There does seem to be an awful lot of players at NL5 taking forever to move up

then only "good" players can answer to threads in HA ?

I think he's referring more to post whores

I don't know what you guys consider "A GOOD" player but it seems the ones you like are really kinda dicks that just want all of the $5 players to kiss their ass because they can play in higher games. Why did Alex screw with money? Why did bboy try to rip someone off? Why do they post vids of their big wins?

A good player is anyone learning and trying to improve their game. bboy contributed a hell of lot more to the forum when he was playing $1/$2 games than he ever did when he started playing high.

Sure, the higher stakes guys tend to give correct advice but they don't contribute much more than "easy raise" or "auto-fold" to the discussions. I've said this before, if you give someone 5 minutes to think through a hand anyone who has a basic understanding of poker will come up with a profitable play. We need more theory discussion to really get this forum going, if you want to be told how to play a hand go post on 4. I'd rather discuss theoretical stuff like we used to: should you raise AK after 5 limpers, etc.

That's what will improve your game. A good player and a good contributer to the forum are 2 different things.

These noobs only threads are always so weird...

Also, a new or bad player giving his opinion should only help you realize why they are thinking in this manner. It's easier for you guys to berate them than it is to really think about their motives and whats making these players tick: considering they are the majority of your competition.

Why not add another section such has "pro's analysis" where a very good player posts a hand he played / saw, and explains street by street his thought process, ex: betting is better than trying to check raise because of xyz... where only the "pros" can start threads / users discuss ?


I don't know if you guys read "ace on the river" by greenstein (which sucks btw) but the chapters on tournament hands, I liked the format and that's what I would like to see in this "pro's analysis" section

Becuase this would take inititaive from the guy who owns the forum.

However he would rather not take initiative in making these improvements but come and post a patronising go play poker kids comment.
