Software and Tools Poker Forums

Didn't read all the replies so don't know if it was mentioned yet.
Keep a list of leaks you want to fix, stuff you want to pay attention to etc. and go over it every time before you start playing a session. Also taking a glance at the list while playing might be helpful aswell, depending on how busy you are / how many tables you play.
I recently started doing this religiously and it helps a bunch with opening your eyes. It helps to take playing for deliberate practice instead of grinding out hands.

Also for your long term memory: Test yourself a lot. There are a lot of studies suggesting that testing yourself after you have read any material helps tremendously with longterm memory. Reference: http://psych.wustl.edu/memory/Roddy%20article%20PDF's/Roediger%20&%20Karpicke%20(2006)%20Review.pdf
tldr, I know, but it's worth it, I promise. Check it out.
Also note that repeated reading often causes the illusion of knowing material very well. I think this has a huge implication on learning poker.

Edit: No idea why the last part of the link is seperated. Just copy paste it.

+1 for evernote

as far as other stuff - pick one book or video series and watch/read the entire thing before you jump to something else!

i would suggest you go one step further and pick one video producer(due your HW first) and watch every video they made for the game you are learning and don't watch anything else until you are done - there is great value in listen to a consistent thought process

while doing this take notes but before each session pick only a few things you want to put into practice and work on those things for as long as it takes to make them part of your playing habits before moving on

For books and articles I don't know any related soft...

this looks pretty cool - i would have loved this 2ish years ago when i was member of 3 training sites and watching 1 video/day

Indeed, Evernote looks like a nice piece of software ...

The only thing that bugs me, now that I've starting using it extensively in the last days, not only for poker notes, is that you have only two branching levels available ( stack and notebook ), so sooner than later I will end up with several dozens of stacks which will be kinda messy ... Anyone has a nicer solution ?!

CallMeAl, you can also use tags to organize your notes. You can choose to show only notes that have a certain tag attached to them, even multiple tags. That's a pretty powerful feature in my opinion.

Thank you guys for the tips
- yes tags seem a good way to cross-link things. Updating to the latest version I've also discovered that you can now add link to notes, so one other way to regroup different things
- regarding watching a certain series/coach, I was thinking of watching all the episodes in one of the Micro NLHE 6-max playlists. Also watched a couple of episodes in Haj School and Mindset and Strategies series.

Would you guys think I should finish both those two before anything else, or can I mix them with one of the playlists ?

Also, how should I divide best my daily poker time (3-4 hrs) into playing/studying/reviewing ? Watching a video with detailed notes taking is indeed time consuming, I've spent I think 2hrs for the first 40min of a video... Should I just study for a couple days/weeks and play afterwards, should I study+play+review every day, or maybe there's already a video on the subject that I'm not aware of...

Are you still crushing at +23bb/100 ?

Nope, this month I was trying to study a bit more and move up in stakes ( so mixing NL2 and NL5 and a bit of NL10 ), and it didn't felt like I was playing my A-game, it's down to 9bb/100 in less than 10k hands in NL2

Nice but you know.. study never ends for poker players

Evernote is the nuts, should have tried it properly sooner
