Going back to read some of Ed Miller's old posts and found this.

Excellent. Every novice 2+2'er should read.

Depends on what you mean by "novice." If you're talking about someone new to serious poker, I disagree. I read this about a month into my foray into on-line poker, tried to follow this advice, and got absolutely killed. This post (and the information contained herein) needs to be tempered with a solid background in the fundamentals (i.e., experience). Once I had several thousand hands (and 2 or 3 poker books) under my belt, it all started making sense, and I was able to apply it appropriately.

Don't get me wrong, it's good information. However, it's like trying to teach a kid to drive using a Ferrari -- it makes a lot more sense to teach 'em the basics in dad's Oldsmobile and then they can learn the Ferrari later. A little bit of knowledge can be a dangerous thing and I don't want the brand new folks to end up wrapped around a telephone pole. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
