I also like the discourse on bankrolls and bets sizing. I think being able to correctly size your bets is such a great, albeit challenging skill to have in the real world.

One major problem here is that many players dramatically overestimate their edge.
One of the rules of thumb you quickly learn when studying the Kelly criterion is that overestimation can lead to ruin, underestimation can at worst lead to slower growth.
A problem for those players, an opportunity for others :)
