I'm nearing the end. Just two more lessons to go, the last of which I assume is a final test.

I wanted to post my thoughts now that I'm this far in and have had a chance to practice what I've learned. All of the concepts are great and it seems to me that just about everything I could need or want to know right now is there! The material is well presented. I like the injections of humor, especially by Katie!

I used the word "concepts" above purposely. The game seems to have a myriad of variables such as player's tendencies - which are largely stable but can change in an instant, random cards dropping at just the right or just the wrong time, ever changing state of the tournament, a wide variety of skill levels - strong/thinking through weak/inflexible, and lastly player's real-time emotional states. This explains why the approaches taken in the examples (pulled from real games) don't always agree with the theoretical concepts being taught. It's clear that variables affected play when the hand was actually played out that weren't obvious during the replay.

Hence I have taken the "concepts" and tried to apply them as best I can given my very, very limited experience. I do this in my own way taking my own read on the other players' actions into account and given the circumstances that exist at the moment. And yes given my own varying emotional and physical state.

So far I think I've been successful. This course has helped me get off to a great start. Thank-you Collin and Katie!
