Special place for our best threads

[Dr Fill Good]

I really think we need a 'Best Of Forum' section. A place where new members can go and get a sampling of some of our best hand discussions, most relevant articles about over arching principles, or basically anything I've ever contributed to

I know that there are a few threads I'll send to any prospective players that ask me for tips about how to become a profitable player and this would be a much simpler way to do it.

We've had many inspired threads, this way we wouldn't forget about them.

I think this is an awesome idea as well...

Agreed - definitely a great concept.

Let's start locating these 'best of' threads, and posting their links here...

Gotta love the creativity.

I'll peruse for some more later on. Most of these are from the Poker Room subforum.

Our recent thread of stop/go, push, or standard raise also had a lot of good argument and debate.

I tend to prefer hand analysis with no clear answer, which I think we definitely encountered with that one...

Everyone seems to really like this idea, so I've moved it into it's own thread in the public area.

Next we need to figure out the best way to actually implement this concept. Here are some of the ways I can think of.

1. We could create a completely new forum category called 'Best of BadBeatsPoker', and MOVE all these threads there. The down side to this is that the threads will no longer be located in the place where one would expect to look for them. For example, our best SNG strategy thread could no longer be found in the SNG Strategy category.

2. We could create a completely new forum category called 'Best of BadBeatsPoker', and COPY all these threads there. The down side to this is that the threads would now be duplicated, and any new posts to one of the two threads would only appear in one of the two locations.

3. We could simply 'sticky' each 'Best Of' thread, so that it always appears at the top of it's respective forum category. This approach seems the most logical to me right now.

What do you all think?

[otbdave]

I saw we move all the threads to a new forum, lock the thread so noone can reply, and the last post will be a redirect link to where they can reply.

The purpose is so we can give a single URL to show a prospective user the best of the best. This is why I don't think sticky aligns with this goal.

I think the guy who started the Beating 45's thread is brilliant, and should be paid royalties.
