Before rushing to FTR and posting your handhistories, try to evaluate your own play. There is a limit to how much you can learn just by listening the "right move" on every street. you must understand the reasonings behind people's advice to become a better player. Sure you can keep eating the fish we serve, but one day you will have to learn to fish your self.

See what you could have done diffrently to maximize your winnings when you have the better hand, but minimize the loss when you have the worse hand. now that you know the results (that is if you went to a showdown) recreate the hand and see how your new approach will make others do.

list the pros and cons of every factor such as these:

Bet/raises:
Does this make it incorrect for them to chase?
Would a worse hand call?
Would the bet be called by a better hand?

Calls:
Do I have enough pot odds?
how about implied odds?
How often will I have the best hand?

Check(call)-raise:
How aggresive is this table?
how about specific players left to act behind you?
will my checkraise pot commit them enough so they can't get away?
will it scare off worse hands incomparison to when I have just bet?
How likely is it that a freecard will give them a better hand?
is the risk worth it?

etc.. we are always happy to share out 2 cents but why should we do that when you aren't even offering us a cent?

i'll try to post hands with my own analysis first and try and make an informed comment about what i think i should have done differently, or what i think the person may have had etc, plus my reasoning - is that fair ?

I'll also try and comment on other people's posts, i've just been weary of that as i'm still learning - or would you encourage that so someone could argue my point if they have good reason to do so?
