Terp is a genius (SSNL Disease comment)
I just want to give some praise to Justin. He's an excellent poker mind, and anyone who has watched his old series "Hand Readers" from a couple of seasons ago will know that this is true. However, SSNL Disease is the greatest thing that has happened to me since I joined my first training site. Terp is a very articulate and well-spoken person. He gets his message across really well, and every video I've seen from Terp has been great. His use of analogies are just spot on for my thought process.
But that's not the real praise. Truth be told, I could probably pick any no limit hold'em theory series here on DC and say it's fucking awesome, and it would probably be true. However, what I really want to praise Terp's SSNL Disease for is the fact that, although he talks from a no limit hold'em background, you can apply his teachings to any poker game. The material in SSNL Disease is so closely related to general poker theory that it almost becomes more of a general poker theory series. I have two episodes left to take notes of, those are 7 and 8. I'm looking forward to watching these episodes and actually taking notes of these series. After that, I might move on to reading a couple of poker books and taking notes of them. I might eventually build up a ginormous library of notes from both videos and books.
Watching videos and taking notes has been very educational for me thus far, and I think I'm vastly improving as a player by watching a lot of these theoretical series and actually learning the theory behind what is being done rather than doing something without understanding why. I never thought I would say this, but I want more theory!
