I better explain the title lol. I saw a video posted by Dorkus Malorkus where people agreed to reveal their' holecards after a tourni. I think this would be a geat way to learn. Is there any way I can get involved in some of these if they are going or any other suggestions on how to get this fairly?

I think that you'll have a hard time finding people who want to reveal their way of playing, especially if it has to be online.
If it's live, then it's a whole different matter.
But I don't think that you will learn a lot from it, it will only show you if your read was correct or not, and according to me, that's not something you can use when you're playing a tournament where your opponents won't show their cards.

Of course, we all think differently so maybe you will learn something from it, the above is just my point of view :)

Regards!

I'm not sure how you learn much more general poker information by playing than by watching. In the videos (there are two separate games, as well as one for cash games done by ChuckTs) Dorkus is discussing general poker strategy for a sit and go assuming decent opponents.

If you want your own game critiqued you should just find someone to review some hand histories for you. Getting those hands up videos organized took a lot of work and a fair amount of trust amongst long-ish standing members.

good idea...but all hands would need to be shown..even preflop folds

the only problem is people might not play their normal game...

What we recently did over at DTB was get a group together to play a small private game -- I think we had 12 or 14 players. Afterwards everyone emailed me their HHs, and I wrote a little program to merge all holecard data into one master HH. Greg Jones/zerosum79, a SnG coach over there, then made a video with commentary of running through the merged HH with a replayer. This captured everyone's holecards whether folded or not, and is a great group coaching tool. I think that was the second one they had done, but was the first for me. Greg had manually merged in the holecards the first time, which is quite tedious, but with the tool I wrote it's a lot easier now, so we expect to do more in the future.

I offered up the use of the tool here in the event we wanted to do something similar here at CC, and see if Greg or one of the other coaches that visit here would do the review. Or even one of our own stronger CC players for that matter -- we have several that are more than qualified.

I just happen to have all of the HH's from the final table of the CC championship game in 2007. If anyone wants to create something with them that would be awesome:)
