In a more poker related test of knowledge, what would you suggest is best for advancing a player from these three stakes. $10NL, $100NL and $400NL and in what order. Pick a couple.
a) Peer study (MSN/AIM, ghosting discussion on skype/vent)
b) Coaching
c) self study (HM/PT3?Pokerstove)
d) SNHL forums (FTR, 2P2)
e) video training sites.
f) 100K hands (4 or less tables) not multitable grinding like a robot

This is a funny question for me to answer, mostly because of how I moved up the ranks. I was playing regularly at 100nl before I ever posted my first hand on FTR, and I was playing 400nl before I ever subscribed to CR or any other training site.
I remember after I first joined CR I started watching vids and some of the stuff actually got into my head and I started playing differently (worse even), than I had been previously. The most noticeable thing I remember at the time was watching vids saying that you shouldn't 3bet XY hands from the blinds (AJ for example), because the range that continues to your 3bet will dominate you. So that resulted in me playing waaay passive out of the blinds, worried that any 3bet would result in me being dominated. Just as an example of how some broad statements might influence your game significantly.
In any case, I'd say for sure moving up beyond 400nl would be coaching foremost if your progress is stalled, and discussing poker a lot, and reviewing hh's a lot (but I'd imagine most at that level do the last two anyhow).
Moving up beyond lower stakes, 10nl and even 100nl I'd say that playing a lot, and practice, just makes you better in general. Getting to the point where reviewing hh's is second nature, and is weird NOT reviewing them.
