Have some of the ex posters passed on or quit playing limit? I don't get it. I talk strat with players all the time in live games. I'm sure they'd love to participate in an active forum.
I tried to inject some life into the forum a while back but was told not to post for a few day's. This makes no sense to me on such a low traffic forum. As you can see, we went from about a post a day to nothing. I have since found other more effecient way's to use my study time.
I'm curious if there are others out there who would like to get back to posting, responding, and discussing hands. I'd be willing to do my part.
i think its 2 things
1) people who put in a lot of volume at live limit know most of their player pool, so they very rarely get into a super interesting spot. and often many of these players have access to solvers that could help them figure out the correct answer on their own time. this is why i think you're rarely ever gonna see a 80/160+ hand posted here these days, it just too easily fits this category.
2) you have posters like me who enjoy limit but rarely ever get to play it because it's not spread high enough at their local casinos
so you end up with a lot of hands posted at like 20/40 and 40/80ish level by people most interested in learning and generally against player pools that are less known and more presumed to do wacky things (thus making the hands multiway, more debatable, and less solver friendly)
