Thanks for the tip, I like this. And to answer all the other questions, yes I do bet weak, and I am now coming to that realization. I actually went months without evaluating my play and hitting these boards (and other educational exercises). I don't know how my game got like this!! All this constructive criticism helps. Thanks all.
