mikel. usually repsonds to a lot of posters. Andy too for the most part. Gabe always responds to Andy, who always responds to mikel., who always repsonds to Gabe. Throw in all around good guy Rick Nebiolo, who always responds to Andy, Gabe and mikel.

Both mike l. and I are playing a lot more no limit lately. mike l. is already a top no limit poster but I'm still at the point where I mostly surf no limit since I'm essentially confused. Eventually I'd like to post more, perhaps under a separate posting name since I know I'm often playing against 2+2ers these days.

Sometimes it might seem we can get a bit like a clique mostly responding to each others posts (I mean Andy, Gabe, mike l. etc.) but the reality is that the forum has grown from a small town to a huge city and it's only natural to hang around the "old hood". I know DrifrThs, bicyclekick and countless others are great posters but a lot of you guys play mostly online while we mostly grind it out in the local trenches. With the increase in posting that means if we see a great post in the morning and make a comment or two it's buried by the time we get home. That wasn't true a few years ago.

Also I spoke with mike l. about this and we both agreed that sometimes our eyes glaze over when a hand is posted using one of the converters. It might be old age though (especially in my case) [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]. It does help when you guys add some descriptive material between the converters output.

Now there are more forums than I have fingers and toes so this complicates things even more. I have one browser (Opera) set up just for 2+2, with a Personal Bar of tabs for ten or so forums I like/need to check out the most. Even with this, it took me months to find the Science, Math and Philosophy forum, which I call the "God" forum on my tab label in honor of Sklansky and "sklanskyanity".

Clark is in that loop but has gone thru some stages and sees things a little different now. He's tired of educating the masses, especially when others are consistently posting hands twice the limit he plays at. Even though I'm sure they're far from twice the player he is.

I stay away from Clark's posts these days because his new avatar (not the previous one with that old man!) makes me horny.

Now if a thread is started by BK or Scheinds, no matter the level of the thinking of the content, it's 1000 responses long. "We disagree. Should he bet?" Razor edge marginal 33.

Imagine coming home to this after playing ten hours at a zoo like Hollywood Park!

Jeffage, who is probably the best mid-high combo stud/holdem player on the boards, gets token repsonses. He plays fairly high and post good hands. Lost in translation.

I'll have to put him on my ever growing list of posters I need to read more. The list is linked by an actual icon on my desktop.

PS Whatever happened to the idea of starting an "over 50 OOT" aka the "geezer forum" or is the Science, Math, and Philosophy forum it by default since David Sklansky, Andy Fox, Zeno, and John Cole post there so often?

PPS I also miss the old threads Jim Brier started. They were always on topic and actually stayed up on top the message index for more than 30 minutes [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
