I'd just like to get some thoughts on what would be an effective way to split spare time between studying and improving vs practising at the tables, just as a percentage like 60% -40% or something, because I don't really have any idea how to balance the two.
Thanks.
when you are a beginner study 80% of the time and play 20%
increase the playing all the time as you get better till you play 80% of the time and learn %20.

My suggestion for beginners is always to take the NL Beginner's course.
For each topic in the course, do the course work, then play to gain practice in that topic.
I don't know that I would do hard-and-fast time splits.
When I took the course, some days I didn't play, some days the course part went quickly, and I had more time to play.
I recently started learning and realized quickly that I would benefit a lot more reading and studying than playing. I've pretty much solely been reading and studying for about a month now.
I'm about to start playing and will change to 2:1 playing to learning/studyign ratio.

Well, be sure to get your $50 starting capital.
When you get down to planning your study, you might want to have a look at The quick guide to skyrocketing your (poker) productivity
There is a lot of material in there, but worth more than a read.
Take each section and put it into action.
Good Luck !

Hey everyone!
For a beginner it's better to study more then to play, but in the end most beginners play more then they study, including myself.
I do like the idea of the 60% - 40% ratio! study - play.

Start a day with coaching video or few articles, and play the rest of the day.
If you run bad and feel tilted watch another video.
Do session reviews every 2-3 days.
