Today I want to share my simple 4-step system for improving your postflop play faster with DTO Tournament.

Let's dive in...

Consistency is key

Consistency is the key to building healthy habits and routines.

When you consistently engage in positive behaviour such as:

> Healthy eating

> Regular exercise

> Working on your poker game

It becomes a habit that becomes ingrained in your daily routine.

Consistency is so powerful that it will have a hugely positive impact on your poker game.

It requires commitment, discipline and perseverance, but the results are well worth it.

Drill 25 hands every day for 30 days.

That's my 25 for 30 system and it really is that simple.

And yet the consistency of this kind of practice will improve your postflop strategy so much that you'll get to the end of the month and wonder why you never did something like this before.

Here's the system, step-by-step.

Step 1: Choose a spot

Which postflop spot do you suck at? What have you identified as a spot where you don't have a clear framework or gameplan for that situation?

Make sure it's a spot that happens frequently (so single raised pots rather than 4-bet pots).

Step 2: Drill 25 hands per day

Set aside some time on your calendar every day to drill 25 hands in your chosen spot.

Remember you're looking to build a consistent habit.

Commit to doing this for 30 days in a row.

Step 3: Review mistakes and blunders

Make sure you also set aside some time to review your mistakes and blunders.

At this stage, don't worry about inaccuracies - you have bigger fish to fry... so to speak.

Share hands with others and ask for feedback.

Try to work out why you made a mistake or blunder and why the solver wants to do something different.

Step 4: Use spaced repetition for faster progress

DTO uses the concept of spaced repetition to help you learn faster. Every mistake or blunder is added to a review list for you to go through the next day.

Spaced repetition is a learning strategy where you review material multiple times over time, with longer intervals between each review.

I recommend starting every training session by reviewing your mistakes and blunders.

If you've been using DTO for a while, you'll already have some hands ready for review. If you're new to the trainer, you'll see the option the day after your first training session.
