Good idea, but not <10NL please. It could turn into too much of a donkfest imo.

Also, I thought it was quite a lot of work to do this for the person commentating. Wasn't there a game on here some months ago that zach or bw were supposed to do the same to, but didn't ?

We could also maybe have a monthly cash game or SNG for us micro guys to play in maybe a $2/5 buy in game between us to keep us together?

Dont know if CC could set one up for us?

This would work, but I don't have a b/r on stars or tilt. Only UB. So how could we work that?

Maybe get some one that plays both PS and UB to do a trade with u?
Nothing big just so u can afford the buy-in and a couple reloads🙂

ATM my b/r can't afford a trade, even for a low buy in tourney. You have to leave $25 on UB after a transfer. But I'll try to get it up there where I can do this.

P.S. I love the idea though.

I wasn't referring to making a video. Just put all the hand histories together and let it be downloadable for everyone to view. Then everyone can ask why certain people did whatever they did. If someone wanted to make a video, all the better.

Also, the stakes shouldn't matter, and the lower the better, imo. That way more people, and particularly the ones that need it most can get involved.

Have to agree with this. Just have to try make sure every is gonna play there normal game even if the stakes might be lower and it doesnt turn into the standard CC drunk 2NL game.

+ if its 5NL or w/e we will have some deep stack action cause of the 200BB max buy-in for thouse tables.

IF everyone is playing their normal game, there won't be any deepstack buying in 🙂 Thus no more deepstack play than on a 100BB max table.

Welcome to the thread dude, feel free to ask about anything in here, thats what this thread is all about.

Its the thing about having big giant threads like this one, is that maybe it should be started over again monthly just like the monthly chat thread. Its 28 pages long at the moment and to be honest its a little intimidating for a n00b on the forums to trawl though all that.

I think Jag's idea also has great merit, getting some discussion threads started on specific examples posted here would be great.

Actually Liam, I sort of agree, but disagree 😛. I have been thinking about this for a while. Basically we have a continuous thread with some great stuff in it. This thread would actually drop off if we start a new once each month, and potentially new members might miss some stuff. On the other hand it is getting long and it may get a little cumbersome! IDK I'm a little torn on this one.

Another point, I think when I thought about discussing a certain topic (maybe on a weekly basis or something) my initial thoughts was that it would be started in here and it would be kept for prosperity. But if we started new threads for each particular topic, it eventually gets dropped off. Anyways, what does everyone else think?

Why don't we try setting up a weekly game? It can alternate between FR and 6-max every week. Everyone can send their HH's to one person who combines them in to one HH file so everyone can watch the replay with all hole cards revealed so we can all comment on each other's play.

Yeah we have doen this a few times before actually and had some good fun in the process. Basically someone collates all the HH's, puts them in PT£ or HEM and records a video with their analysis of it. Good fun imo.

Cross posting a link I think is the best idea and here is why. If you are a newb to this thread, as we progress through topics, if is kept in this thread it will start getting confusing as we will be discussing reverse implied odds then someboday might come back with a question about implied odds we discussed the week before and there will be no good logical flow to the ideas. Just my thoughts fwiw.

Send to Jagsti for a video review. 🙂
 
I think we should start a new thread and only put links to stuff we want to to discuss. That way, when a newb comes in we can reference that thread that will in turn reference all the good threads. That's my opinion.

Anyway, wanted some feedback on this hand.
 
Hey, i've seen a lot of people say things like, my strategy for moving up a limit is a 30/20 buyin strategy, ummmm now that i'm approaching the point where i can think about moving up, what does the whole 30/20 thing mean and whats a good strategy to use when moving up???

first number is the number of buy-ins (of the higher limit) above which you need to move up. Second number is the number of buy-ins below which you move back down.

30/20 is too much of a spread, imo. Go for 25/20 or 30/25.
 
What happens if you're playing for 2 months at the limit but never going higher than 25 and not going lower than 20 ?

Thanks to a cleared reload bonus I should add.

Hey guys. Mostly a 10NL player and am looking to build a BR to attack 25NL. Will start posting some stuff here, seems like a cool thread.

You change things to your game to try to make it evolve.

For instance, you can try to put specific goals on your sessions about the things you want to improve. Like you want to try to play a super tight 9/9 style and see how it works. Or you want to open-raise 100% of your hands on the BTN when it's folded to you. Or you decide that you will avoid playing out of position at all cost, so you can only raise or fold but never call a player whose raise would put you OOP postflop. Or you want to cbet 100% in position. Or ...

None of these are probably optimal, but they are all exagerations of the elements of a good overall strategy. By focusing on them one by one, you can figure out how they each affect your game.
 
Don't forget, before moving up it's generally a wise move to only move up when your actually beating the level your at over a decent sample. Dont take the 30/20, 30/25 too literally. I mean some players can actually make improvement and get away with actually missing a level so to speak. But in general get a decent winrate at your current level, then consider using the move up/down ratio.

Ok so just too make sure i've understood this, i might move up to 10nl when i get to $250 and if i ever drop below $200 i would move back down to 5nl, or is it 25(buyins@10nl) / 20(buyins@5nl) in which case i move up when i get to $250 but move down if i ever drop back down as low as $100, the latter seems more sensible but i just want to make sure.

I think i will use a 25/20 strategy for 10nl but any other limits above will be 30/25 just for a bit of extra safety

how about this weekend we get a full table of 2NL-25NL(doesnt really matter) CC players and make that video ds was talking about?

I'm very interested, though time zone challenged - I'm 12 or 13 hours ahead of EST - if someone could volunteer to act as a coordinator and identify a time/site, it'd be easier for me to be available at what would be an odd hour for me if I know in advance... 😛

It actually refers to the former. So if you move up at $250 you'd move down at $200. Then you build back to $250 and start again.

im just guessing but something like 5ET on a saturday/sunday would be best,that way its not to late for us euros and its middle of the afternoon for the US crowd...
But like i said im just guessing since we havent deacited anything and when/if we do this we will defenatly talk to every one that are gonna play to find the best time.
