Six Steps for Building a Personalized Poker Study Plan

Do you want to take your game from good to great in record time? Most expert players got that way by approaching their study and preparation in a specific way. 

If you take the time to create and execute a personalized study plan, you will reap the rewards!

Step 1: Look for Your Leaks

There is a popular principle in business literature known as the Pareto Principle.

It states that 80% of our results come from 20% of our efforts.

In practical terms, focusing on the right things will get you maximum results. Generally speaking, you want to look at your poker board game with a critical eye towards your most significant areas for improvement (also known as your leaks).

There are many ways to determine where to focus your study time.

  • You could do a database analysis (either by yourself or with a coach).
  • Or it could be as simple as reflecting on the spots where you are the least confident.

Confidence is a key element of poker success, and anything that improves it will pay dividends in the long run.

Whatever you do, make sure you spend your study time in a way that will give you 80/20 results. This method will ensure that you make progress quickly!
