We've been through this before. As I recall, Ken's

mentally unable to treat 76s as if it were 76o.
Yeah, okay, then at a minimum his advice shouldn't be
followed by other players who are trying to improve
their game.
In using the tennis analogy, if someone tells you how
to hit a backhand, does this mean you just understand
it and make the adjustment? Or alternatively you just
stand there and say "well *I* just can't do it."
Or do you think you might get something out of it by
going to the court and hit a few hundred of them and
then try applying it to your game? Now if you this
for six months and then you haven't shown improvement,
at this point maybe you have some standing to say
"well I can't do this, I'm going back to my old
swing."
I know if I played tennis a tenth at much as I played
poker, and for a tenth of the stakes, I'd be out on
that court practicing.
