can we modify the blind-grunch posting to be: look at the hand, figure a response/questions/thoughts prior to posting, but THEN to read the responses before actually posting. There are so many threads that have multiple postings of "i'd fold preflop", it just gets tiresome reading the same thing over and over.

I've thought about this, but I dislike it because when a new player looks at a hand, thinks of their response, then goes and reads the other responses they say something like "oh yeah, that's what I would have done too". They won't post their thoughts because they don't want to sound silly contradicting 15 other people in the thread even though they disagree.

When they actually post it without seeing any other responses they will learn a lot more, especially if they have to defend their reasoning. They may also have an experienced poster come by and point out some holes in their logic specifically which can be a big help.

I think they'd be more likely to get a response if they post their disagreement to someone who already responded, rather than grunching to the OP.
