Well...
Aren't you still a student? How long have you been playing poker? No - wait - lemme rephrase: How long COULD you have been playing poker? Having a good understanding of the game and being a winning player is one thing. Being able to write advanced concepts of the game (and be confident in that writing) is another thing. [Corollary: How long did it take Hellmuth to finally come out w/ a book?] I can understand you're teaching some people - and that's good for the game - but I just question your ability level w/ you only being in the game say 6 yrs? (And that's being generous... it's probably more like 2.) That being said, I don't want to alienate myself from the group because I still want to see your intermediate and advanced writings. I guess I can just read and see for myself.

That's right Lou,
The proof will be in the pudding. I had a preliminary glance at your basic stuff and was focusing mainly on your writing style, which is...ok. It reads very much like a narrative rather than an instructional piece - lots of excess, unnecessary sections that can (and probably should) be streamlined to make the piece of writing more accessible. New players really like to see hard, focused points - your article was just way too long. You could cover the same amount of instruction in half (or less) words. I only had a quick glance at it though. When I get a chance, I'll sit down and read the entire document start to finish. Look forward to seeing your intermediate and advanced stuff - I'm sure you'll be a valuable contributor to any poker forum. CF |

Though we've had some clashes in other topics, i appreciate you reading my stuff and commenting CF. I know the stuff I wrote was kind of loose, thats why I posted it here; for people to tell me whats wrong with it. Any specific sections that you think I could improve? Any tips on how?
I'll let you guys know when i finish the next part, which is about intermediate play. thanks -jB |
