This is my first thread although i have been visiting the site for three to four months. I don't know if the answer is out there already or not and i'm missing it, but would anyone have any idea of how many people in the online or b&m sites have done the research that is preached about here. As far as the poker community goes, how many are reading the books, visiting the sites, getting the knowledge. I've just about finished SSH and have been to this and other sites since i got involved four months ago, and am now just going to make my first deposit at party poker. Am i just another fish coming in who thinks he might know a thing or two, or would I be considered a top 5%, 15% or 50% that has done the homework. I know this has nothing to do with the skill, or winning but how many have the "book smarts" at this time. thanks.
