Looks like that update to Percentages & Probabilities has been pushed back another few years. My comment from 2-1/2 years ago still applies:

"From my perspective, [the Percentages & Probabilities update] by itself would suffice to adequately address several of the other areas (mentioned in the New Products survey)."
I love this Guy

No but honestly I think I wrote on here before about a wishing for a mentor and what finding one could possibly do for me and my game, but that was when I 1st came here on the board, and now after these past few years, I still believe in the great value of a Mentor, for which I think I can say I found one, or at the least have found a friend who does not hang up on me, just kidding, having someone to help with the everyday struggles and explaining and showing what works and what does not and how they come to that realization, thru hard work and testing and studies over and over till they show profits.

Finding a Mentor is more personal than finding a group, like our board PAIHL contest was a group effort, which allowed some of us to work with a group and see how well we did, for that experience was invaluable, one of the best idea's on the board in years was that contest, my opinion anyway, as it made us work together as a group, who for us was the HSH Pickmaster Team and I think we did okay overall, but the being able to ask others and bounce idea's off the head, softly of course, was a truly wonderful learning experience.

Now having a group of guys is a step in the right direction, but also one must be at a point where one can devote time necessary to the game, as a real Mentor is playing and working hard to win, each day and if you are not ready and willing to commit the time needed to learn, like I was unwilling to drop everything and go learn , I had to keep working and trying to learn and win in between, which isn't impossible just harder and tougher because of the time between lessons and or consultations/mentoring sessions takes place , but I am lucky enough to have a very patient guy willing to put up with my many shortcomings and still help me with becoming a winning player, and no it is not Dave, thou he has been very helpful and patient with me , that is well known here , as have plenty of people been very helpful here, and I do mean many people and very very helpful, problem with me was too much information and I was overwhelmed and had too short of an attention span to keep it all, as soon as someone say this I would try it till some else would say try this, and off I go, but finally I have the right person, who I forever grateful to for helping so much, my Mentor.

Well I went over board again, but this was an area I thought I would have found someone retiring in Florida who say come on down and let me teach what I have learned all these and see if you can pas it on when you retire, kinda like a lost Uncle who loved the ponies and wanted to now pass on the family secrets to you, that was what I was hoping to find when I 1st posted about finding a Mentor, but then found out I would never find such a guy from a post on here and if I did was unable to drop everything and go, so I kept at it slowly making progress, and every now and then stirring up things here , but great post and I just want to say having a mentor is a very important part of becoming a winner, that someone to help guide thru all the mess out there.. best of luck
