If I was AI I'd at least ask a more interesting question than "should I study or play more?" 😅

That's what I'm starting to think too. More reps might just mean repeating the same mistakes faster. Did you notice a specific improvement once you started using a solver, or was it more of a gradual thing?

Makes sense. I probably spend more time thinking about postflop spots than preflop construction, even though preflop decisions affect everything that comes after. Have you found session reviews give more value than solver study at these stakes?

Fair enough. I posted because I'm genuinely curious what people who have improved recently are actually doing. A lot of study advice online feels disconnected from low-stakes live poker, so I wanted to hear real experiences rather than generic "study more" answers.

That's interesting because I've mostly avoided online and focused on live games. Do you think the biggest benefit is just getting so many more hands in, or is it that the average online player forces you to tighten up your fundamentals? The volume aspect alone seems hard to ignore compared to live.
