Default Re: Creating Value in the Forum

Seke,

While your intentions are definitely noble and honorable, I honestly beleive that you get out of these forums what you put into them. There's a reason that some posters rise to the top as a result of reading/posting here while others struggle to make their 50th post after lurking here for 2 or more years having never made a final table in a tournament and having to continuously deposit money into their poker accounts.

If more posters really put effort into learning how to play the game as opposed to looking for spoonfed answers on what to do in each situation it would benefit everyone.

Not to toot my own horn... much... but I started playing poker right around the time I registered for these forums. I've not deposited into my accounts in nearly 2 years now and have been a successful MTT and cash game player on a consistent basis. This is directly a result of becoming involved in these forums, speaking with people both on and off the forums and honestly dedicating myself to acquiring as much understanding of poker as I could.

I'm not special. I'm not superhuman or some intellectual giant. I'm an average guy who put in the effort to improve.

Anyone can do the same but don't fool yourself. It takes work! Not everyone puts forth that same amount of effort... and it shows in their results.
