Very cool. Didn't see Ng's there but nice to see Raymer was active back then. There's so much donk advice there too. A couple gems:




Play
- Big pairs
- Suited blackjacks
- Big suited connectors
Anytime, and
- Offsuit blackjacks
- Big connectors
- Small pairs (flop set)
Unless raised or less than 4 opponents

Evaluate your play by keeping accurate records of wins/losses + amount of hours.
Don't blame bad luck for losses... Blame bad play - then change it.

Interesting side note... maybe that email still works for her.

Be sure your poker bankroll is expendible income.
It is difficult to play when you are using the grocery money.

On the first round of betting, on average, fold 85% of your hands.
Thus, play only the best 15% of hands dealt to you.
