Do you actively study mental game or just learn from experience?

[Bawse]

I rely mostly on experience for my mental approach to poker. That said, I’ve also picked up a lot from studying and watching players I believe can help me improve.

How about you?

I learn from experience, my own experience as well as someone else's experience. I like to listen to good players and try to implement their winning strategies in my next game.

Relying only on experience can slow the growth seriously. I used to play blindly like that, no deep reflection. So, I decided to review my hands, I noticed I kept repeating same mistakes. That moment changed my approach. Having a small study can help sharpen your decisions more than some kind of endless grinding.

I disagree, I think it’s underestimated how much players can improve through experience, especially when they reevaluate hands after making poor decisions.

You can also improve significantly by playing against stronger opponents, and I believe the experience from our home games provides exactly that.
