You've given me some food for thought.
Your psychology cred is off to a good start with me.

If I had the patience, I could dig up a dozen posts where I was advising new players exactly this.
Your poker cred. is off to a good start with me, too.
We have a rather consistent group of science-minded posters, here in the FTR Community forum.
I hope you join some of our conversations, or start some for us to join in on.
In short.. stick around. Most of us are good people, most of the time.
