Grunch?
 
I keep seeing this, and have no idea what it means. What does it mean? Where did it come from? Why is everyone using it all of a sudden?

it means to post blind, or to post your reply to the original post without looking at any other replies.

And I call bs on most who put it in their posts...

What was wrong with the term "posting blind"?

It's from microlimits, grunchcan made a big post about how everyone would improve faster if they replied to hand histories without reading everyone else's advice first.

That's a shame. I don't think that's true. Depending on the # of people who have already posted, I try to post the majority of mine blind, but I don't say grunch first, 'cause that's toolish.

I said *most*.

When I read a post, with excellent content & close decisions, and see grunch 10+ times at least 20+ posts in, where the grunchers are giving the supposed "agreed upon" line, I cry foul. I do this because I read the subsequent posts from these grunchers who ask for advice in situations which are totally easier & not close.

Anyway, perhaps I'm jaded because my posts are usually ignored.

FYI the origin is from some guy named grunch or grunchy that created a really good post once that recommended doing it, and I think it was actually in the micros.

Which means I can't possibly know anything? Ok.
