Here's how most my threads have gone:

1) I make a post of a hand I found difficult.
2) I get a response or two from low post count people.
3) I wait for a bit, then reply to the responses which are usually bad.
4) My more indepth second post acts to bump thread and get better discussion going.
5) Finally, some (what I assume are respected posters) come along and give me some good advice.

Small sample, but that seems to be the process. If you get one respected poster to reply, others will probably have a look at the thread. You might just need to find ways of bumping it, without just typing 'bump'.
