Should i use names instead of #s in posts????

[DcifrThs]

ive noticed that at party 1/2 the #s dont mean as much about postflop play.

therefore should i use names instead of #s in my posts. this would give other 1/2 players a better idea since #s just dont have the same meaning....different players use those #s differently.

i.e.: 26/10/1.6 bet vs. XXXXXXXXXX bets where id fill in XXXXXXXXX with a real players name.

so which is it?

I agree and I voted for names.

Use both?

I find these hands interesting, but I don't know the 1/2 crowd, so some numbers would still be useful (when they are meaningful).

Also, as I'm sure your aware, a certain amount of tact is needed when using player names. However, if using players names becomes common place on the forum, this could cause problems.

What's wrong with just describing their postflop play normally? Or stats + description?

The names don't give anyone information unless they know that player.

I am not strongly against posting other player's name, but I don't think it's that beneficial or neccessary.

I dont think you should use other peoples names.

why?

i want to get your, and others opinions on my play and in all honestly #s at this level mean very little.

please elaborate as your opinion means a great deal.

If you were describing a 80/160 hand from say the Bellagio where a lot of the guys on here might know your opponents and their tendencies, wouldn't you identify them?

You might also describe their play a little for those people who don't know your opponents, but that wouldn't stop you from naming them as that tells the whole picture, right?

So why would online be any different?

Sure, those opponents might read your post on here and learn a little about YOU, but I think in the end you'll gain more from making fully informative posts where you get the most out of them, moreso than your opponents who read them will gain.

I don't like it...namely because I wouldn't like it if you or anyone else unwittingly divulged info on my s/n in a public forum. This is a micro-version of what Party is trying to curtail by nixing poker-edge or whatever. If a player wants to take a shot at the bigger games, they should put in their own work to find out if player X is tricky or too loose in the blinds or whatever.

[Danielih]

I think that using names in posts will lead to increased discussion on individual players and their tendencies/weaknesses and I don't think it is completely fair to those people. Yes I discuss specific players and their weaknesses with my close group of friends but not on a forum like this where significant numbers of people could potentially exploit this information to destroy these players.

I suspect this is why people would vote for listing names.

For the record, I think your read should be nameless and descriptive, so numbers when relevant, postflop tendencies when relevant. But above all, nameless.
