I`ve been taking poker more seriously over the last 2 years, and would say i`m a upper average/good 1/2 NLHE player. I`ve never actually "studied" poker and was wondering where to begin doing so. Books? Training sites? I think it`s too early for a coach, but where do you suggest I start studying, and how would I go about it?

Are you talking about live or online.

I mostly play live poker, but am starting to play online more because I feel like it`s a good way to see a lot of hands. So I guess both, I think i`ll always play more live poker because I like the interaction that goes with it.

Hands that you played or observed. Record them in as much detail as possible, as soon after the hand, then analyze them in depth and once you have spent a significant amount of time going over each decision and considering the merits or demerits of each course of action from every participant get the opinions of others. You should also spend a significant amount of time thinking about poker, the decisions you made, the sessions you had, and every aspect of the game.
It's far better to develop your own ideosyncratic approach than to mindlessly ape others.
