Re: Steve Badger\'s advice
Surley Badger's advice must be taken probabilistically. I have played in deep stacked(200B+) games where such advice would apply at a given time. It might later not apply when certain players go on tilt. Really great hands in combination with bad players can render this advice moot. Position is merely one of the things which can affect the value of a hand.
It is not as applicable to typical online 6-max, but asserting your own postulate that "I can always play profitably out of postion" is just as bad as that which Badger did. Your position is merely "fittest" to the current form of the game. Beware such a position as in ten years it will be your name that will be posted and subject to villification.
In online 6-max there are not as many people to act after you and the magnitude of the consequences(decided by stack size) is not the same. Often online you may have a deep stack, but the majority of your opponents(as well as those of greatest consequence do not). Thinking that your own advice is that for the "normal" version of the game is a road to fallcay. The game changes, and the applicability of your advice will as well.
