Default SSNL Master Sticky - ALL POSTERS MUST READ (Well Posts 3/2/07)

Welcome to the SSNL Master Sticky. One sticky to rule them all.

SSNL is officially the highest-traffic strategy forum on all of 2p2! We have a lot of great posters here, and they contribute a lot to the forum that everyone should know about. If we just stickied these things as they happen, like most strat forums, we would have 12 stickies.

This thread was created to be a master sticky. It will have links to our FAQ, the previos digests, essays and other works by our posters, and any bits of news that come up. This way we can get the information to everybody without cluttering up the front page.

All posters need to read the Posting Guidelines and the FAQ at the minumum, but you really should read everything here. It will make you a better player & a better poster.

Good reading!

Where should I post my hand?

High Stakes NL - above 5/10 (above NL1000)
Mid Stakes NL - (NL400-NL1000)
Small Stakes NL - (NL100-NL200)
Micro Stakes NL - (NL50 and below)
Full Ring NL - (all SSNL/McNL full ring hands)

SSNL Required Reading & Really Important Reading
All forum users are expected to be familiar with the following posts before contributing. The most common reason for thread locks by a mod is becasue you asked a question addressed in one of these two posts. Please read!

<ul type="square">[*]SSNL Posting Guidelines[*]SSNL FAQ v3.1 (Updated 12/19/05)[*]Lingo &amp; Abbreviations[/list]
Forum News:
<ul type="square">[*]SSNL is officially the highest-traffic strategy forum on twoplustwo.com. Unfortunately, we also have one of the worst threads:replies ratios of all strat forums as well. Becasue of this, we have recently brought on a new mod, ajmargarine, and we have also undertaken a crackdown on noise threads.

We want SSNL to be your home forum, but we also want it to be a quality advice forum. Our goal is to improve the signal:noise ratio in this forum while making SSNL a forum you want to belong to. Here's a few of the things we're doing to accomplish this:

- No-content threads are good for a sense of community, but there can't be too many. We'll be locking more of these than we did before (but not all).
- Strat threads that are impossible to answer or answered in the FAQ will be locked, and the OP will be guided as to how/where to get an answer to his question.
- Flaming will not be tolerated in any thread by any poster. The posts in quesstion will be moderated, either by editing out the flames, locking or even deleting the thread. Offending posters will be warned either publicly or privately, and repeat offences will result in either temp bans or perma-bans.

We may take other actions as well as the situations dictate.

Post well.

Pooh-Bah Posts &amp; PSAs:
A Pooh-Bah post is a kind of essay on a focused strategy topic. Traditionally it's written by a poster who has transitioned up the learning curve a good ways by participating on the (strat) forums, building strategy conversations and playing a lot. They have learned most of the basics (which was harder than they imagined when they first started up the curve) and many of the advanced topics. Usually they write this essay around the time when they reach 1600 posts; which is the point where thier title is changed from 'veteran' to 'Pooh-Bah', hence the name.

A PSA is a 'Public Service Announcement' and is similar to a PB post, but it might not be strictly about hand strategy. It could be a broader topic (such as bankkroll or tilt control), or about contributing to the board. These will go here too.

Happy hunting. Don't forget there's good stuff in the archives, too. Threads that are over a year old are moved to another server (with another URL), and don't show up when you perform a search on forumserver.twoplustwo.com. The URL to the archive server is http://archiveserver.twoplustwo.com/.

Default The Well

The Well

A stranger is being shown around a village that he has just become part of. He is shown a well and his guide says "On any day except tuesday, you can shout any question down that well and you'll be told the answer" . The man seems pretty impressed, and so he shouts down: Why not on tuesday? and the voice from in the well shouts back: Because on tuesday, its your day in the well .

A number of SSNL regulars and a few guest stars have appeared in the well. Here's a list so far (most recent first):
