Hey all,

I've been going through some of my hand histories of late, and despite a steady improvement in my ROI figures, I'm struggling to get myself into the next level of thinking for my game. I suspect that I have some rather glaring weaknesses that are normally covered when someone first starts to study the game, and as such I plan on going back to the beginning and actually attempting to do some active study, as opposed to the generally passive study style that has always sufficed for everything that I've had to learn so far in my life.

 

So with this in mind, I was just wondering what people's suggestions were about going back to the basics, and what was actually considered the basics these days? my thoughts were:

 

Harrington on Holdem 1, 2 & 3 (just consistently seems to come up as the be all and end all of beginners in the modern game)

Kill Phil (because it is the logical step towards the next one on my list)

Kill Everyone

And then start hitting up the training vids and podcasts here and actually start taking notes on spots and opening ranges, styles of play, how to recognise weak and strong players, etc.

 

Anyone elses thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Also, if I've posted this in the wrong spot, please feel free to move it, as I wasn't really sure.

 

Regards,

Definitely some good books to start with I guess, 

Obv re listen to the podcasts, particularly the early eps when they sort opf covered each stage of a mtt.

 

Also, Andrew Brokus's theory vids are definitely some of the best videos to not only watch, but follow his instructions, particularly in the hand reading vids, so pause the video and try and range the hands before he tells you his thoughts.

 

Also shortstack bootcamp, is probably advised as well. Then maybe when you want to practice implementing certain aspects, try going and playing mtts/sngs that are well bellow your standard buy in, particularly useful for implementing bubble play stategy and stuff without the fear of bitching out yourself haha.
