O8 Forum suggestions

davebreal · #1 01-17-2007, 01:25 AM

I'm thinking that we should have a "Well" series like the other forums.. basicaly freeform Q&A's featuring selected established O8 players. Also, a "monthly low-content" thread just to dump stupid hands and whatever in would be cool too... PLO does this.

Thoughts? Other suggestions?

we shud 1/2 for actual hands, and 1/2 for the theoretical, books, blah blah blah

I think both would be great. Although we do already have a low content thread, and I think it's cool that the thread continues to build up over time.

But I really like the Q&A forum idea, because it's not really low content, but doesn't really fall under hand postings either. I think it would be helpful for those of us who are moving up in stakes to be able to ask you guys questions and start discussions about general/hypothetical situations. I've noticed we've had a lot of questions lately about tournament play, and I think this is one subject that fits in perfectly.

unfortunately without a stickie, this thread gets buried... plus some browsers might prefer not to view so many pages of old entries.. i dunno

here is an example of format/content for "the well" link

just a way to have fun and interview the more experienced people. obvious candidates would include: Buzz, Felicia, Gergery, Tx, Niss, myself, Mendacious, Tuco, etc.

WM started his own Q&A thread way back... too bad he's exiled now [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I really like the well idea. Thanks for posting the example.

The low content thread. I've seen it before, but I've never understood it's purpose. Seems like a good place to ask.

My dare to dream, someday the group wants me in the well. LOL. Right now I'm almost waiting for them to ban me from posting.

I like the well idea. I also think people should post more interesting hands. I will start doing this. If people follow everything will be dandy.

Any interest in a regularly scheduled 2+2 donkament (err, tournament)? This might provide decent fodder for hand discussions too.

You should do a "Well". Your live journal is very entertaining and it would be fun to be able to pepper you with questions.

I'm ok with doing one eventually. My intentions aren't totally self-glorification though... our forum is really boring here though which we should work on.

Beset? Felicia? What do you think?
