If you just read about a concept and then immediately apply it, you'll just be playing in this manner because someone said so, but you will not actually know why the heck you're doing it, which can cause problems.

@spoonitnow: You seem to know a lot about the different concepts about this game. I'd like to talk to you on the chat sometime and hear your thoughts. Your posts as very insightful. I'm not really a beginner, but I am definitely lacking in playing experience, in my opinion. I think I need to better understand game theory, mathematics, and ways to increase my real-time computation speed.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.
