Message: [QUOTE="Joe, post: 7026585, member: 193663"] You're doing great, and don't worry about it at all- it's a learning curve that we've all been through... :giggle: (y) Poker is similar to life in many ways, and in this moment the parrallel (or similarity) that pops to mind for me is [I]the devil is in the details[/I]... :LOL: You don't have to go overboard (like in the way that I demonstrably and [I]regularly[/I] fail to resist doing :ROFLMAO:), but in order to have a [B]really[/B] productive discussion about a specific poker hand or decision, the bare minimum required is the lay of the land on your table at that given point in time, so- What is the current level/blinds? How many players are at the table? What are the stack sizes and positions? What action has there been? Who is still left to act? All of the above can be captured in one screenshot of the table, which is quick and convenient. Further information is great too (albeit not essential), for example if you have any history on the villains or have noticed any tendencies or play styles at the table. Basically anything that can give an understanding as to what the precise situation was like ( no two are [I]exactly[/I] alike ;) ). An analogy sprung to mind... On my way out the door I call over to you 'Hey Pabetv I'm heading out and am going to pick up some dinner for us both. On my route I'm going past [I]two[/I] restaurants. The first is an interesting cuisine, it's quite reasonably priced, they have four options on the main menu and a handful of desserts you can choose from. The second place does a kind of obscure and exotic food but it's a bit more expensive. At that place you can choose from; 5 starters, 10 main courses and 3 desserts...' 'Sooooo, which place do you want food from and what's your order? Tell me now and I'll bring it back for you' :giggle: [/QUOTE]
