A humble question

Like I thought I said before, "Bet and its not thin" is saying a lot. And "bet with impunity" is saying a lot. Its saying bet and its not close. Now if I were a beginning player that would immediatly click in my head that ok obviously betting is right. I dont think you need some long winded response to make a point.

I'm sure you get this point by now, but "bet, it's not close" doesn't mean anything unless the beginner does some extensive research on the boards to see if the guy saying this is good and respected. And even then, he still might be wrong. It seems these kind of answers are meant for the other experienced players who read the board, and not for the guys who could actually learn something.

If I were a beginner who told "easy bet" twice, and then one guy saying "I'd check", nothing would click anywhere. It would be better than nothing, I would get a vague idea, but if people pointed out why they thought it was a bet or a check in a simple sentence, I might actually become a better player from three or four responses.

Surely you can see that the difference is significant.

I am claiming no moral high round or anything since I hardly ever contribute to threads or post hands, and like I said posting is almost always better than not posting. I just wanted to say that there is obviously a big difference between giving reasons for your thinking and not giving reasons for your thinking on a board designed for improving as players. (doh, right?)
