Why do we post on 2+2?
What's the motivation for some of the better posters to post on 2+2? Online games are getting tougher constantly as money is constantly leaving the worse players and going to the better players. Unskilled casual players can't possibly support the many nutpeddlers who are constantly draining money from the online poker economy.
If we assume that a new player is essentially a fish by the time they get to 2+2 - they don't know the right play postflop, they don't raise their good hands enough, they telegraph their hands - and everytime we post advice, that advice is read by dozens of other lurkers and posters with similar problems, then every single post we make costs us long term financial EV by making our games tougher. We are merely increasing the speed with which the inevitable arrives - online poker games will eventually become too tight to be worth playing in for the majority of poker players. So why do post?
