Good stuff there. Especially for limit players like I am. I know there's alot of you folks that have been reading it regularly, but I'd like to point it out for those that are newer here like me or have just missed it.
I had a rough session last night and was a bit down so as usual I look for something to read for positive reinforcement and also to pick up on some things I may have been overlooking. I love to read about poker. Not much of a writer for strategy, but I can read it all day long. I just spent the last hour reading through alot of Fredrik's strategy posts and my mind is back on track. Great stuff FP you have that Ed Miller way of explaining things...
