Offer: Hand history review

Okay, there have been a lot of threads lately from micro stakes players talking in generalities (should I play more aggressively? should I play looser?) or straight out complaining about not being able to beat their levels.


So I'm putting out an offer if you're playing 10nl or lower:


1) post in this thread and convince me that you do want to learn, and tell me what you think you have difficulties with
2) if I'm convinced, I'll PM you and give you my email address
3) you email to me 100-200 consective hand histories. I want to get a sense of table dynamics and not just look at what you think are causing you problems
4) I'll review them


Then I'll start a thread containing general comments and some typical hands of yours and what I think has gone wrong with those hands. I want to do this out in the public part of the forum because my answers won't be the only way to play the hands, and I'm hoping some other experienced players will chip in some comments.

After that, it'll be up to you.


And if no serious replies, that's fine. I have other things I can do with my time.

Nice offer. Hopefully someone will take you up on it. Should make for an interesting thread.

Yea, ChuckTS did it for me and some other players years ago. Not to say that I think that I'm in his class now, but there seems to be a lot of micro players who don't know why they're not winning.

Someone needs to take Nine up on this offer, in these troubled times the last thing we need is a Canadian with time on his hands.

Just came across this thread. Sup NineLions.

I'm currently playing 10NL barely beating it at 3bb/100 over 46K hands on Merge.

Would definately love your input on 100 - 200 of my hands and some analysis on your part of where i could improve on. I'm looking to move up to 25NL but think i still have helluva lotta room to improve at 10NL.

I think i have most difficulties with small pp's from any position really. Also huge difficulty with folding KQ and AQ or really any two face cards that are suited to a raise. Lastly my biggest leak is calling to many flop bets, always seem to think the other player is bluffing and that my hand is better.

Welp, would appreciate any of your time dude.

Thanks for reading.

There's always the porn sites, I mean Google, to keep me busy.

Patty, you're overqualified 'cause 1) you're winning, and 2) as far as I know you already ask for advice as opposed to just general complaining.


But this is meant as an exercise for me as well as a discussion starter for the forum in general, so let's give her a go.

I'm hoping that other experts like Kenzie are going to straighten me out when I start giving out bad advice anyways.

Id sure be down -is this cash only, 6max and/or FR?
im 2-5NL with mixed results, but after so many yrs, I need to move up and make some $$$ now
otherwise Ive really been into the 9(-45) man SnGos lately and might just stay with those.
great offer, good luck to all applying

Wow - what an offer. If I were a cash player, I would be all over this.

Folks - ALWAYS take advantage of free learning, if you want to make money in poker. The education proves too expensive if you want to learn everything on your own.

You're better off asking me for help with cash; I play tournies and SnGs to mash buttons while I'm watching TV. I use stack sizes and stats without much attention to any players actions 'cept when it's my turn.

1.) I love to complain
2.) LOL at me being over qualified
3.) Nobody was posting in here, and free advice from you seems like a good deal to me
4.) Don't be a meany
5.) Thanks for doing this (IF YOU EVER GET MY EMAIL, WTF)

OK, I am up for it. You already saw my graph, but since I am getting help elsewhere you may want to do it with someone who has not been given a PZ course, but, still worth asking, I guess.

I can use all the help I can get Since I am laying my dirty laundry out for all to see anyway....lol

In any case, nice of you to offer.

What I have difficulties with? uhhhhhhh, making money??

Man, this was supposed to be for newbs, the ones who complain that they always lose with KK or ask if they should they play more hands 'cause everyone else is winning with garbage.

PattyR's review is up, btw, sorry that it didn't include more hands for general discussion but you weren't making enough mistakes postflop, to my eyes.

fletch, I may take you up on it. I've seen your thread and some of your stats make me curious.

You coulda just told me no bro, lol no biggie at all, like i said this thread was up for like 24 hours or something so i figured id give it a go.

Thanks for doing it though, sorry i wasn't what you were looking for

PattyR PM me and I will add you to my free study group on skype, i myself am not too active in it. But it is a good starting point for small profit players, there is alot of good content and members in that group who are willing to give you tons of free banter on a HH.

If interested just shoot me a personal message with your skype.

I need help

I saw this thread, I know it's old but I will try. I have been playing for a while. I think something is wrong one way or another.....very weird outcomes. I can never bluff in the stakes I'm playing?? Always called. So I play tag, and get rags or bad beat. Please go over my history if possible. Thanks, Jerry
