Just started playing again after taking some time off poker. Back then I spent a little bit too much time reading this forum, and kept a record of what I liked. Amazingly I still had the file! I think I posted it earlier, but searches yielded no results. Figured I might as well put it up here again. Hope it can be of some use.
