What's the point of these posts?You aren't supposed to be stupid, or at least I didn't think you were until I read these (above) posts. At least try to prove otherwise. All evidence, so far, is to the contrary.What is the point of:"The flop is ."or"The flop is , the turn is the , the river is the , and . . ."or"The turn is the , but the spikes on the river, making . . ."as well as the pure genius of:"SeidelChrisanthopoulos "Seidel what? Christanthopoulos what?The flop is what? And what spikes on the river?Surely you are able to read, and it doesn't take much to review a post before clicking that little button and sending it to the forum. You cannot deny the uselessness of any of these posts. The only piece of information that is of any use in most of these is the header, where applicable, and the occasional chip count. The hand and card information isn't even there! How did you not notice this the first however-many times, or the next however-many times, or the times after that.If you think this criticism unfair, then review your posts for the past week or so. Your genius is shown there each and every time. You cause nothing but frustration at providing next to no useful information with your ineffective "cut-and-paste" efforts.Sure, we can all go the to relevant page on the "Live Reporting" and try to search out the relevant post to compare that with what you have here, but there are many who have no access to that site. At least make a decent effort. This is not it.You insist on imposing yourself and proselytising and then you come up with this rubbish! Really!You can do better.BFB
