Organized sweat sessions for all

I don't know if anyone would be interested, but I figured I'd give it a try. I was hoping that people could post up here whether they'd like to give or get a sweat session. I'm sure there are a few people out there who'd like to do some and this may make it easier for people to schedule/set them up. I know I wouldn't mind watching/being watched a time or two.

I wouldn't mind being sweated and analyzed, but I'd rather not know about it beforehand. The pressure of knowing I was being critiqued would probably distract and throw me off and cause me to play differently (which might not be a bad thing, but the whole point is to critique the way I *normally* play).

I've forgotten how to play ring apparently, since my recent string of successes in MTT/SnG play. Every time I try to return to my 50NL game on FT, I spew and leave down for the session. Don't seem to have the same problem with 50NL on PS, where I do much better. But my tourney game is much better on FT, so go figure. Maybe I need somebody to watch me play 50NL.

Another approach is screen-recording a session and then posting it in the strategy forum for people to download/watch. This avoids the scheduling and pressure issues, while allowing interested folks to watch at their convenience. This is a done a lot in the strategy forum and there are posts there with tips and instructions on doing so. I've been meaning to do this for awhile but have not taken the time yet.

I'm willing to do either.

I can do teamviewer (preferred), video or hand history.

I mostly play 2nl - 25nl, but have also started playing 2plo-10plo and some 0.05/0.10 stud/8 - 0.25/0.50 stud/8

pm me your (or ask me for my) skype or msn messenger ID

I'm looking to do this to improve my game and help other improve theirs.

I'm definitly gunna start recording some of my sessions. Some to put up here, some for my little blog, and then some just for my own review. I really need to start posting more of my hands up here in HA section too.

You mean collaborating on moves in a real game, whether the player or coach. Borderline, but often done. We can talk thru a few hands in real time if u like, but I am no expert, and some of the experts who did this before at CC are BANNED.

Bit o history for ya...

BTW get yr teeth fixed.

Don't think he meant walking him through the hands

I'd be willing to be sweat/sweat someone. Weekends work better for me

How do u play a table, two people talking, without walking thru the hands?

I am open to this also, just commenting on the obvious... will coach anyone for 10% of their hourly take at my hand (he he he he he).

Am not ragging this idea, just pointing out a few things. I am often available to talk, see my sig.

We're talking sweating or railbirding, not coaching. AFAIK there's no talking at all, just observation, and feedback given later on the forum or e-mail or whatever.

yea. like what dmorris said. If you see something that they do you don't like or whatever, after the hand you could just point out a different way of playing it and why. Just advice after hands basically, hope that helps

Am playing 10NL 6-max at FTP. Looking for someone to sweat me tomorrow evening UTC/GMT-8 starting about 5-6pm. Anyone interested in sweating me?

So is anyone interested in this?

Feel free to add me to MSN messanger ID:ke4wio(at)hotmail(dot)com

Please refer to cardschat in your intro message or you will probably be rejected. I play up to 25nlhe, plus some other games.

It wouldn't hurt to pm me here also.
