Sure, apologies... Edit: to benny the cunt's post, a few got in between while writing this.

And another thing could be, do we make some topics specific to online or live poker. Like i wrote a long post a while back about some things I thought might help newer players to live poker (esp coming from online), based on things I had seen at live tourneys (and the Cas) and received quite a few PM 'thankyous' for... So something obv specific to live poker, just as there are issues specific to online poker.

1 thing I think, from experience at 888PL foundation games, that would be helpful is the topic of "The importance of position". and by extension how to adjust your play accordingly.
Damn a 2nd Edit: Sorry didnt notice you already suggested this benny the cunt.

Edit:Matt, "Different styles of play - TAG, LAG etc" - and how to adjust to them? Is that what you mean? Good list... Got 3 months worth already!

Add to the list.

The basics of omaha - starting ranges, etc (i would love to discuss this one)

Suited cards: Yes, you can fold them.

Three's: The magic of set mining.

Flopping the nuts: Why nudity has no place in poker.

Yeah I would be into Omaha discussion to, but I think probably best to stick with hold'em for the time being. Also, you probably read them but I point out anyway, Brett made a couple of Omaha posts a while back.
