You are posting the wrong hands

offshoot

By posting coolers or bad beats you are holding back your own game because you're learning nothing. If you think the reason you're losing is because your AA got cracked by a set or because someone hit runner runner flush on you, you're wrong. Everyone has to deal with these and some still manage to win consistently. By focusing on these hands you miss the real problems that are preventing you from really improving. 

Think about hands where you checked back river and you had the best hand, could you have bet there and got more chips? post those hands. What about hands where you folded? maybe you folded top pair or had a big draw that you folded, was it the right move? post those hands. i called down with top pair and he had a better kicker, should i have folded? post it and find out. These are the kinda hands that matter. When you get involved in a hand that you dont know what do in click on the Hand History bit and copy and paste the number of the hand so you can post it later.

Dont ever post results!!! only copy and paste upto the point where you had a tricky decision. If you show people the results then their opinion will be based on what the result was more than what the right decision may have been. If you dont post results it will create more discussion. Once the discussion is over you can post the outcome of the hand.

i know alot of this stuff has been said before but it seems like it needs to be said again. If you wanna post bad beats put bad beat in the title of the thread at least so people know theres no strategy in it.

Good post.

The "strategy" section on here is awful.

Lucky if you get one worthwhile thread started a week.

There are far too many bad beat posts here, often thinly disguised as strategy questions. The Poker Clinic seems to have taken over from General Poker Chat as the most popular place to post them.

What we need is new section for bad beat stories, similar to Area 51, and for it to be the only place on the entire forum where bad beats are allowed to be posted. Moderators would have to move any that get sneaked in elsewhere.
