Study Method

A Weekly Poker Study Routine You Will Actually Keep

The best study routine is the one you keep. That means short, daily, and specific: a few minutes of range drills most days, one longer solver-review session a week, and a habit of flagging the hands you were unsure about. Ambitious plans fail in week two; small ones compound.

A weekly routine

WhenTimeWhat
Mon–Fri 10–15 min Preflop range drills for one seat (GTO Ranges+)
2–3 days 15 min Postflop spot practice on one texture (Postflop+)
Once a week 30–45 min Review the week's flagged hands against Solver+
Ongoing In-session Flag any hand you were unsure about for later review

Most study plans are written for a version of you with unlimited time and willpower. This one is built for the actual you, the one with a job and a phone.

Daily: small range reps

Ten minutes of drilling one seat's range does more than a two-hour session you do once and never repeat. The point is frequency: the borders only become reflexes through spacing.

Weekly: one real review

Once a week, sit down with the hands you flagged during play and check them against the solved answer. This is where the leaks you actually have (not the ones you imagine) get found and fixed.

Always: flag, do not fix at the table

When a spot confuses you mid-session, do not spiral. Flag it and move on. The table is for playing your best current game; the study session is for upgrading it. Keeping those separate is what keeps the routine sustainable.

Frequently asked

How much poker study is enough?

Enough to keep the loop turning. Short daily range drills plus one weekly review beats sporadic marathons. The metric is consistency, not hours logged.

When should I study versus play?

Keep them separate. Play your best current game at the table and flag confusing spots; upgrade that game in dedicated study sessions. Trying to solve hands mid-session hurts both.
