I've been thinking about this for a while and have finally decided to go ahead and do something about it.
I've been looking for a way to explain my approach to tournaments. The tricky part is that it is so context specific as to make any written explanation either long-winded and caveat ridden, or so bland as to be meaningless. There is of course no magic trick and with tournaments a big part of success is learning to deal with long periods of failure without getting downhearted, however I do think there's some things I could teach that would help people with their games.
So I've decided to set up some sessions where people can use whatever the software is people use for these things to watch my holecards live during a tourney, while I explain what I'm doing (either voice or MSN depending on what the software allows). If I'm happy with how it works then I might make it a video.
Might also generate some discussion about strategy/hands etc, hence in this forum.
As a bonus and to make it fun, the person railing/sweating will get 5% of anything I win during the tourney up to a max of $100 (minimum $10 if I make the cash).
I not going to do many of these (unless it goes really well and I enjoy it) because I'll have to concentrate on just the tourney and I usually play 6 ring tables in the first few hours and I need/want to clock up the hands. So I don't want to make it first come first served.
Instead, if you are interested please send me a pm with a paragraph or two about your MTT game and anything you'd like to improve/understand better and I'll pick some people that way. Flattery (while nice) won't get you anywhere so please don't feel the need. I'll be honest I'll probably pick people who have been around for a while and I think would get something from talking MTTs for a few hours.
I'll be honest and say that there are two people already on the list. They know who they are.
Of course it's pot luck whether I last 5 minutes or 5 hours, but that in itself is part of what MTTs are about.
The tournies will be the 1415 EST $22 rebuy on Stars which I play most evenings, and I'll arrange the dates with the people I pick. If it goes superwell, then I might do a Sunday warm-up/million as well.
So send a PM with some MTT thoughts if you are interested.
Err... would one of the regular sweat people to point me in the direction of the software I need
