Idea

OK, multi-regulars, let's see if we can solve this newbie "problem" with a little bit of work:

I'm thinking that there are probably 10 or so "standard" situations which are so clear that they can be posted in an anthology for those new players who genuinely think that posting "How do I play AK with an M of 10 in the BB" or "I have QQ with an M of 9, does he have KK?" can have a little something something to refer to before starting a new post. They may still ask the same questions, but perhaps with a little more insight, like "I know that this thread says you can't do this with AK, but, what about THIS" instead of just "What do I do?" Give them a very basic level 1 knowledge base to work with, get them thinking on their own.

Now, I know one objection - every situation is different. However, I think that we can all agree on a few standard situations where there is always one right play (if only preflop).

What do you guys think?
