I agree Seke and I have called people out on a few occasions when they say "Fold," so I say, "that doesn't contribute to the discussion, explain why." Then they come back with why, and it is very informative. I know, for me, I post alot of easy hands. The hands I normally post are the hands that I usually get busted on because I want to see if I made the right play and lost, or made a mistake.

I think one of the problems is that people get tired of saying the same thing over and over again. While they understand the inner details, going through it all over and over again is just tedious, however, it helps people who never do that kind of stuff.

I just recently started using Pokerstove alot more and when I respond to hands, I like to come up with hand ranges. When I first started playing poker I was always like, "How the hell do you put people on hand ranges?!?!?" I never realized how much it really meant to the game. I have slowly evolved into a breakeven player, but I still lack mid->late game moves and aggression. I read Theory of Poker and that really helped my game a ton. While some people say HoH helped them, I would have to say that ToP has helped my game the most.

I know that when I read a hand and don't know what to do, I just pass it up and wait for someone else to respond. I guess I should start trying to take ahold of those situations because those are probably the ones I need to breakthrough in my game to become a better player.

Just recently I played in a tourney of 2869 players and came in 60th. I was pretty proud of that. I had a few big hands like AA vs 2 all-ins that really helped me climb the bored, but I lack the late game aggression. I know a big area I need to work on is restealing.

So all of this rambling, I really haven't said much. I guess I didn't say what it was that I was trying to say.
