I think you are right, quite minimal impact on my WR once I reach a high%.

I didn't want to convince myself I have mastered RFI and was ready to move on if I wasn't ready, but you are right I have clearly got it to a strong level, there is little point 'mastering' it if I could easily improve other areas of my game.

Thanks for the answer, GL to you too ElSquancho

Hey ENEMYfu Yea I'd be interested in that, I need some motivation at the minute to get studying, been slacking recently, hit me up on discord. Bambi99333#6870

Hey Stockings,

I'm quite early into my studies of this course but use quite a heavy study/play approach.

My perfect day of study (which happens a lot less often than I would like) goes something like this:

1. I go through an episode of the course making notes on the topic (currently working through the preflop episodes)

2. I pick a topic from my notes and focus on just that for 3-4 days, currently I'm building out my RFI ranges. I am picking 1-2 categories of hands a day and working out the minimum hand I should be opening from each position, and composing a cheat sheet of these hands to aid me in spots I'm unsure of.

3. I plan a play session of around 500 hands on two tables really focusing on the topic I have just studied. I have begun streaming my play sessions as this really really helps me focus, lose all distractions and even though the only people watching are 2 of my friends I am talking through every decision as I'm 'on camera' and it has significantly improved my play and decisions. I would start my session with a 30 minute warm up, using Random.org and ProPoker tools to test myself on my opening ranges which has really helped drill the ranges into my head. I then use the session as a live test, marking any hands I'm unsure of.

4. Post session I do a hand review on the positions I'm focusing on for that day, usually around 90 hands total, and go through each hand making sure I made the correct decision to raise or fold, and if I did make a mistake really deep diving into the mistake to work out:
   a. Why was it a mistake
   b. Why did I make the mistake
   c. From this hand category what is the correct minimum hand I should be opening.
   d. Note down my conclusions.

   1. I would then Write in a play journal how the session went, any outcomes, and how confident I am in that topic, asking myself if it needs more work or I am confident to move on to the next topic.

This thorough approach has really helped me drill these topics into my head and I am already seeing success over 10k hands. I'd recommend testing out your study in a very focus heavy session at the very lowest stakes as for me it has really helped put the lessons into practice and see the positive effect good focus and good discipline has had on my game which is boosting my morale to stick at the study, something I have really struggled with in the past.

Thanks for the reply Mike, I've been playing around with random.org and some ranges I imported into odds oracle and have found I am heavily undervaluing DS hands especially ones with an A in them hands like AT86$DS or AJ53$DS which I would normally just throw in the bin have been coming out as clear pots. it's something I'm going to try and focus on during my next few sessions. I'm really new as well but was also surprised by how much solver ranges value $DS hands
