I don't know of it is a bad move or what not, but I have yet to read a poker book. I thought maybe I would get my own take on the game and then once I found flaws, maybe I would read a book geared towards that. Then again, maybe I should just try to absorb knowledge.

I don't play the numbers game yet really either, except I really took to TP's continuation bet numbers. I think it wouldnt hurt at all to know these.

Is there anyone who found a book messed them up at all? Is there anyone who held out for a while before reading and wished they hadn't?

Is there anyone who thinks I should drop the learning by experience and pack someone elses experience in to save time?

It depends why you're playing poker. If poker is a hobby, and you're having fun (and you still manage to pull out a win every month or so), then who cares? Really.

If you're playing to seriously get better and possibly build a large bankroll and get to the "next level," then I think you're doing yourself a huge disservice.

IMO.
