Re: Experts: What would you change about how you learned poker?
Well, I'm no expert, but here's my take. Although I had played poker for many years I was fairly new to hold'em when I started online. I lurked on this forum, read and studied for six months before making a deposit. While this probably got me off to a better start than most people, looking back I would have started playing sooner. Everything in the books really started to make sense at about 20K hands. In other words, there's no substitute for practice and experience, provided, of course, that you're studying and improving along the way. Repeating the same mistake 10,000 times isn't good practice.
