Back in the kiddie pool (possible NC)

[BWebb]

It's been awhile since I've played, talked about or read about poker. About six months ago I was playing semi-regularly and doing very well at low limits. I eventually hit a downswing and didn't want to see all the money I had won over the previous months disappear, so I cashed out and haven't really played since (maybe once every two months). Well, I'm ready to start playing again. However, I decided I'm not going to start playing right away. I'm going to spend a month (maybe more) reading my books and participating in this forum. Then, when I feel I'm focused again, I will play. When it comes to this forum, I made a few ground rules to for me to follow to make sure my participation is productive. They are:

1) I will NOT avoid posting responses in tough hands, hands where it is very possible my opinion will be wrong.
2) I will develop my own ideas and responsed to a hand before reading other responses.
3) I will NOT change my mind simply because a 'famous' poster doesn't have the same opinion as mine (I see this a lot on the forums).
4) I will change my mind if I believe I have been proven wrong.
5) I will give detailed responses with reasoning, not "easy fold" and "its not close".

That's it, see you around the forum.
