Re: what good does it do me to learn specific hands?

The great thing about reading the hand posts is that you can try and decide what you would have done in the situation and what you might have done differently. You can then compare your thoughts with those of the other players - and if yours is way out of line, then you know that there is something you need to learn.

Also, the more hands you respond to the quicker you will be able to make the correct decision at the table. When Sklansky talks about thinking away from the table this is one of the types of things he's talking about. By trying to work through different situations ahead of time you will be much better off when playing. It's kind of like doing your homework or studying before a test. If you never did similar problems you'd probably fail the test.
Also, you don't have to actually post a response to the hands. Many times I just read the hand and decide what I would do. Then I read the responses and if I have something to add I will post otherwise not.
