Studying poker away from the table, how's it done???

So many people from their company go into threads on all poker forums possible disguised talking about how great their products are. They also ask certain players to do the same in their blogs etc without people knowing they're really just advertising them and don't care about their products.

May not sound too bad or whatever but it makes me have very little respect for a company that needs that to happen.

You're good. Now's not the thread to go into it but they do contact FTRers.

Anyways, I think a good way of studying is something I hoped we could try to do in the BC at some time. Play an "Exploit the player" game where someone posts as many reads/stats/etc. on a player and we all chime in on how we'd exploit the player's tendencies. We'd talk about building preflop and postflop ranges, talk about board texture, bet sizing on board texture, etc.

And there might be some good arguing going on which is fun.

DO IT. My HEM trial has expired though, anyone with a decent sample on a villain post the stats and we can get a good discussion going and hopefully improve our villain profiling and become quicker to make adjustments vs certain villains increasing our edge and win rate. I'm all for it.
