Would you agree that the 10% of players that are winning players tend to spend time educating themselves and visit forums read books and regularly contribute to discussions like this. Do you understand that you came to a forum with less than .01% of all poker players and a large supply of professional players actually making a living playing this game. The 90% that you think you are better than will never come to a poker forum or read a poker book so I don't see why you would think you have something to offer as opposed to learn from FTR. It's good that you learned about 2+2 though.
