Names and results in posted hands?

When posting a hand in the poker clinic shouldn't players be encouraged to edit out the names of players in the hand and delete the results? If players want an objective opinion of how they played a hand then showing that the villain had flopped the nuts after calling with a random hand pre-flop is sure to bias the responses. If you want to know whether to call a pre-flop shove then just show the pre-flop action.

Also removing the names and including your own reads on a player will encourage others to rate your play, rather than simply giving out reads that they have on the player.

On other forums this is a big deal and posting results will get you flamed. Why is it not encouraged on this forum?

Yes when posting the players name should be removed

Deleting results isn't much of an issue. If the people responding are affected by the result of the hand, their advice probably isn't up to much anyway.

As for the question of the name; I don't think it's a problem if you're not insulting your opponent or leaving them open to being criticised by others(as I said on the clinic thread). Most of the time naming the player is inconsequential as they're just some randomer that you'll never see again. On the occasions when it's a known player repsondents' own ideas of them are going to affect the advice... but that's part of the game. People talk about other players all the time and share their thoughts on one another.

I don't get what your point is.

Who cares? At the end of the day you can see the play yourself by railing or by being on the table yourself.

If you were playing a hand on TV you wouldn't be able to do anything about it, and when they show games on Mastercash on 861 you have all hole cards and names viewable.

Pretty much agree that hand history should convert it in a set way. Utg, MP, SB, BB etc

if they played a hand bad or they played better against you it dosnt matter if the name is there, as long as you arnt insulting that player. It is a pain if you are posting multiple hands having to go through and xxx the names out too. If a player wants to cover up certain cards for an interesting way of seeing the play i think that would be good also.
