Re: Real interesting question

Reading a book "a bunch of times" is not likely to award you a deep theoretical understanding of the game (or anything for that matter). You need to be thinking critically about poker, as Jerrod pointed out. Theory of Poker suggests where you may want to focus your thoughts, but just rereading and memorizing the book will probably do very little for you. Playing multiple games gives you a different experience and can have a profound impact on the way you think about poker as well.

I think you're right. I guess I'm trying to be lazy and sidestep a possibly vital aspect of becoming a real good no limit player. I still want to build a roll playing no limit though, and then divulge into other games to get better at poker. I just thought of a great argument for your case- Far and away best NLHE player ever, Stu Ungar. Guy played every card game known to man (at a high level, including many forms of poker) before he started playing No-limit,( and i think it really helped him with card sense.
