Training videos ain't no

Training videos ain't no movies. You should not watch them but work with them. Did you work them trough? Usually "watching" a video once will not allow one to get most out of it.What did you learn from the videos? Did you learn what you should do in situation X or did you inherite what you shall do for what reason?If you think that the theory part is over all ready, get out there, play some matches and do the session analysis afterwards. If during the session review / analysis you notice leaks or you are unable to conculed if a hand was played correct or not, start to get the tools (=knowledge) to change this situation.
