When I first joined this forum, I asked for links to some of the 'classic' MTT posts. I got referred to a lot of excellent posts, and since I've been here, I've seen a lot more. I've benefited a lot from the gems of wisdom that have appeared in this forum, and I'd like to give something back, but I'm just not a good enough player to produce such a gem on my own. So I thought it might be helpful to others who are new here if I collected some of the posts I found most helpful in one place. A couple of caveats:
1. THIS IS NOT OBVIOUSLY NOT EXHAUSTIVE! I haven't been here long, so I'm sure there are plenty of excellent posts I don't know about and haven't included here. I hope people will reply to this post with their favorites, and help me and others find these pearls.
2. Don't be offended if you aren't on here. See above. I know there are some excellent players and posters on this forum who aren't represented. That just means I haven't been lucky enough to come across one of your great posts yet. Instead of getting angry, please refer me to them.
3. I know Jurollo has talked about having the mods collect and organize the best posts to come out of this forum, and when they do, I'm sure their collection will be much better than mine. But in the meantime, here are my favorites:
