LOL. This statement is funny but so true. Bulletin board material in fact.

Anyway, I've read your entire post and agree with pretty much all of it. The charts you provided on c-betting should help any beginner with their post-flop betting. And the links you've provided along the way to 'add' to this guide are a nice and needful touch.

I swear this guide is how I 'learned' poker, almost in this exact order. It's great for higher level players too because we overlook the 'basics and fundamentals' at times, especially when on a losing streak or tilting.

Only thing I sorta' disagree with is that some beginners, and I mean someone who has been playing poker for less than a year or having trouble even breaking even, might need to focus on these steps for more than a 1,000 hands for each of your increments of strategy.

I also think that 'Hands 3,000 to 4,000: Read and Profiles' should be learned simultaneously with c-betting so you're not just winging it. But that's just me, so whatever. Other than that, yeah, it's a damn solid guide for 10NL.

Hell, I may have to re-read it and implement it since I may need to withdrawal a large chunk of my bankroll to pay for my new house. Cross your fingers and wish me luck.
