Very interesting read and sparks a fire to get busy if you actually want to get good at this game. One thing I consistently slack on is studying. I've never had to do it in all my life so I think I can treat poker the same, but I cant.

I think practical (playing at the tables) is far more important for ones game than studying. Players should spend only a small fraction of their time studying compared to actually being on the tables.

This is true to a certain extent. You should be spending more time at the tables than you do studying, but a lot of players chop it up 2 hours for playing to 1 hour of studying, etc. Don't think you can't learn something new since the day you stop improving is the day you start slipping.

Disagree. There are many graphs of players who are constant losers. Sticking to the same strategy & getting tons of volume is a recipe for not progressing at the game.

Agree, though I bet our fraction would differ.
With booklearninz', there's definitely diminishing returns per day. The more important thing is to be learning frequently. Like every day, a little bit goes a lot farther than trying to study for 8 hours one day then nothing for the next week.
That gives me an idea: consume just like 10-20 minutes of a good video / book / article before starting a session. Not only goes to promote the constant learning, but also may help get my mind 'in the zone' of thinking that it needs to be.
