Message: <blockquote data-quote="Shaneus" data-source="post: 297704" data-attributes="member: 204">That's the right attitude I've found with learning from people. I have a few close friends who I'll listen to regarding rules and such, but for actual play style it's always best to want to learn (either by observation or just asking people) rather than being told unsolicited. PAPA tourney videos, that Pinball 101 video (it's on iOS and it's cheap, done by Keith Elwin) and just playing competitive but only in spirit (not in any official capacity) games against friends are the most beneficial. I find if you're just playing for fun with mates, you're less likely to watch what they do and learn from them... best to add a little seriousness once in a while, even if it's just in your own head.When playing against higher-skilled people, you can only get better. Perhaps if you start feeling the pressure, think of a round as a learning experience rather than a competition. Everyone likes to be asked about their skills/technique, it gives them an ego boost <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> But yeah, dumping that knowledge onto other people can only ever emit a "holier than thou" vibe.Oh BTW, glad you returned to writing these updates again! I was worried I wouldn't be able to live vicariously as an American tournament player through you <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
