This has been a great debate for me to read on this thread. I don't like considering myself a beginner because I've played poker for 5+ years, so I do have a generally good understanding of the game, but what I lacked was a deep understanding of the basic fundamentals that lead to winning poker. I either did not know them or just ignored applying them. This led to very mixed results. After a couple years off, I came back recently with a renewed committment to learning and applying those fundamentals and slowly moving up the levels. So I am self aware enough to know to treat my process as a beginner to instill those fundamentals.

I began at .10/.20 fl and have moved up to .25/.50. Been mistakes and poor judgements along the way, but I think that's to be expected. Been sticking to BRM except for about a month where I went nuts on some NL. (luckily no real harm done to BR). After that came back to the FL where I've grinding away trying to improve.

I do think FL is helping me in terms of hand selection and calculating odds and keeping my mistakes cheaper, but it's hard to argue that NL will provide even greater complexities to advance mylearning. Seems that if NL is really where I want to end up, then progressing there sooner rather than later would be the way to go to put me in more complex situations to learn.
