One aspect of the game that attracted me initially was I thought there would be more analysis and discussion of some hands during the week between games. I thought that was the whole point. It was meant to be fun but more importantly a learning experience. So it was worth the $11 for a potential lesson or two. That never really materialized. I don't have a problem with playing with good or decent players, but why do it when you don't have to? I posted a few hands after afterwards and they were largely ignored. That may be more of a reflection on me than anything but why else would I want to play with a bunch of people who study the game? I'd rather sit with the folks who call large pre-flop bets with A5o and pay me off.

None of this means that I personally will not play anymore, in fact I intend to. Other commitments have precluded me from playing but now that the schedule looks like it is changing, I will be more apt to play. But I think the above could go along way in improving participation.
