We all know our biggest leak... even if we don't always fix it.

Mine used to be talking myself into "hero calls" on the river against players who almost never bluff enough.

I'd sit there thinking:
"He could have missed clubs..."
"Maybe he's turning a pair into a bluff..."
"I'm getting too good of a price..."

Meanwhile, they just roll over the nuts.

I've probably saved thousands by simply folding more big river bets against population tendencies.

What's your biggest leak right now?

• Calling too much?
• Bluffing too often?
• Playing too many hands?
• Tilt?
• Poor bankroll management?
• Something else?

I’m 23 years old, I’ve been playing poker seriously with my friends for two years, and I’m a very winning player. I currently have quite a lot of free time and I would like to start learning poker professionally to give it a try, but I have absolutely no idea where to start. I know the basics of probability theory, but apart from that, nothing. I’ve heard about solvers, but I don’t know if I should start directly with that. Are there any good poker courses, videos, clubs, or books that are better than others? What should I learn first? And how do I seriously get into poker?
