Marm, I would agree with you normally. I've been trying (in my tournament play) to adjust my play to the table. If I'm at a table where people are gambling and throwing chips around, I play uber tight and wait for the hands. If I'm at a table where everybody is limping, but no serious betting or raising going on, then I loosen up and try to either hit or steal pots...This is supported by the chipstack sizes and the amount of people left when we got to the third round.
I'm trying to, when I post these HHs, to give you my impression of the table, the read I have on my opponents, and my thoughts when I was in the hand. I always post the hands right after they happen (while the tournament is still going on) so that I remember everything fairly accurately. Obviously, the odds of this exact situation happening again is so slim that it's not worth remember advice for a specific situation. I feel it's my thought process and abilty to read other players and their bets that I need to improve.
Since very few people are actually watching the table for a length of time during play, commenting on my read probably isn't helpful because my read can't be deduced as correct or incorrect by one hand. Therefore, assuming my read is correct, it's my judgement in playing the hand that I'm looking for comments on.
I guess the question would be, in this particular hand, give the table conditions, was I right or wrong to limp with low suited connectors. Once that move has been made, was I right or wrong to play back at the opponent.
I usually don't post HHs where I've lost the hand because I usually decide my read was off and I played based on that wrong read. I've been trying to work on my reads. The HHs I post for comments are the ones I've won, but given my reads (which I try to post) did I play the hand correctly. I'm hoping given time and practice, I'll get much better at reading people, so if I can correct the way I play against specific types of people now (while I'm still learning) I won't create any bad habits that are next to impossible to break.
I went into this long post to explain the fact that I don't get upset if I get negative comments. I'm looking for constructive feedback and I appreciate all the feed back I get. I'm trying to improve my play and "dream" of the day when I can post several HHs in a row where the only comments are "You played that awsome" or some such crap
