Welcome to the SSNL Master Sticky. One sticky to rule them all.
SSNL is officially the highest-traffic strategy forum on all of 2p2! We have a lot of great posters here and they contribute a lot to the forum that everyone should know about. If we just stickied these things as they happen, like most strat forums, we would have 12 stickies.
This thread was created to be a master sticky. It will have links to our FAQ, the previous digests, essays and other works by our posters.
All posters need to read the Posting Guidelines and the FAQ at the minumum, but you really should read everything here. It will make you a better player & a better poster.

Pooh-Bah Posts & PSAs:
A Pooh-Bah post is a kind of essay on a focused strategy topic. Traditionally it's written by a poster who has transitioned up the learning curve a good ways by participating on the (strat) forums, building strategy conversations and playing a lot. They have learned most of the basics (which was harder than they imagined when they first started up the curve) and many of the advanced topics. Usually they write this essay around the time when they reach 1600 posts; which is the point where thier title is changed from 'veteran' to 'Pooh-Bah', hence the name.
A PSA is a 'Public Service Announcement' and is similar to a PB post, but it might not be strictly about hand strategy. It could be a broader topic (such as bankkroll or tilt control), or about contributing to the board. These will go here too.
