Default Re: How to really study the game.

Think about the goddam game!

David Sklansky didn't descend from a mountaintop with his hand rankings inscribed on stone tablets. Mike Caro didn't transcribe The Book of Tells from sheets of gold foil while wearing Andy Latto's magic glasses. Doyle Brunson didn't achieve enlightenment while sitting underneath a tree.

These are ordinary men, who happened to put a lot of thought into poker, and perhaps talked it over with their friends, and worked things out that turned out to be useful, and they wrote them into books.

You can put a lot of thought into poker and talk it over with your friends and work out things that turn out to be useful, too. You don't necessarily have to put it into a book.
