I will never 'get it'

Imo the best thing to do us start categorising people. You don't need many categories. Just use nit/tag, lag, station, crazy aggro idiot.

Then adjust your play for each category.

Stations: give wide range, value bet, beware against aggression.

Lags: let them bet into you, call with good/medium hands, muck crap.

Nit/tags: value bet, bluff a little, play poker.

Crazy agro idiots: get it in light and expect high variance.

This sounds too simplistic. And it is. But its a good starting point. As you play people, categorize them based on stats and add notes to help narrow their range as and when you get useful info. At msnl this should work quote well and has the benefit of getting you used to thinking about ranges, adjusting your play and taking notes, all of which are vital for your growth as a player.

Thanks Dan. I like this advice, manageable and staged.
