Ok, so as the title says, im a guy thats kind of new to poker and i want to become better, so that i can play for money down the road. About 5 months ago i downloaded a poker and began to play casually and ended up really liking it, simply because i found it exciting. I went from the the $7,000 that they give you when you download it to $800,000, with really no understanding of the game at all and just playing what i felt like was common sense poker. I figured there was some strategy to the game, but upon doing a bit of research, I have found that there is much to learn about this game. Saw that there was even playing styles and the way that i played on the app, would suggest that my style of play is "tight aggressive" My goal is to spend the next two to three months studying and learning the game and eventually playing for real money. I have interest in learning how to play both, cash games and tournaments, effectively. I really like them both and cant seem to favor one over the other haha.
I want to eventually play live and online poker and seeing as that its not legal in the states, i can easily drive to Canada to play online since I am in Michigan. So, I have been going to pokerology.com lately and going over their study guides and lessons, learning a little bit, but i am here because I was watching Jamie Staples poker stream and he mentioned that you guys were really good with poker knowledge. I have compiled a list of topics to study and learn and I was wondering, if someone could tell me, if I am missing some things to go over. Here is what i plan to study the next few months:
Positioning
Poker math
Starting hand selection
Tells
Hand ranges
Hand reading
Preflop raising
Continuation bets
Barreling
That is pretty much what I have gathered so far. Is there any topics that I am missing? If so, can anyone add to the list, so that I may go over it and add to my game? I am going to be reviewing/studying these topics for the next few months. Any help would be appreciative. Thanks in advance, to those who are willing to help!
