i always would like to recieve criticism to anything i post.
what i don't like is getting called a donkey or people implying that i'm
stupid without giving me a reason for that. i really don't mind if people
tell me i'm a donkey if they tell me what i did wrong AND WHY.

and therefore i agree with you, if i learn something i really don't mind
any flames. but i'm sure some people feel different, but then i don't
think that those could ever get their level of play to anywhere near the
top. i think you learn much more from posting a hand history here that you
think you played well and people give you reasons why you haven't, than
you can from reading a whole book of sklansky. simply because you were
involved in the hand, you know what kinda table it was, you know what
kinda players there were, you were involved in the hand, and so the
information sticks.
