I believe one of the positive guarantees we have in life is that the more you learn, the more you earn because (at the very least) you have gained knowledge if not wisdom. I created the video below to give you a quick overview of the research studies which concluded that the act of writing (putting pen or pencil to paper) enhances the learning process – helps you think deeper and remember more. They are a few of the many reasons why I created the My Poker Game Journal and the Memorable Hands Poker Journal (available on Amazon). Watch the video to hear a summary of the research or click the links below to read it for yourself. Follow me here and/or subscribe to my poker vlog for more beginner poker tips.
