Message: [QUOTE="nameless1537, post: 5338164, member: 403213"] I think much of what I want to say has already been said, but I will say this. I've been reading many of your posts, and I think that part of the issue is that your posts have been writing about what you think is "the right way" to play poker, and as others have said... it's a subjective thing that takes into account your personality, fears, preferences. We aren't robots. So any time you write something authoritative or an air of expertise as saying "this it the right way of playing poker", it will inevitably rub people the wrong way. If it's written from the perspective of "this has been something that has worked for me", then it acknowledges subjectivity and would have a smaller likelihood of rubbing your readers the wrong way. The other thing I'll say is this: I've found that the posters that I have admired the most and the ones that I have found the most useful have been the ones that apply their thought processes to requests for hand analysis. It's a demonstration of "how to think" rather than "what to think about". It can often give you a glimpse into the mindset of a winning poker player. I've found that the dialogue in the "hand analysis" section of the website to be most helpful in my development as a poker player. I think your posts, while having some truth to it, have been too general to be really helpful and to be honest and is still in the realm of "what to think" rather than "how to think". Better versions of what you've written are available on websites elsewhere, written by people who have a documented track record of success and profitability (which you have not yet demonstrated in here -- it's not to say you haven't been profitable... it's just answering the question "what gives you the right to speak to me as an expert? I want to encourage you to continue sharing your thoughts and opinions because I do believe you have a lot of wisdom to share based on your lengthy history as a poker player. Share some hand histories as examples of principles you want to illustrate, and it'll add more meat to your posts. I'll just suggest that you avoid writing as an expert, and I think you will steer clear of some landmines. And yes, there are still jerks out there -- for that... just ignore them. They are called "trolls" and you can just file them in the "idiot" folder and toss it away upon reading... do not take their comments personally. All the best to you. [/QUOTE]
