What buyin are you playing?

If I were you I wouldn't necessarily look towards the top buyin players. At each level there are players who have played a lot with very high ROIs. One of these players will probably be just as good for you and will probably be a lot cheaper than someone who is making $200/hr playing.

I get people mixed up sometimes but...

Lorinda for sure.

I'm not sure about the rest. I get people mixed up. I think 45suited and IC5 have played a ton of $11s and have done really well. Maybe lastchance too? Someone posted a while back about 38 or 39% ROI over thousands, but I'm not sure who.

Well I'm pretty sure Lorinda is playing above those limits (or some other form of poker....given the MIA on the forum)...but, yes, Lorinda is probably the best low limit STT player ever (IMO of course).

With the caveat that I kind of suck at poker, I am currently looking over the HHs of a player struggling at the 11s. I would look over another one or two players' HHs for free.

I would never charge people for this since A) I'm not very good admittedly and B) Almost everything that I've learned has been either through trial and error or for free off this forum.

Personally, I would pay to belong to this forum. If I ever meet Curtains, Lorinda, NegativeEV, Adanthar, etc... I would buy them a round of drinks for how much they've helped me without even knowing it.

FWIW, I think that by simply staying out of trouble early (avoiding hands like AQo UTG+1 in level 1 that better players would know how to play properly), avoiding FPS, and good bubble play alone could make anyone a 20% ROI performer on the 11s. Lorinda once wrote that 40% was attainable on the 11s. At one time, I thought that she was wrong, but I firmly believe now that she is right. (Only problem is anyone close to this figure would move up.)

I also think that a good thing to do would be to swap HHs with someone at or near your level.

as i have stated in other threads previously, people would be surprised how little i would charge to look over a few hand histories.

however, there was some sort of thing going on for a 22-33 study grou, if i recall correctly, and while that doesn't necessarilly give you things from the vantage point of a 215s winner, it does give you a good framework for studying with people currently playing in the same games.

I think it depends on the player, if curtains or raptor want to revew 10 of my tournament historys and fix some holes in my game I would have no problem giving them 50$ or so. However if it was citanul I would'nt be able to pay him anything, so really this is all player dependent.

In all honesty, having someone look at my hhs is by far the best move i have ever made. I have now had two people from this forum review a number of my hhs, and i have personally reviewed another member's hhs. All have been for some sort of financial gain, and all have been worth every penny.
