lol isnt the point of an internship to learn?

Best place to learn is right next to someone. There are significant communication barriers in remote working. Sure they can be mitigated but presence and a piece of paper is not to be underestimated.

If you can intern remotely just get a job as you would have to be capable.

Brunson will cost you a lot of money now. Sklanskys theory of poker is WAY too tight and conservative (Note you havent seen him on any tv shows playing or in any tournaments for ages). Ed miller for limit is good but you will get so bored playing it. Tournament is fun but you need a gigantic bankroll to play games with people who can play ... The theory of poker evolved a lot since those books and is now about hand ranges based on prior action and stats you have collected (Well it hasn;t but the way it is expressed has and the language to talk about it has developed massively). Brunson, miller and sklansky never get into how you use software to systematically destroy people (because they were live players). The best advice is to visit two plus two forums and start reading there. Its better than any book - and i know i have bought and read a lot. Brunson, sklansky et all (ie 10 years old+) hurt my game. Assuming you intent to be someone who makes money and not gamble. Especially if you are playing at micro stakes (0.1-0.25 and under). the TAG style is good to learn but after 20k hands at 4 tables you will be bored - especially full tabling. Also tournaments vs cash game are entirley different games. In tournaments you have to play sometimes beacuse of the blinds, in cash games the value of deception and lying in wait is much higher. In a tournament due to blinds vs stack size you often have no choice at all - well you do but only 1 correct play. In cash you can be a lot more patient. Also be aware that you need 20k+ hands before you can draw any conclusions about your play (assuming you didn't just go broke - but even then doesn;t mean you played bad)
