3bet.net thread

Coaching stuff/hints/discussion is on the rise in SSNL and uNL the last month. The thread I locked and moved here seems to be an obvious no-no according to Mat's wishes re: coaching.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

If at all possible I think these sorts of threads should be allowed to stick around. It's not really advertising for 3bet since everyone already knows what it is, it's trying to get feedback from a target audience and it's not like a side banner is going to be able to replace that.

Mat said here no threads about coaching even if they weren't spam.

xorbie,

"It's not really advertising for 3bet since everyone already knows what it is"

Hahahahaa, that is just about the dumbest thing I've ever read on 2+2.

yeah i mean, i already know what coke and mcdonalds are.. why on earth do they keep hitting me with advertisements??

daryn,

both points are valid:

1) even if everyone knew, advertising is advertising.

2) but everyone doesn't know, the site gets a ton of new posters, most of everyone in the world has not heard of 3-bet.

all in all, while it's pretty dumb, it sadly doesn't come close to many things said around here in terms of outright stupidity.

I should explain that I was under the impression that 3bet had a banner on the side which apparently they don't.

edit: And none of this adresses my point which is that there's no way they could get a banner on the side that asks these sorts of questions which is the main issue IMO. I suppose a compromise is to just have krantz pay the monthly cost for a an ad somewhere and let these threads stay up which should work out for everyone. I should add that I'm a little biased since I'm one of the coaches so this very indirectly benefits me.
