In Response To: Cube action? (Stick)

Stick, of course i am happy with your or other experts comments who spend more time than me in backgammon

i read Magriel two times when was soldier, yes it is excellent, even it has many errors according to ROs i learned the basic ideas about it. and when i was soldier had many free time, read Roberties bg for serious players, Clays winnings strategies

before was a soldier, i played several 11 pt matches with Snowie and my average ER was 6.6 for 4 months, now i am reading bootcamp deeply, play all positions several times and learn many mathematical trues about bear off gammon value rtc. also forget most of them, read everyday this forum posts, play everyday 20-30 pt matches on net, and i expect after this 4 months good study my error rate could be below 6, like 5.5, i played 50 7pt matches with gnu and average ER was 6.8 :( instead i expect decrease, i increase, so wonder about, do i learn anything, or make something wrong, or is it need more time to decrease ER than 4-5 months ?

which i realized about reading, learning something is that, when you learn or try to learn, memorize some pos. you make more errors than before, because you are new about this type positions and dont learn all aspect of the positions. so i think my ER doesnt decrease bec. of this idea, may be it'll decrease too fast after reread same positions and play several times, am i true?

about 501, you had an idea to RO all positions, do you want it still? if yes it is wonderful, we all will learn the best moves before begin reading

magriel, bootcamp then which one? modern bg, 501, new ideas? or is there anyone?

(i have 501 dont have others)
