Not always as easy done as said, but just spending time thinking about these things could improve your lowstakes game as well as preparing you for higher stakes.
I agree. I have often sat there looking at one of ISF's terse replies about a HH thinking, WTF?? After a few minutes of thought, I'm generally able to follow the breadcrumbs to a conclusion. If he's commenting on a NL200 hand, it doesn't often directly translate into how I should play NL10. But it has never failed to help my game (and how I think about it) when I took the time to follow his logic.
Maybe it's arrogant of me, a near-noobie microstakes (winning!) donk to do this. But I have a ranking system for frequent FTR contributors that goes something like this:
1. Ignore
2. Skim
3. Read 1st paragraph thoroughly; if coherent, continue
4. Read thoroughly every time, and
5. Read thoroughly every time and think about post for a few minutes
LoL. I'm not divulging who I put in which categories. Suffice it to say ISF has been in category #5 since December, and I only got active in FTR forums in October. I would read every post from a douche (ISF's definitely not one) if he consistently gave good advice.
