How does this man still have a red box for rep?

That's how winners play; we convince the other guy he's making all the right moves.

philly's threads added. ty sir. i originally intended to include all the NLHE T+P study group things in a section of their own in the OP, but forgot. i'll hunt them out and edit them in sometime when i don't have exams within 24 hours that i have barely studied for (and for which i didnt attend the semester's lectures). no prizes for guessing which hobby of mine took that study time away from uni. it definitely wasn't guitar.

Holy Fuck! That's a lot of seriously good content. Awesome stuff rpm! I'd forgotten about so many of those. We have some brilliant players here with a real knack for explaining things. If it wasn't for those posts I'd prob still be losing at 2nl rather than losing at 25nl & 50nl.

i lied.
M2M's original blog added and thread bumped as a result. i mean, let's face it, he went from 2nl to 200nl in ~24.3 seconds. if you want to see how progress occurs in poker, it's in that thread.

Yeah, I keep forgetting what's in this thread and the title always makes me think what follows is something like "FTR threads... suck balls and this is why" instead of the awesomeness it actually contains.

Stickied for now. I don't want to digest this, but I think the digest and this one may need to be merged somehow. Not the mod here so we will figure something out. RPM did the work so I'd hate to just take all those threads and move them to a dos digest without him getting something for the work

don't worry about that. do whatever works best for the forum. it's not like i can claim any authorship over any of the epic strategy content anyway. so realistically, i did a very small % of the work .
though i pledge i will one day say something that is both A) poker strategy-related and, B) good.
