one thing i think should be considered is not only how us noobs ask to be taught (i.e. "show me how to play xx in this situation") but also how we are taught. I see alot of responses to hh in which people say, bet x amount, fold, raise.......and not alot of "why did you take the action you took?" or "what kind of player is he?" After all, if we are to grow as poker players, we need to learn how to play people in situations as well as the cards, correct? Imho, i would think there should be a standard guideline for posting hh's, for example including more than just x/x/x. If you are playing against a tagg that never folds to c-bets, and in fact rr's alot, you would play the hand differently than a tagg that folds to c-bets 80% of the time. Telling someone that posts a hh to bet x amount could lessen EV and, in fact, teach him wrong. Asking for more info, i would think, would teach people to look for more info, and advance the learning exponentially, as well as help to understand why they are supposed to play a hand in a certain way
