does anyone actually study poker seriously while playing
Nah, the notebook/phone guy thing gets overrated sooo hard. Most of them are not “studying” anything, they’re writing little grudges and stack sizes like that’s gonna save em next orbit. I played a full ring omaha hi-lo game with one of those dudes, head down in notes all night, still kept punting half the pot spots because he was busy acting busy. Same energy as those casino review guys rating the carpet. When you say it, you talking live room phones-out nonsense or online where a HUD is actually doing work?
