2 dudes starting a study group to reach for glory ;)

Hey guys, a good friend of mine and I are looking to start a studygroup to help push each other to becoming better poker players. You know how it is with motivation, the workload, feeling the need to discuss ideas etc but not knowing where to go.

Both of us are experienced grinders playing up to 100nl on Stars and up to 400nl on smaller sites, we have been working together as a duo for more than a year, looking to expand our circle. Everyone with a goal and work ethic is welcome, from 25nl to 1knl or beyond :)

We have acces to all the usual stuff like RIO elite, Pio, all other tools, etc.

Biggest problem i personally have is that i like playing far more than stuyding, but once i sit down to work i usually develop a passion for the problem faced. In the group we could do basically anything imaginable from discussing Books, to sharing Pio work, analysing RIO vids together, sweatsessions, etc etc.We really want to make this a useful group with dedicated grinders and a lot of exchange, not just posting a hand every 3 days to hear "ul, wp"

If you wanna have a look or chat just hit me up on discord under

Cheers :)

added you, looking forward to chat :) So far our group consists of 4 people and we just started to get to know each other, but i already like the mix of seasoned grinders and thirsty upcomers :)

Hi, added you. Let's mastermind this stuff and crush NL500 ZOOM on Stars around the clock so we don't have to battle each other.

Hey guys :) i have accepted both ur requests, Flopstarr and Greed. Get back to me whenever you find time.

So far we are 7 grinders in the group, with quite the mix going on. We have 3 players currently battling at the 100nl tables, one of them is an oldschool grinder who is getting back in the game, with huge success up to 3knl in the past, the other 2 are me and my friend who started the group with excellent background and a great highstakes-beast coach and friend who is preparing us for highstakes glory ;)

Then we have another player who plays 400nl-1knl at the moment with many years as a fulltime pro under his belt.

The remaining two guys are the young guns of the group, we have a transitioner from MTTs to 6max cash. he is currently located at 25nl but we hope we can improve him quickly, he brings useful content into our discussions everyday.

Our last member is really one of a kind, from what i have seen so far in my pokercareer. He is an Asian 20yo kid with one of the funadementally and theoretically most profound pokerminds i have seen in a long time. He is playing 2nl right now because,well, i dont know why to be honest :D but he has the approach of mastering the game first in his mind and then conquering the tables. He talks about poker like a GTO bot from the future, has all the solutions and crazy strategic insight on just about every aspect of the game, and a brilliant mathematical mind. I am seriously baffled by this kid everytime we talk poker, and he plays 2nl at the moment. i would NOT be surprised if he makes it to 200nl by the end of 2018 and 1knl in 2019.

I am very happy with how "my" little group is developing, theres good exchange every day and some interesting discussion going on around the clock.

Sooo yeah, just by the nature of how exchanging content and ideas work, i would ask anyone who is playing lower than 100nl to please NOT add me on Discord... We are shooting for midstakes players atm because we dont wanna "wash down" the group as a whole. I hope that didnt sound to douchey.

Hey guys, awesome to see so many study groups pop up.

When playing is so much more fun than studying, try and make the study more fun by being more playful and experimenting. Don't force things, take it easy, work hard and step back. Find out what works best for you not what someone says you should go with.
Find out how you best work and learn. Some people can only study effectively for 15 minutes, others need to do it together with others, talking about things, maybe when someone mentioned a hand, you cannot fully follow, because you need to visually see it...

if you are able to find out these things about yourselfs, you will have a much easier time with studying. Find out what works well for you and what doesn't and what did so in the past.

Hey man. Just saw your post about having some spots available for your level study group. I play mostly 100 and 200NL and have a winrate of about 8BB/100, but am looking to get involved with a study group. I have been a member of Upswing Poker for awhile now, but am new member of RIO. Let me know if you guys still have room in the group. I added you on Discord just in case!
Thanks,
Brandon

sry kids i have to repeat, we are currently NOT looking to add any new members to our group. to be honest though i can see from the amount of requests we are getting that demand is defnitely there, so i would advise people to start their own threads and form some new groups :) gl my dudes
