A Message to all of SSNL (and the other NL forums for that matter)

[MoP_86]

Way to often I'll read a hand posted and the replies go something like this.

first reply:

"cr flop"

Second reply:

"no way, cr is terrible, b/f please"

third reply

"b/3-bet call shove, fistpump!!!"

now what the heck am I supposed to get from this?

I'll usually have to wade through the replies to find someone who is actually willing to explain the meaning behind their recommendations.

I'll be the first to admit that I have been guilty of doing the same in some of my posts in the past.

A guess the big thing is that I don't think we gain ANYTHING AT ALL from these types of posts. I believe they should be against the rules.

If you want to reply with a line to someones hand, please please please explain your reasoning behind your reply, even if its just a line or two.

cheers friends

the point is to think about the one liners. Some experienced posters/players often just write one liners (ikestoys for eg) they give you the answer and you can learn alot just by trying to get to it. I'm sure the people doing it will be decent enough to explain a little more if you don't get what they're trying to say. Just quote their response and ask them. (i know i will do that anyway).


I can understand your frustration sometimes, it's mostly because we're all lazy, but the one-liners can help alot.

[carrotsnake]

Most posts are retarded and deserve a 1 liner at best. Other times its a situation that probably should be described, but the person just wants to make a point. Some people like explaining, others like to say what they believe. Its probably annoying, but maybe you should find the people you respect's posts, see what they say, and then try to figure out why they said it ? If they aren't gonna change, and it doesn't appear they are, you probably should

[Fletcher19]

this will sound arrogant but alot of threads are very simple and dont need much explination and if you can't see that then you should probably be brushing up at uNL.

As far as one liners go they do have their uses to add weight to another posters argument. Also to succeed in poker you have to think about conecpts/ideas for yourself so maybe one liners arent such a bad thing

[Up-grey-de]

Do like me, ignore(or read very briefly) what people with few posts and people who writes a one-liner in a deep discussion has to say.
Rely on what the Carpral/Tunnel etc guys have to say.
They are usually thinking deeper about every hand, and sadly there are some people who just repeats what others have to say or do not think abouts hands, just in order to get that Carpral/Tunnel etc status. You know who you are.

[cakewalk]

think about why they said to do that

you realise that not everone gets tonnes of posts by writing about poker strategy. alot of them write in NVG, BBV, OOT, BBV4life, travel etc that have nothing to do with poker
