posting etiquette suggestion

detruncate · #1 02-17-2005, 11:31 PM

In keeping with current efforts to make this forum a better place, I'd like to propose an informal 5x playthrough requirement. This means joining the conversation in at least 5 threads for each one we post. Give an opinion, ask a question... whatever. Just as long as it's an effort to engage on a meaningful level.

Better analysis = more $ for all. If enough people commit to this, it shouldn't be long before we start to see results.

Any takers?

YES

definitely!

and everyone should go check out clarkmeister's post to this effect in the small stakes forum.

by a quick count, i was at a 14:1 ratio this past month.
(search "+re:" and "-re:" in the titles of your posts)

new topics are overrated.

Yeah. I'm about the same. This is probably a futile gesture, but I'd love to see more debate and less volume.

For anyone who hasn't read it, Clakmeister's thread in SS is what motivated me to make the suggestion.

I'm running at like 200:1. It's mainly n00bs who post a lot of hands. What they need to figure out is that they will learn more by responding to other's hands/questions then posting their own.

I've learned this. When I first came here a week ago I posted a lot of hands in here.

I now try to post lots in other people's threads instead so I don't clutter up the board.

Haven't made a post in 4 days. Feels kinda weird. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

You're the goods, sir. For serious.

And you're right, of course. Just figured that if enough recently arrived dedicated posters jumped on board we might generate enough momentum to make a difference. I get stupidly optimistic from time to time. Good thing it doesn't linger.

By the by... I'll have to donate some money to you HU one of these days. Playing poorly at a 2+2 table woke up my inner masochist. Though I did enjoy one fun blind v blind incident against a certain 200:1 type cat.

You play poker? [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

No way you were at a 2+2 table...you shoud have said something. I was probably really drunk at the time but oh well.

Honestly I'm not really good HU. I played zephed and he destroyed me. I was wasted but I was much to aggro. I'm sure it would be a good match for both of us. I can certainly use the practice. If you have a stars account, let me know anytime (afternoon to latenight) you are interested and you see me on the boards (not Thursday - Saturday as I'm at the B&M).

I agree. I started out posting hands because I was afraid to comment, but now I'm enjoying replying more. I feel like I get just as much out of looking at interesting hands and posting as I would out of complaining how my nut flush was busted when the board paired on the river.
