Many of us show up here once every few days or even weeks.
Threads that post results within a day or two or three of the OP lose out on valuable insights from some of the best posters.
The posting of results also takes us away from probabilistically assigning hand ranges, and feeds results-oriented thinking.
It's pretty amazing how much better posters get at hand reading after results are known.
Please wait a while -- perhaps a week, perhaps two, or even NEVER -- before posting results. Results that add valuable information are actually pretty rare.

This sub-forum in particular generates less traffic then other strategy forums in regards to new threads. Frankly, I view this as a positive as it allows for the community to really ponder the hands posted and let them resonate for a bit before offering ones thoughts. And because of this, it incites more thoughtful discussion where posters are spending time putting their thoughts down to be examined, analyzed and ultimately critiqued. Posting results cuts this process short.
If results are never posted, it'd be far better then posting them too early.
