can to poker.
I have collected a lot of videos that I think will help my game.
I am starting out so please understand I won't be that good at first but I will do my very best.
Kudos Bro! |

I am gonna interfere here  I´d be very pleased to join you guys, I am also willing to do HH reviews, sweat sessions, or w/e and I would appreciate to have a study partner. I wouldn´t say I am a complete beginner since I have some CG experience and therefore I can play somewhat semi-good postflop. Still far from being good though.
Feel free to reject me though  . |

Feel ya pain bro, I have a 9-5 too & 2 kids. I tend to have a couple hours poker time Tue-Sun (Monday is my day of rest!).
Starting out, I wouldn't rush into committing a ton of hours at the table, build yourself up. Play a few games, figure out the spots you find tough & review them, post them on here. As a rule you should have an 80:20 split playing vs studying.
HH reviews are a good habit to get into. Even if you aren't great, it gets you thinking about different lines & situations & allows strat talk. |

I think the more people we have the better it will get. Currently I am watching some videos, and reading articles, there's an overwhelming amount of info so I'll take bite sized chunks.
Thanks again guys!!! |
