Free Hand History Review

John A · May 14, 2013

I'm going to take a couple of hand histories at a time, and do a video review of them to post online. If you're interested in having a hand reviewed, please PM or post in this thread with the ORIGINAL unconverted hand history from the site you're playing on. I will remove all names from the history to protect the innocent.

Little bit about me... I'm a mid-stake regular with a post black friday winrate of over 8bb/100 at 2/4nl 6-max in large samples (over 300k hands). I've played as high as 10/20 in decent samples online, and I've recently played as low as 50-200nl for a honeymoon challenge, see thread:

Awesome man. I'll be posting HH as soon as I get home.

micalupagoo · May 14, 2013

very kind offer
you just doing cash or stt/mtts too??
will enjoy watching your video

John A · May 14, 2013

I think it will be fun, good learning for me and everyone, and I get to make a video. Everyone wins. Unless of course my advice sucks and I turn you into a bad poker player. Life's a gamble...

Just cash games right now. I don't play many MTT's etc... lately.

MadMaddie · May 15, 2013

This is a very nice offer. I will not be submitting any hands because I just play tournaments for now but I would still be interested in watching the video and I might try to play the cash tables again some day.

At some point I'll do an MTT also, but my best game is cash right now simply because it's the most convenient thing for me to play w/ 2 kids. I haven't even played or cashed in a wsop event in over 3 years now, and doubtful I'll play this year since I'm getting married in a few weeks.. yea for me!

Any ways, I have a couple of hands so far, looking for me. I promise it will be one of the most thorough analysis of a situation you'll see.

TheKid84 · May 15, 2013

This is pretty sweet and nice of you...

Cash is my crutch big time... I look forward to hearing what goes on in the minds of the cash adequate

Yes, definitely. Like I said it will be fun. Everyone gets to learn something including me.

I'll leave it open for one more day and then I'm going to just take what I have. Need more hands though...

Are you only looking for NL cash or PLO cash or what exactly?

John A · May 15, 2013

Cash NL, and then maybe PLO next.

how to change this? the hand history for merge is from a file in hand history folder.<-- i don't know how to open and copy paste the original file content to PM...

I mean I could export this hand from PT4 or HM2 into txt files

does that work for PM? thanks

well I'm doing terrible on hands that go to showdown (my 6max redline is +140BB over ~900 hands right now but my greenline is -365 over ~300 hands

), so I'll show you a couple of those.

Ya, I think if you export it, I can import it ok. Try that and then PM it to me.

I open-raise the button pretty wide because I'm somewhat confident in my postflop play and I minraise, which forces people to show up with a wider range and miss a lot so I take it down post (and it works -- the button is my most profitable position in multihanded play). Then otf, I fired half pot hoping to take it down after everybody checked -- it was a limped pot, no one gives a shit about limped pots, plus a half-pot bluff only needs to work 1/3 of the time to turn a profit so my half-pot range has a shit ton of air. Turn improves me to bottom pair (lol) so I just check it through, then the river gives me two-pair and completes a flush, I bet and call a check-raise because... I dunno, I guess because it was like half-pot and he could be bluffing or have worse sometimes?

was that ok?

Flop was a quick bluff expecting to take it down right there because people miss and fold a ton on paired boards, then turned it into a 2-barrel semibluff when I turned a gutter, then when the river bricked I just gave it up.

No, I need the hand that is directly from the site. So whatever database you're using downloads poker hands from the site, imports them, and then stores them in a directory. All that info is present in your database when you go to auto import hand folders. It will tell you the original and archived directories.
