Session Reviews
 

I didn't see any posting of them. Is anyone interested in getting them going? I used to do these for limit and found them very helpful. It's also a good motivator to evaluate your play. If there is enough interest, I could coordinate it.

Re: Session Reviews
 

I'm really interested in exchanging perhaps a 1hr video with someone else with commentary.

If you're interested or if anyone else is intersted post here/pm me. I'll record a 1hr sesh 3 tabling with camtasia.

Re: Session Reviews
 

I think session reviews are more beneficial when reading HH than watching a video. Because you have time between each decision to stop and figure out what you're going to do rather having to have to pause, etc. I also think notes on different streets are more beneficial to read comments as you can go back to each decision more precisely.

Re: Session Reviews
 

Not so sure I agree, you get comments and timing tells from videos that you dont get from a HH - and of course you have a pause button.

I'd certainly watch a video but I'm a bit more unlikely to look through a hundred hands.

Re: Session Reviews
 

So, we can split groups, you can lead the technology group and I can lead the paper group? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Session Reviews
 

I'm going to bed but assuming we have some feedback by the time I wake up it sounds good to me [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

What do you guys think of keeping this open until about 8 tonight and then we pair up so we have something to do tomorrow during the downtime?

Re: Session Reviews
 

Count me in. I play 6max 25nl (and maybe 10nl if i continue to play as horible as i have lately). Thing is i made this exact same post 5 days ago and got no response cause it got insta-locked ldo.

Re: Session Reviews
 

I might aswell be in. I can play whatever level the person I get paired with plays

Re: Session Reviews
 

I'm interested in a HH review (too lazy to make a video).

New NL convert from NL - play mostly 50NL on Absolute.

It looks like NL25-NL50 is going to be the most popular.
The way I'm going to do it is that you review someone's HH and then you get your HH reviewed be someone else. This way you get differing view points. Also, it's highly suggested that you take whatever feedback you get and discuss any unclear points with the commenter.

Re: Session Reviews
 

I'm willing to review a session HH for someone at 10nl, I think it would be interesting. I'm probably not likely to actually play at all today but I could send a session from the 27th.

(I'm willing to do this with any stakes i'm just assuming those playing 25nl+ don't want my advice.)

No, no. Just because someone plays higher doesn't mean that they do everything better than you. Also, using old sessions is fine. Usually ~100 is fine if it's a session. It's highly suggested that you send a session rather than just some hands that you played so that you can give the reviewer a better feel for your reads.

Re: Session Reviews
 

I would be interested in participating. I play mostly 50nl, with a smattering of 100nl and 25nl.

Re: Session Reviews
 

count me in, id like to do a video but i need help with the setting up of the equipment,

Dont assume that. If someone refuses free advice they are a moron. All critisism is helpful to some extent. Plus I need all the help I can get. I have been break even over 50K hands at 10 and 25NL 6 max. Good thing Ive been rocking the HU poker.

Re: Session Reviews
 

I'd like to be part of this too... 10NL here.

Re: Session Reviews
 

I'm down for this too.

And maybe for the ses review - just review the interesting hands for the vid.

One more bump for the late crowd. I'll probably rand() around 7:30 EST.

Re: Session Reviews
 

I'll participate. I'm a 10 NLer since I just cashed out a large portion of my BR

Re: Session Reviews
 

So are we sending raw hand histories or making a PT session review video?

Re: Session Reviews
 

One note for all of you who are discouraged because you play too low. Think about it, if you play NL5 and have the opportunity to have a NL25 player comment, there is a huge chance for learning. The people who get review games lower than your game, remember that there is always room to improve and think about the game. Don't look at a NL10 HH and think "been there done that." Think, "How can I apply what I know now to the games I used to play."

Ask what the other guy wants. If he wants HH to import into PT to review, do that. You can import the HH into Excel to make notes or make notes in a text document.

EDIT: SSLH has some good formating ideas: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showfl...=0#Post12783324

Re: Session Reviews
 

stupid question: will we be reviewing every hand, or just important ones (like a certain number of bb's?) or only ones sent by our swapping partner?

Re: Session Reviews
 

The way I do it is I go through each hand in the session making notes as I go. Usually the session is 80-100 hands. You send person A your HH and you get HH from person B. I recommend that you make notes on person B. Then when you get person A's notes on your session, go through them and discuss with him any thing you don't agree on or post the hand in thread. Person B should do the same with you.

Here's the plan, send a session of 100 or so hands to the person below you. Manbearpig, please send yours to kolotoure. We'll go until the 15th. Then we'll have another sign up and get new partners. Anyone who does not respond will be blacklisted. Good luck guys.

Just send the video to the person below you. You guys can kind of regulate yourselves.

Re: Session Reviews
 

My assumption with a video was that

Player A makes video w/ personal commentary ( optional ) of his own session and exchanges with player B - they watch each others session video and comment via pm/IM/whatever for feedback.

Try and pickout any interesting hands in your exchangees video and talk to each other about why these hands were played the way they were.

That makes sense to me, video people poke me if you think there is a better way.

Re: Session Reviews
 

I'd like to be a part of this too. I play 50nl but I'm very very rusty, so although I'd prefer having a 50nl reg looking over my hands 25nl regs will be fine also

HH pls

Are we only sending one ~100 hand session for the 15 day period? j/w

Re: Session Reviews
 

Presuming it's not too late, I'd like to join in with the video group. I've taken a bit of a sabbatical from cards for the past 2 months, so I'm rusty as all hell. I play a mix of 25NL, 30NL deep, and 50NL.

Re: Session Reviews
 

Cue thanks for setting this up.
Langerz I PMed you about where you want me to send the HHs
stu-unger you also have a PM.
