Message Board : Improve your game

Hi Ed,

When you play sports at a certain level, for example tennis, you have to practice a lot to stay at a certain level or improve. If you don’t play tennis for a month your level of play has decreased.

Assuming I am an average to good poker player with an average learning capacity and I want to become a better poker player how much hours, live and/or online, do I need to play to stay at my level and how much to improve? When will I play to few hours and become worse?
