Thank you very much,

Even though AE barely plays poker now and rarely visits the forums, many people on this site need to see this. Thanks Aaron. Hope FLA is great right now.

Great post, your a very very good writer. Opened my eyes very wide. Cheers!

For me there was a milestone of learning to play outside how books, even well known good books, tell you to play. Books are great, don't get me wrong, but even when they give context, the full context is never there.

I think the other milestone for me was when I learned that I became a much better play, IRL (still struggling online) when I observed my opponents in every hand (unless I was eating pizza or f'ing with my ipod) and always try to put people on hands.

I am very proud of how far I've come in brick and morter type of cash/tournaments. Again, online I still have a ways to go... But I also think online players, in general, are tougher because of aggression and things like HUDS. Another tangent but I think playing online definitely has improved my game just by the shear number of hands I've seen. I finally recently bought a hud and my 30 day history had over 10k hands. I was shocked I had played that much... I may have not seen 10k hands in one year this past year IRL setting.

Anyways, great read!

...people are critiquing you on punctuation?? I'm not sure "what" your message was because I couldn't get past the cheap shot you took at Kathy Liebert. Half witted accountant with a weight problem? Are you kidding me??? She must have beat your ass pretty bad at the table for you to think she deserves that kind of attack.

I see a very intelligent and talented woman. She brightens the room like no one else when she enters but when I see her smile...she has my heart!
She's the total package in my eyes so watch your P&Q's
