Didn't mean to belittle, I was just trying to talk out loud as to why I haven't signed up for a poker class.

In some ways, I'm an ideal student (play casually 1/mo, visit Vegas / Reno 1/yr, know enough to know that I don't know enough, etc), yet, I've never taken a class. I have purchased a few books.

Part of it might be that for something like poker, at the point of decision, I'm thinking "I could spend this money on the class ... or I could take this money and go play poker." Tough business! Good luck
