It was my third time playing holdem. I drove an hour and a half up the mountain to the casino in Blackhawk, CO to play some 2/5. An old guy sitting to my left, clearly sensing I was frustrated and entirely out of my element leaned over and whispered, "If you were him, and you just did that, what would you be holding? If you keep asking yourself that question and keep trying to answer it you'll get the hang of this in no time."

Not because the advice itself was some golden nugget but because it sparked me to begin "thinking" about the game rather than just playing it.
