Hi

I am playing at micro stakes currently

Pretty sure my poker skill is below than intermediate.

Anyway, I have to join military soon.

In military, of course it is impossible to play.

so I am planning to improve my poker by reading poker books, reading forums and watching video.

(Although it is impossible to play poker, I might use computer to check forums and watch videos)

I know the most important thing in poker is an experience.

However, as I already said, it is impossible.

I will be in military 2years.

My dream is after 2 years, be a grinder.

do you guys think it is possible?

PS. I can play sometimes, when I get a furlough

if you want to be a regular poker player just reading books and blogs is not gonna work, of course practice is very important as every thing in life

How many hands do you play per week?

Focus a lot of your time learning and reading about Poker Theory.

books , videos , hands evaluation, psihology etc.

for a true small stakes beginner i think you should start with the Theory of Poker. Read it and re-read it, then read it again.
Its not a very accessible or fun book to read so you could probably just go into the Harrington on Hold'em series, but i might skip the workbook. The hand examples are a bit dated, but its still, IMO, required reading. If nothing else the HonH series will give you a nice insight to the way TAGs think and a useful defualt setting. You can probably play "by the book" at micros and steadily increase your roll till your playing bigger games.

Mainly i think you want to focus on books that talk about BIG BROAD STOKE CONCEPTS like Q and M and EV and the FTOP, hand equity, race odds, etc.. while your away from the game. If you read books about this or that specific strategy or taking one line over another in a hand you may well forget ALL of it by the time you sit down and play. But concepts such as Q, M, EV, FTOP, etc..will be with you forever. I would take this chance to learn everything you can about the mathematics and theory. The metagame changes, playing this range or that range is game dependant, but the math won't change. Q will still be Q once you leave the military and the way you figure your EV is gonna be the same two years from now as it was 100 years ago.
The Theory of Poker
The Harrington series (volume one and two esp)
Maybe something by Mike Caro too, he always talks in generalities, its annoying to me but i'm not gonna be away from the game for two years.
Good Luck!

Why do you think you will not be able to play in the military? I have been in for almost 20 years and will tell you that I have played a lot of poker in the military. I am in the Navy, but even if you are in the Army or Marines, you can get stationed at a place that has a casino near by. Here in Washington State there is a 4/8 game at every bowling alley and casino in the area.

I would recommend "Small Stakes Holdem" I played poker most of my life and this book was an eye opener. It no kidding gives you a cookbook way to beat the 4/8 game here in Washington State!!! Good luck in the Military, it has been an awesome journey that I am glad is over...
