Comparsion check: 2+2

I'm fairly new, but still wish I had been here longer. It would have been nice to see more frequent posts from Miller, Raymer, and a few others.

I just hope my presence here has not contributed to any deterioration of 2+2. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

not meant as a slight to those you mentioned, I imagine there are probably more than few people that have replaced them. Perhaps will be hearing more about them in a year or two? Don't ask me to name names, I am just assuming.

It wasn't meant as a slight. I really don't know what 2+2 used to be like.
I just mentioned a couple names that people have been putting out there. I'm sure there are more. Still, it would be nice to see Miller post more. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Victor, you pretty much said exactly what I was going to, so I'll give an example.

Nowadays, I quite frequently see threads in the SS forum where a poster with less than 50 posts has something like JJ in the SB. In the "glory days" of the SS, there was a monumental thread about whether or not this should be raised with the conclusion that most came to being that the pre-flop edge given up by not raising could not be made up after the flop despite the deception value gained. Nowadays, such a thread would not occur because even the newest players will raise JJ in the SB.

So we don't get to examine theory as deeply as we used to be able to do, but this is because the overall playing/posting standard is higher.
