uNL 6 Month check up

[EMc]

So, its been about 6 months since uNL opened. So far Id like to think that is been a success, but alas, not perfect. I would like to hear what the users have to say wrt to quality of advice, community, tone, moderation, etc.

Thanks,

uNL mods.

uNL and the stickies has taught me just about everything that I know about poker. I mean, it wasn't hand fed to me by any means and I had to wade through a lot of noise to get there, but I feel like there's a lot of value in this forum if you're willing to really critically examine your play and actively debate in the hands that you post. When I see threads that people post and then don't get in the commentary asking questions and such, it makes me wonder how much they actually learned.

The posts seem to get more replies after the split, more thorough discussion. I was worried about losing some good SSNL posters, but there is definitely enough of them, and good uNL posters as well. I like it.

I like it. It feels like home.

The quality of advice is mixed but that's pretty much to be expected. Commenting on hands, getting it wrong, and being corrected (sometimes not) by someone who has a better grasp of the situation is part of the learning process. I'd expect this to be true of the other strategy forums as well, just on a higher level.

Same here, I was not a forum member before the split, but I like these forums very much. A lot of good discussions by players who seem to know what they are talking about.

Keep up the good work!!!

I love it here a lot more than I thought coming from CardRunners. Pretty easy to filter the bad advice and there's not as much of it as I thought there would be. Also very little flaming. Everything from even negative comments is constructive (knock on wood). Best sticky around as well. KEEP IT UP!

STTF is my home ... but I've found the new forum a very accessible way to get into cash game thinking. Good job.

I started uNL about 2 months ago; I don't see what can be done better. There are definitely some good regular experienced players who post and keep the quality of advice high and that is great! The stickies were invaluable and gave me lots to study as I was getting started. The mods keep the posts to the rules.

What more can anyone ask for? Other forums on the internet (for any stake) do not compare.

uNL is good for what it is, but I'd like to see some more senior posters besides Gelford (only posts in uBrew) and Koloture (even though he's 17 lol). Isura's recent theory post was well thought out and insightful, but way above the thought process of players at .05/.1 to .25/.50....I almost think going through chapters from the upcoming Professional No Limit and/or Theory and Practice would be great theory posts for this forum because it'll enforce the fundamentals that much more. I'd also like to see a PokerTracker series where more than just Pokey's work is the guidelines........stats thread ohhh, nvmd.
