agreed.

FWIW ive always learnt more by replying to other peoples posts rather than just posting my own. Also the times ive been wrong are often the times ive learnt the most...so dont be afraid to be wrong! Be humble and willing to accept constructive criticism and dont be afraid to ask WHY someone said "bet/fold" or some other similar one liner. In the micros many experienced posters may give short responses but if you show a willingness to learn and ask questions they often will expand their answers. This is one of the reasons why people who area actively involved in the strat forums usually learn quicker than lurkers.

And like Ozi said, be humble. Many people post hands and just want confirmation that what they did was correct. They are not open to critical analysis and end up arguing. These type of players will never improve. Even when you disagree be open minded to other viewpoints. It can help you at the tables by having an idea how other players may be thinking.

If you are fairly new to poker, you may not be confident posting your opinions on hands in the strategy forum. However, a good thing to do is read new posted hands and type a "reply" into word for your own use. Once people have given their opinions compare that to your own. Then decide whether your "reply" still stands in your opinion. It is a good learning tool.

After a while post your opinions and join in fully.

Good luck
