wise words again...
depends on the motivation of players I guess
I think that the major micro-leak is playing too loose pre-flop
The nitty suggestion is mostly about learning some poker discipline, and learning to beat the micros.
People should be able to learn to loosen up/play some post-flop poker during the course of moving up. Wow, I've reached 50nl, maybe I'll read about 3-betting. Hmm, seems that I can 3-bet wide from the button. Interesting, wonder what happens if I thrown in the occasionaly 3-bet from the big blind. Hey, when I 3-bet people and then c-bet an ace high flop, people fold! maybe I should c-bet even when I don't hit!
etc...
I'm not sure, but that seems to be how my game has evolved. Right now I'm doing a spoon and moving down to apply some new tools to my game, risk minimisation etc. Then again, I haven't tried to move beyone 200nl yet! not sure if I want to for a while either...
