John, I'm sorry if I've offended you in some way.

I've been a winning recreational player for decades, but my win rates and stakes are modest. I have no doubt you are a better poker player than I am.
I didn't know that you often coached those stakes, but now that I do, I am sure that you are the person who knows better than I do here.

My questions are sincere, and when I tell you how I'm thinking I'm well aware that I could have misconceptions, which I invite you to puncture.

I am thoroughly confused by your latest response.

My understanding was that you were asserting the value of betting the flop - even if way behind most combos in the narrow range we had given to the villain for argument's sake - for the sake of balancing our lines.

Maybe I misunderstood.

I said I didn't see post-flop balance as a major reason to bet the flop if we think we are usually WB, although line balancing is not entirely without value at this stake.

Your latest response is written as though exactly the opposite was true. As though I was asserting the importance of post-flop balance, or suggesting that most players at this level have well-balanced lines post-flop.

We seem to have managed the difficult and unpleasant trick of arguing about something we both agree on, unless I am misunderstanding your most recent response entirely.
