Default people with a lot of posts who play micro-limit (little content)

I've noticed a few posters here with like a 1000 posts who play micro-limit. Just curious to know why. I can't imagine anyone with that amount of posts not being able to beat 5-10 or crush 3-6.

Are you seriously equating "# of posts" to "poker skill" ??

(Let alone "# of micro posts" ??)

I'm not saying that. But I do think they would have some correlation.

I'm a slow learner and didn't break out of the 3/6 game until probably 4k-5k posts. And I didn't even swing by the OOT forum until recently.


Here's a thought:
If I had spent LESS time posting about how dumb Phil Hellmuth is or going on and on about crypto-bonuses or other worthless topics and had spent MORE time actually reading up HH's in the HUSH, SS and M/H forums I would be a MUCH better player now.
The fact that I have over 7k posts is the number 1 reason why I'm NOT as good a player as I would like to be.


Less talking...more listening.

The lurkers who read HH after HH and absorb the information but only have 100 posts are far more likely to be better players than the non-stop mouth-pieces like myself who get involved in threads about the TV show 'Tilt' or who the best and worst poker-announcers are.

Oh crap, now I will have to conserve my posts to stay under 100. Mike Sexton and Howard Lederer are the best announcers.

If you have <100 posts please do not waste a post replying. Replies from those with >1,000 posts welcome.

I wouldn't worry too much about it.
If you really think that Mike Sexton is one of the best announcers then you're beyond help anyway!!

the general definition equate means equals to. That is perfect correlation. Two things can be correlated and only have a weak correlation. Again, I would expect that people with more posts are generally better than people with few posts. Obviously this is not a fact, but there is definitely some correlation.
