How many hours a day you was allowing to PIO when you was upcoming like from nl200 to 500 - 1Knl?

When I was coming up I was actually working quite a lot manually on top of pio stuff. It's way better to also try to do for example manual calldown range with flopzilla and then compare that to piosolver results. This way the stuff you do sticks way better with you and you get a good feedback on what type of stuff you are visualizing incorrectly.
Back at smallstakes/early midstakes I used to do few boards like this per day. Like try to do BB def calldown on certain flop and few turns and rivers and then compare that to solver output. I'd guess I've probably averaged like 1hour study per day over my entire career, maybe at ss/ms days I studied bit more. I always liked more just looking few spots a day instead of entering proper studying binges.

What separates best chess players from the rest? They are just slightly better at everything. Actually known linus for years and talked decent amount of strat with him, and he just seems to have a knack for poker. It's not like he has figured out some special stuff that no one else has, he just seems to be a bit better at everything than everyone else.

Drop the focking ego and constantly evaluate your game as objectively as possible. Don't spend all your energy trying to justify a play that is bad. I know some players from ss-ms days that had big problems with this. Don't be afraid to make and admit mistakes. Maybe this is more a problem for smallstakes players tho.
