Newbies should simply read the forum. Too many people are looking for the quick and easy answers and there really aren't easy answers in NL, except fold pre-flop.

I have been lurking for the past six months, and have learned a lot. Over that period of time, several posters have referenced Aleo’s guide, Shadow posted his links. If new members would read the forum for a few weeks to a month before posting, they would be able frame their question much better that would offer a lot more help than “How did I play this?”

I wish I had the time to more actively participate in the forum, but fortunately, I have a job and a family. As I told Scuba, I have basically posted vicariously through him. I do feel that I have taken advantage of the forum by reading posts and not contributing, but that should change as I now feel I will be able to make a +EV contribution.

I'm not sure it's possible to do a worse job ignoring him than you have.

How does 'fucker' not get censored?

I think Citanul turned green like Dynasty, wacki, etc and used his moderator powers to disable the censor.

He then used his powers to not display his name in green, so nobody knows he's the new STT moderator.

From a completely selfish point of view, this could be great. Newbie could come to the forum, get their happy meal full of McPokerKnowledge, and proceed to beat the crap out of the 11s and 22s. They'd then move up to where I'm playing and provide me with some nice, predictable (i.e., exploitable) fishes.
