I see this fairly often, imo, a common misperception from people who haven't read many (any?) poker books.
As was already mentioned, books help you to develop your own thought process.
As far as what to recommend to OP in this thread?? "It Depends" (depends on what you've already done &/or what you're doing to work on your game).
If you haven't read any books, I'd suggest grabbing ahold of a couple. What book(s)? > "It Depends" (what are you playing?).
If it's 'Tournaments' (nlhe) and you haven't read a book before, I'd suggest:
Harrington On Hold'em Vol. 1 & 2, followed by the books suggested by Daniel72 above in this thread.
Also (as mentioned already in this thread) read the 'sticky' section. Some good stuff in there!
As far as 'What to watch'?
Hard to say. I've had memberships at a few online training sites, all of which have been very helpful. When watching vids. I find you get more out of them with the more you put into them (ie. stopping vid., analyzing situations on your own prior to listening to coach who's doing the video, then analyzing your thought process, etc. etc.).
I used to make a point of watching a couple of vids. per week & at one time I used to watch a vid. prior to almost every time I played a session online. Lately - not so much... but the past couple of weeks I've been watching a bunch more, looking to get re-motivated to play some more & have been finding it helpful (even when it feels like it's just confirming what I know already).
As far as "what to play". Can't answer that one without knowing what you like, what you've been playing, BRM, etc.
