1. BBV isn't why people are thanking 2+2, so don't let that confuse you. It is all the strategy related forums. Posts of people explaining how they would play hands. Not posts about who barfed at what party or what girl looks hot or not. BBV has nothing of real substance to offer ( generally speaking). BBV is just a place for you to get flamed or to complain and then get flamed for complaining. LOL! So don't waste your time there!

2. Use the strat related forums for the type and level of poker you are playing. You can read comments on hands and related strategies involing those hands or you can post your own. If you play a hand and wonder what you did wrong or right just copy it and convert it and then share it in a forum for feedback. It is the best way to review how you played a hand or hands.

3. This is a great resource for finding out what books to read or what poker software to use and how to use it.

4. It is a place where you can share you poker experiences and make friends with people who understand what you are going through as a poker player. There are a lot of veteran players who have a wealth of knowledge to share for how to handle the stress and the highs and lows of poker. This place can act as a poker support group.

5. There is News on poker related events and topics to get caught up on what is going on.

6. The Beginners forum is so great for asking all the questions you are afraid to ask anywhere else because you think everyone will think you are stupid. People are much more helpful and go out of their way to give you the best answers they can.

When you are playing and think of a question... make sure you post it here and get feedback. That is basically what 2+2 is for in a nutshell. A place where you can ask a BUNCH of poker players what they think and then you sort out what to use and what to disregard.
