Good read.
Here's a direct link to the article:

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.Quote:

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.
