I will try to sumarize your post in 1 sentance:
"You should try to maximize profits on your hands."

All of this strikes me as painfully obvious. When someone bets 600 into a 4000 pot, it is because they feel that this bet will maximize their profits. Most of the time they bet small amounts because they think the opponent has nothing and thats all he will pay off with A high or whatever. I doubt that reading this will help them as much as making better reads etc.

The post was meant mainly for entertainment and self reflection purposes, not teaching purposes. I don't pretend to be a teacher or instructor. I am neither, and I don't think I would be good at either. I could sum up the entire game of poker to say:

"You should strive to make money"

and that doesn't mean we should throw out all poker texts does it?

I appreciate your feedback and I'm sorry you got nothing out of the post, but please don't over-generalize things.
