POTY nominee
http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...=607761#607761
ThizzSantCruz with i think the best in posts lately. Nothing like an "I'm Stupid" post, where you are actually stupid.
Poster of the year.
ISF. He's just doing so much. He's brought more content to the forums than most, and without him and Massimo, there would be no Sauce.

Best poster is probably sauce or ISF for posting a hell of alot of useful stuff that makes me think in new ways.
sauce probably edges it though.

I think best poster would be ISF. Obviously Gabe and Sauce are more "right" when they post, but ISF is doing a real good job of putting applicable game theory into words. Kinda like Lukie before he disappeared from the strategy community.

I'm going with Renton. His comments on all hand history posts are extremely helpful and insightful.
POTY has to been one of the pics in the cooking thread but I can't decide which.

I'm still pretty new here, but post the best post I've seen is Jishu's:
http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...ic.php?t=53454
I'm not sure who my poster of the year is, but I think i get the most from ISF, Renton, and taipan.

Taipan poster of the year, and it's not even close. Well, the Steinberg twins deserve a lot of kudos for their willingness to learn and discuss, Sauce and Renton too, but Tai's combination of near-flawless strategy, helpfulness and friendliness makes him probably the single most valuable poster FTR has.

is this for actual poker or the community or overall?
Poker poster - i would have to go ISF because of the time he puts into his explanations and also clarity. (btw i pretty much only read SHNL).
Community Poster - thats a little tougher, but i will go with flomo here, but gmml is a close second. some funny shit guys, keep it up.

Lots of agreement on who's in the running for poster of the year here.
Tai, ISF, Sauce, Renton...RESPEK!!!
I'll compile the noms into a poll (I'll keep it open for new nominees). As for best post, keep digging guys. It looks like sentiment is leaning to funny...

That quoted: He(and Mass) stimulate meaningful discussion more than anyone else on the forums. ISF's got my vote.
POTY requires deeper thought, but Jishu's ball shaving thread ranks up there for pure unadulterated laughs.

I absolutely refuse to vote for anyone who plays SNGs, sorry, but I do not promote masochistic behavior.
SantaCruz's one single post is the funniest thing I've read all year, I'd vote for him if he was on the list. As is, you gots to add Jishuu for both ball-shaving and ass-whiping.
Why gmml is on there I have no idea

spenda, are you nominating someone or just bellyaching?
there is a distinction between "post" of the year and "poster"
gmml was nominated for "poster"
we'll do another poll for "post"

I suck at remembering old posts so I'm not gonna nominate one.

i like this idea
it is easier to remember threads over indivdual posts
and i think splitting out the commune is also a good idea
i do like spoonit's "am i gay?" thread, for a commune thread
thank you for the nomination and the vote
and yes i'm a dick, vote #2 for me from me

mebbe go the other way and start a "Strat thread of the year" thread, gabe, cause most posts so far are commune or could-be-in-the-commune type posts. Seems everyone like funny...
