　　One common trait amongst winning poker players, even the very elite, have is the fact they never stop learning or trying to improve as a player. The game of poker is one that is constantly evolving with new theories, concepts and moves coming out all the time and not trying to keep up with this will result in you becoming a break-even player at best.

　　Online poker players, particularly those who play no limit Texas Hold’em cash games have become much more proficient at the game in recent years, partly down to the passing of the UIGEA but also because of the popularity of the game has seen it on television, in the press and dozens of people releasing books and training videos showing the best ways to play a hand.

　　Books and strategy articles are a great way to learn new games and the basics of games, whether you are using them or not, but they are limited in that you can only learn about that particular hand in that exact situation, something that may never happen to you ever in your lifetime. There are so many variables in poker that discussing and reading hand histories can become futile as you move up in stakes.

　　Training videos for those who others are seen as the next step up from books, articles and magazines and are one of the best ways to improve as a player. If the video and commentary is done in real time as the action takes place then you will be able to get inside of the coaches thought processes and have some table dynamics to go with the actual hand. Ensure you do some research into the player on the video though as he may not actually be a winning player at your particular stakes.

　　Above all though is going out there and playing some poker. If you play online then make sure you use a tool such as Holdem Manager to store and tabulate your hand history files so you can review them at a later date and simply play plenty of hands and learn from experience. Dedicate at least 25% of your time to learning and improving and you should start to see almost immediate results.
