Depends on the skill level of the player. My GB doesn't have a post and after owning it and playing it for a while you learn to accommodate for the bigger gap. Its a hard game and can be frustrating but I think that gives it staying power in the home, i dont want a game where I can kick its ass easily all the time, boring. The people that constantly dog it need to play it more and learn the nuances, or just plain up their skills and get better.
