If you aren't sure which forum your post belongs in, here is a list:
The goal of posting hands is to gain a better understanding of poker. There are a few things you can do to make sure you get the most out of every hand you post. By following these guidelines, not only does it help you improve faster by getting more out of each posted hand, but it also helps others get more out of the discussion of your hands, so it's better for everyone as a whole if you do the following:
1. Use the HH Converter. Using the converter makes it a lot easier to read your hand in the bulletin board format, so you're more likely to have people reply to your thread. It also makes it less likely that people misread what went on in your hand, which can only lead to confusion.
2. Give any stats or reads on the opponents in question. This includes any table image you may have as well. So many decisions in poker come down to our opponents' tendencies and what our opponents think of us at any given time, so if you don't post this information, you will rarely get good replies since it's often too difficult to determine what the best course of action is if you're only given the hand history and nothing else. As a result of posting stats and reads, you will get better replies, which will increase the benefit you receive from posting hands.
3. Don't show the results of the hand. This includes whatever action you took during the decision you're asking about. For example, instead of setting up a question like "Should I have called on the river here?" you should edit out your decision on that street and the result of the hand and ask something like "Is a call +EV here, or should I just fold?" If you post results, you skew the replies you get and the type of advice you can get in the hand, which will severely lower the potential for growth you have in posting any single particular hand. |

Another note about posting: please try to make your title or subject as informative as possible. "Am I a donk" or "HELP ME" are not good titles. "4 bet ai pf with QQ vs nit? - 25NL FR" is a little more helpful.
Please do not reply in this thread. If you have a question, feel free to start a new thread and spoonitnow will edit his post if he wants to change something.
