Teaching is really a good way to reinforce what you already know.
 
I recently was teaching my nephew how to play poker. I thought it would be a good way to help him with his math (yes he is a minor) (and yes it did help him with his math).
 
I taught him some basics and gave him 2 books to read, Sklansky's Theory of Poker and Sklansky's Small Stakes Hold Em.
 
I let him watch me play some first and made sure he knew what the outs and odds were before I let him play.
 
His first game / lesson "The Importance of Tightness".
Put him in a $2 beginner SnG and said we are not going to play ANY hands and lets see if we make it to the $$$.
( it doesnt get tighter than that)
For those who dont know these beginner SnGs pay top 5 out of 10.
Sure enough players killed each other off and we made it to the $$$ without playing a hand.
 
Every game after I opened him up to more and more hands that he could play.
 
This really helped me see the importance of tightness for myself as well. Especially in ring games where I dont have to worry about blinds eating up.
