Hi,
There is so much information about learning poker on the internet that its difficult to not waste a lot of time sifting through poor quality videos or finding an article that looks useful, only to find out it so basic it contains nothing you haven't read 5 times somewhere else already. But the largest problem I'm facing is a lack of STRUCTURE.
I was wondering if anyone knew of a syllabus for learning online poker that someone had put together with free, online resources (or even books one has to buy) that is useful in 2017.
In particular as I have no coach or teacher, its difficult to know WHAT topics are most fundamental and in what particular order I should study them so that each topic builds on and refines the last.
So far I've read Harrington On Online Cash Games to get some fundamentals, though even a lot of this basic book seems kind of dated (especially for example in its advice on how to handle 3bets...it was written when people in the micros 3bet much less I suppose and as a result it seems dealing with 3bets, knowing when to 4bet is much more complex now).
I also read Ed Miller's "Playing the Player" though this seems very oriented to exploiting the way live low stakes players play.
I've been watching in no particular order: SplitSuit videos, Jonathan Little hand review videos, and some others, as well as reading the free articles on Upswing Poker which actually seem good in that they get a bit deeper than most short, online articles. Related to that, I just found this book from like 2008 Ryan Fee wrote called "6Max NL Strategy Guide" and was wondering if anyone on here had read it and felt it was still useful for today's games

It looks well organized and like it will go into more intricate detail than the Harrington Book so will probably read it.
I'm probably wrong, but my plan has been to focus on mastering things in this order:
1) Preflop play
2) Ranges and board texture analysis
3) Exploitative Strategies
4) Betting an Bet Sizing
5) 3 and 4 Betting
6) Playing from the Blinds
Obviously I'm moving around from topic to topic but trying to master these topics in this order as it seems logical to me.
Any advice on how to STRUCTURE my study would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
