Thanks, Spoon! I've done the HW for lessons 1 - 6, and I'm totally like one of my whiny students at the university:

"The HW's really HARD."

"I'm too tired for this."

"My computer crashed and I just lost 40 minutes worth of analysis." (21st century version of "the dog ate my HW.")

"I have to make lots of assumptions - how do I know I'm right?"

I haven't troubled you with any whiny excuses, however, because each lesson really works wonders. I learn stuff, and it pays off the very next session I play.

I've been taking trouble spots and going through HH's on my op thread. Example, what do you do with 88/99 type hands in the BB when the BTN steals? We have a ton of equity, but flat it? 3bet? I found a representative hand vs. a villain that's reasonably typical. I ran through a full analysis as best I could, then tried to generalize. I've been getting through about one trouble spot per week.

I really appreciated your straightforward breakdown of course goals because it lets me know I'm on the right track with extra HW I've assigned myself.

Questions.

If we do a HH analysis that's not related to a specific lesson, where should we post it? Should we put it in the Beginner's Forum? The small stakes forum? Should we reference the NHLE Foundations course?

Would you like to see more of us putting up posts like this? I haven't seen many HH posts lately where the OP gives complete details about his thoughts for ranges on every street and EV calculations. (I also work on this stuff late at night, when too tired for actually playing, and I sometimes make embarrassing typos and even math mistakes.) But I would post things for people to look at, if you thought that would be good for a specific forum.

Thanks again for a free course with tons of valuable insights.
