Thanks to RB for putting the huge majority of post together:
Posting hands for maximum feedback
1: One hand per thread
- Posting one hand for discussion per thread will ensure that hand gets the focus aimed for, along with keeps the thread on one topic and clutter free. Exceptions can be made where you've a few hands you want to discuss that involve the same player/villain or that run on a similar theme.
2: Convert all online hands
- Converting your hands makes them easy to read and will display all the relevant information regarding action, stack sizes, bet sizes etc.

3: For live hands, please post all details in an easy to read format making sure to include all relevant information (in addition to the points contained in 4 below):
Relevant information includes (but not limited to):
Relevant Positions of Hero and Villains;
Stack Sizes;
Any history or reads between the players;
Action that has taken place thus far, upto the point where you want discussion on; Include action on all previous streets;
Be as accurate as you can be.
Example:
~$20,000t (Me - UTG+1)
~$15,000t (Villain1 - CO)
~$7,000 t (Villain2 - BTN)
Blinds 100/200
I've AKs
I open to 500, folds to Villain1 who raises to 1300, Villain2 goes all in for 7,000, folds back to me..action?
4: Try to include as much relevant information as possible
- If you have stats on the player, such as VPIP/PFR/AF/any other stats relevant (such as 3-bet% when dealing in with a hand thats been 3-bet)
-If you've history directly with the player, if he's 3-bet you before and shown down something marginal etc
-How you have been playing, your perceived image at the table, the villains image
-What your own thoughts on the hand/his range/etc are.
5: When posting a hand, try to not post the results or insinutate the result of the hand in your language
-To make sure the advice you are given is completely unbiased,try to ensure that you don't give away the result of the hand.
An example of this would be "Easy fold, right?" as the title
-Of course, posting the actual results will not receive unbiased advice.
On that note, when discussing hands, try to not be result orientated i.e just because you won the hand, does not mean you played it perfectly and you should be open to suggestions on how you could have played it better and not shoot them down immediately.
