Something about how maximizing value is prime goal of poker, not making fancy plays, or attaining 5th level metagame unnecessarily.
I don't think we need to find more and more specialized subjects for the COTW, and do believe that at this point adding articles on fundamental subjects would be beneficial - this is still uNL after all. As such I'm generally in support of the idea.
Are you interested in writing it? Can you refine the idea any more so I can put it on the schedule? Feel free to follow up in PM.

seems i am doing lately and do not even know that i am doing it
i think it can be usefull as of NL25 upwards.
This is a pretty specialized topic, and a pretty broad one too. Could be tough to write, but if others are interested it could be good.

I suppose I'm a prime candidate for authoring this one, as I'm pretty sure I'm one of the few folks in these parts who doesn't think balancing your range in the micros is, well, pointless. I could call it "How to be 0EV like me!"
I would like some more opinions on this subject, and if anyone else is interested in writing it.

OK, another vote.

Yeah, zachvac wants to do it too, but we're still hashing out the details of what exactly the topic is. Once we have the boundaries of the concept nailed down I'll post a title.

Are you guys thinking more "how to polarize your range", or "how to identify and play against polarized ranges"? Or both?
Do I see any hands for authoring it?
OK, as of right now the schedule is firm through April 19th. You might see things shifting around a bit after that as these ideas gets solidified. We are always looking for ideas and authors!
