Hi all,
I am looking for some advice on studying and my poker journey going forward. My goal is to get a side income from poker, not to become a (fulltime) pro as I am happy within my field of study (end stages of college) and beyond.

As for background: I started playing poker a couple of years ago, taking it more seriously since beginning of last year (starting BR of 750). As I also (used to) do +EV sports/casino betting and I mostly play poker on the same (untracked sites), the specific breakdown of my BR is tricky. I am at around 5.5k-6k overall, of which probably around half from poker (so 750 to 2.5-3k in a year roughly). Currently playing MTTs with avg BI of around 10 dollars, including a lot of sattelites as I like the format. Don’t have a large enough sample size anyway I think, so it is more to give a general idea.

Mostly looking to improve my postflop play as I think that is by far my biggest leak. My thinking is to get a good GTO postlfop basis and learn more about the exploitative adjustments I should make in the playerpools I am playing. Given my satty liking, that is like 5 dollar to 1k buyins.

As for what I am doing now:
I subscribed to the DTO poker app and try to play some hands every day, aside from that I am looking at (mostly Youtube) training videos, focusing on fundamentals and exploitative play. I also try to improve my preflop game in Snapshove/HRC. Going forward I will save/document my most interesting hands and analyze them in either HRC for preflop or something like equilab to determine postflop decisions, including posting some more on 2+2. I also posted in the studygroup thread to start/join a studygroup as for now it has been mostly me alone at it.

I think I have a comprehensive game plan going forward, but I look for some input mostly for postflop studying. I don’t want to focus purely on DTO, given that GTO style play is not everything. Sorry for the rambling but felt like a more complete story was in order. Hope you guys have some recommendations on good content/books/software in that regard. Also feel free to comment with other suggestions you have based on my story, much appreciated! If you want to join the studygroup/have a studygroup I can join just comment/pm me.

Thx a lot in advance!
