Bad Advice

[PuffsNutz]

With the recent EXPLOSION in online poker,
Ive noticed the quality of responses to strategic
questions has noticeably deterioted to the point
where some of the answers are at best horrible.
(particulary in the mid-high limit section)

The players posing the questions have no business
playing anything higher than 2/4, and some
of the players answering i wouldnt stake in
the 1/2.

But I sure as hell am not complaining.

On the other hand, if your new to this board,
and don't know the names of the more respected
posters, be careful of some of the advice on here.

Can you provide some examples of these threads since I'm too lazy to search them out for myself? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Well, you dont have to search much these days..

But just skimming like 3 posts, there was one
which I replied to about how you should fold AK
headsup on the river (if you didnt on the turn)
on a A922X rainbow board.

Another poster didnt understand why he should
fold K2suited preflop for a raise 4 handed
when your on the button.

The other post was borderline, so ill let
that one slide.

It kind of lame giving examples, when all you
have to do is start reading the Mid limit
section to know what Im talking about.
Compared to the old days it reads like
a section for beginners.

Just a thought,
If the mid-limit games have deteriorated so much, maybe beginner advice is appropriate for them. You certainly would play differently in a $.50-1.00 game then you would in a $15-30, maybe the $3-6 games are starting to play more like the $1-2 games of old. In which case, less advanced advice might be appropriate.

Sincerely,
Your typical WPT fan/Partypoker low limit player
