[QUOTE="Poker Orifice, post: 5644798, member: 33113"]
I understand what you're saying but I think this is the very nature of so many poker players.  I have friends who I used to tell them about so many ways they could improve their game (I'd offer to lend them books (I had dozens of the best books available), suggest they join forums, play in certain games, etc. etc.  I think they believed they didn't need to get better... just luckier.  Even some of the ones who knew it'd make them a better player weren't interested (they didn't want to do the work).  When I started out, I appreciated any help I received and I WANTED to do the work....  I was growing tired of losing (albeit not very much) and after having had a small taste of what winning was, I wanted MORE of that & I was more than willing to do what it took so I could reap the rewards of my efforts.

This was many years ago & I grew lazy over the years but I am back at it again now!

Also, do you actually want all the players to read the material and 'get better at poker'?  Myself, I like helping out motivated newcomers but tbh, I don't really want the majority of players to get better at the game.  I want them to get good enough so that they want to play a lot more and want all of their friends to play too.. but that's about it. (Hey.. I'm being honest here.)
