Default Re: The demise of this forum

A sticky thread 'Resources for O8' would be good, then gergery's website, mention of books and sites where they're reviewed would be kept neatly in 1 place.

There could also be some links to good hand discussion threads or hand analysis on websites etc.

It's natural for players to gravitate to the specialist game area, rather than a general 'books' section of a forum, especially with Hold'em being so predominant. Pushing books off somewhere else, seems to be fighting the flow, and now I have all the 'right' books, whilst I would comment here, I'm not going to scan 'Books' just in case someones asking about O8.

A quick way to point someone towards the revelvant FAQ answer in a hopefully polite manner, rather than just RTFM ought to ease the work load on regular responders and encourage newcomers.

Something Veterans have to accept, is that the value of a forum is asymptopic, at first it's high value, see lots of new ideas and insights in thinking of others. With time, you've seen it all before and most of the stuff is going to bore you.

If those Veterans have cultivated Lieutenants, they'll naturally take on the burden until they have become gnarled and cynical Veterans fit for the wide open prairie forum pastures.
