I feel that, in the last 6 months, this is the advice that has done the most to improve my BB/100. While the statistics and modeling of poker came easy to me, I just could not translate that into a good ring game return rate. After reading a lot of FTR posts, I began to see that I just sucked at building a pot when I had a great hand. The more money you can get in on the flop, the larger of a raise opponents will call on the turn and the bigger the value bet on the river.
