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.

-how to analyze an all in.
-how to include bluffs in a range when analyzing an all in.
-Discussion on betsizing in relation to the size of the pot to offer poor implied odds (when you suspect villain is drawing)
-the power of position (why certain hands are more playable in certain positions)
-the main things to analyze in tracking software (and how to analyze) when looking to identify and fix leaks

I just jotted those down, not really sure if they are already there.....its been a bit since I was at the digest
I confess in quicksand

thread of the week from each of the main sections of the forum.

Like, typically there is one thread at least that has interesting/useful analysis and even decent thinking processes outlined. Any FR reg could pick the full ring thread, etc...

as examples from the last week or two:

plo - loads of good examples and some rationale and a useful link for the aspiring omaha junkie http://www.flopturnriver.com/pokerfo...ds-180091.html
6-max - how to post hand histories! plus some decent analysis QQ UTG in 3 bet pot on weird river.
FR - interesting hands, a dumb reg gives bad advice, then learns from better regs Flopped nutsx3

Spoon -- I think it'd probably be a great idea to link up all those 'poker exercise' threads you posted some time ago.

Can't stress enough how helpful those were to me. The one thing I would like to see -- obv not very likely given the work involved -- is a sort of 'solution' or 'example' for each of those posts. I remember going through them, writing out my answers in notepad and thinking I got the gist of things - but it would be nice to have some basis for comparison, other than that which came from others who are also trying to learn these concepts.

How about a basic article showing how playing your C game even 20% of the time can turn a winner into a big loser?

Or a good article on tilt and ways to counter it long term. Like the stuff we talked about meditation ect. (Which does help!)

If you play your C game 20% of the time and are -5 ptbb/100 and play your A game 80% of the time and are 1 ptbb/100 then you're a losing player. /thread

Meh, I know, read the post again... Anyhow don't worry about it, I'm thankful enough that the exercises are there to begin with. If it were up to me though I'd def include them in the BC digest. They're pretty much gold imo.
