I'm allowed to have my opinion, and as always I typically leave it up to the OP to get themselves into spots they are comfortable with.

i dont think anyone besides beginners has any interest in learning how to calculate SPR and calculating betting amounts to get all in before the river (i.e. doing math problems). seems like that is for the beginners forum.
Couldn't disagree with this more.
As I mention above (or is it in the other current similar thread, can't remember), a lot of the difference between long time losers versus long time winners is that losers constantly get themselves into difficult spots far more often. It's not that a lot of the winners are any better at these spots than the losers are; it's that they simply don't get themselves into the spots nearly as often as the losers do (and purposely plan their hand to avoid them).
You can approach poker however you want. But a lot of winners simply approach it from a very boring perspective. If you want fireworks plus winning, this hobby might not be for you.
