Good post. Polite too .
I think the biggest problem with this forum as far as your argument goes is when people post 1 line answers to questions with no reasoning behind them at all.
"push the turn" is a fairly useless piece of advice unless there are some clues as to what similar situations we should also be pushing the turn, and the similar but not quite the same situations that we should definatly not be pushing the turn.
Rather than just giving the recipe for the desired action it would be far more helpful to post the some of the thoughts and resoning behind your decision and then maybe even let the original poster work it out for themselves with you leading them there.
Even worse is the dreaded "fold preflop". If ive raised 75s UTG and got into trouble with it later then by all means tell me you usually fold it preflop. But dont ONLY tell me you usually fold it preflop. If im in trouble on the turn/ river and you make a 2 word post saying "fold preflop" then thats almost worthless to me.
Far better would be to say "I usually fold preflop because ... but as played i would .... because ....".
Rather than one person trying to answer every single new post it would be much better if you tried to answer a few a day (or every couple of days) but really put some effort into giving the reasoning. Its very rare in poker that the exact same situation will come up twice against the exact same player so posting actions without reasons is almost valueless.
Ive been thinking of making a post like this for a while but this seems like a sensible place to put it.
