posting etiquette suggestion

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).

clarkmeister says so.

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.

I think most of the regulars already engage in this policy. I have never seen it spelled out before though -- I guess it has just been an intuitive thing for me. Great idea to spell this out like this detr -- I think it should be part of the FAQ at the top of the board.

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?

And I'll be bumping this thread at least once per day.

This is only a psudo-bump.

Here's one reason why replying is better than posting.

Most hands we play are marginal, and of questionable value. That's where we make most of our money. Since the edges are so thin on these hands, the advanatges on one line versus another is also often thin.

The best discussions in this forum and SS - IMO - occur when someone posts a hand, and several posters disagree about the right line to take. This is even more true when the "big name" posters disagree with each other. The best discussions Iv'e ever seen happened when an an-depth analysis of a marginal line is conducted to support one side or another of an argument. This only happens in the replies, not in the post. And if the forum is flooded with ABC hand after ABC hand, no one thread can get enough face time to gather this kind of debate.

Post less! Reply more!

I guess I'm not your typical n00b then....I have yet to post a new topic......I figured I would reply to a few and take my flamings there first

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

You're saying that you think there should be more new posts, and fewer replies in each individual post?

If so, you got some 'splainin to do.
