Favorite threads on 2+2
Does anyone else toggle their favorite threads on 2+2? Here is my list, I consider them all to be "must reads" for newbies like myself. I'm sure I missed some, so please post what your favorites are.
1. Trying to make a living Online The first weekly post by davidross. It's 44 weeks later and he's still posting the updates. 2. An Opinion Poll As To Best Sites Probably a little outdated, but a nice long thread with peoples opinions on various poker sites. 3. 15-30: Maniacs force one to make tough decisions One of the first posts I read, I realized I had a lot to learn [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] 4. implied odds preflop The advice from Dynasty in this thread is fantastic. 5. AAAAaaarrrggggg!! Dealing with aggresive players. Again, great comments from Dynasty, a very interesting thread. 6. Mirage 10-20: Drawing with a gut-shot and an overcard Very interesting hand, I am again reminded how much I have to learn. 7. Some questions concerning flush draws... Great reply by Ed Miller. 8. Huge Pot I learned the value bet/raise from this thread. I think this thread turned me into a winning microlimit player [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] 9. Just a bad beat right? Good reply by Ed Miller on "charging flush draws". 10. Player notes discussion Nice long thread on player notes, the reply by MS Sunshine is especially good. 11. The damn Fish!!!!! Loose games RANT! Great post by Joe Tall! I have sent a couple buddies here after they complain to me about fish in their games. This changed their opinion [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] 12. Running bad or playing badly? I read this during a bad run of cards, made me feel a lot better. 13. Rant series updated. Links to four rants by Lori. All of them are great posts, funny to read and great advice. 14. Why you guys aren't crushing these Microlimit games... Fantastic post by Ed Miller, it got bumped a few days ago and got me thinking about making this post. 15. BisonBison's Hand Converter: Limit, NL & PL HE Party Hands Extremely useful, this scrpit by BisonBison will change the forums forever. |

Awesome work.

Re: Favorite threads on 2+2
I love the favorite threads...here are mine:
Evolution of a 2+2 Absolutely hilarious and totally true. Great thread about the old school posters Ulysses and some serious rationalization Fossilman's report from the 10K buyin event at FW and finally 2 words, pattern maps Jek's comments to party support made me spit water on my monitor. |
Re: Favorite threads on 2+2
Great links, I'd missed a few thanks!

Re: Favorite threads on 2+2
I was actually thinking a while ago that I wonder if David & Mason have thought of making a book of various post from this forum. Much like one of Mason's Poker Essay books. Seems like it would be cool.

Re: Favorite threads on 2+2
I do and I have just added your thread of favorite threads to my thread of favorite threads.

Re: Favorite threads on 2+2
Great list. I have to second many of these and many of the replies as well. Evolution of a 2+2er is one of the first threads that really made an impression on me.
Now I can bookmark just this thread, instead of each one individually. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] |
Re: Favorite threads on 2+2
Ed Miller has originated several excellent threads (preflop quiz, why you guys are'nt crushing the game, etc.). Wading through his posts, I am sure I have missed several key threads of this nature.
What are his key "teaching" threads, and how far back has he been doing this? |

Re: Favorite threads on 2+2
Thought I'd drag this thread up again and post some of my own favourites:
1. Five things LL players should unlearn by Clarkmeister with lots of great input from others 2. Defending your blinds - Clarkmeister posted this recently in the mid-high stakes forum, it's an excellent thread. 3. General Advice on Big Bet hold'em by ArtVandelay. Useful discussion for limit players who don't play much NL. 4. Loose Games - not giving them the correct odds to chase with input from a few very intelligent and thoughtful posters, although they're not the big forum names. David Sklansky also posted in this thread. 5. Great post by Homer for beginners at LLHE 6. Pot Odds after the flop - There's an excellent reply here by Nottom which is where I really began to understood how to work out if I could bet for value on the flop. 7. Pre-flop take off the training wheels - by Ed Miller (majorkong). I'm pretty sure that someone already posted this, but just in case they didn't. 8. raising jacks out of the small blind - by a bunch of people. A classic thread. 9. So I 3-bet to find out where I stood... - by Ed Miller/MK. 10. Streaks thread by Homer I think someone has already posted this too but just in case. Hopefully more people will post their favourites. |

Re: Favorite threads on 2+2
Thanks for the great threads everyone. Spamuell, you had a bunch of great links.
"Pushing too hard with Bad Larrys" was hilarious!! Does anyone know the thread where GrannyMae explains her love for the Qs5s? |

Elysium on B+M table demeanor.
Limon's Essays I Limon's Essays II (I am more Greek!) Limon's Essays III Limon's Essays IV MSSunshine on pokertracker. Most of these I like because they're funny, not because they have poker advice in them. The pokertracker post is a great resource, though. scrub |
Re: Favorite threads on 2+2
Any thread that does NOT INVOLVE BOTS. |
Re: Favorite threads on 2+2
one that does not involve pattern maps

Re: Favorite threads on 2+2
This thread deserves a bump every now and then, the links are such a great resource it would be a shame for people to miss them. But I wouldn't do it unless I had something to add, and here they are:
Low-limit Preflop Quiz, by Ed Miller. Another well thought out post by the NPA. 20 questions where the low limit player can get some great pre-flop practice, followed up by an excellent discussion. A Trip Report I Never Posted, by Inthacup. This is the funniest trip report ever! Make sure to read all the replies to (especially those from the others that came on the trip). This is what Vegas is all about! |

Re: Favorite threads on 2+2
If you accept the proposition that the best threads tend to get the most views, then just click on the word "Views" at the top of a list of posts, and you will get to see the most popular threads in that forum.
I use this approach all the time when I want to read a good long informative thread instead of today's current topics. |

Re: Favorite threads on 2+2
Since this thread appears to be longer-lived, we need a back-link to favorites part 2.

Re: Favorite threads on 2+2
I'm adding this thread to my favorites. Illunious, we should get together and play some poker sometime. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Favorite threads on 2+2
is there a way of adding a thread to your favourites without making a post? Like I am doing here!
|
Re: Favorite threads on 2+2
in the bottom left of the frame look for "extra information" under it should be something like "favorite thread toggle" simply click that and it will be added. Since most of my favorite threads are made by people smarter than me most of my favorites were made so this way.

Re: Favorite threads on 2+2
Thanks for all the lists - it can be a little daunting trying to find the "white meat" around here...
Great post. Trying to get better a hand at a time. Peace, Ritter |
Re: Favorite threads on 2+2
Destined to be a classic (you know you've played too much poker when...)
|
Re: Favorite threads on 2+2
I know I'm getting to this post a little late, but like this one I wish I could post replys to some of those. Hey, maybe if some people started posting replys and getting some of those posts going again, we could just pick it right back up ... unless the final word has been said on a topic ... ha.

Re: Favorite threads on 2+2
I thought this post was an Instant Classic, at least if you're a fan of Shania Twain.
