1st OF HOPEFULLY A WEEKLY DISSCUSSION/LECTURE SERIES

[STLantny]

Heres the breakdown, lets shoot this up the flag pole and see who salutes it, you know, put the milk out on the stoop and see who laps it up...I would like to start of twoplustwo lectures and/or a QandA sessions about particular topics relating to gambling/poker theories. This would all be down on IRC, for those who dont know, we have a #twoplustwo channel on EFnet. google irc. If anyone has any ideas on getting it together let me know. I will do most of the organization during the day tommorow.

How is this supposed to be better than the 7-days-a-week, 24-hours-a-day forums?

To play devil's advocate, there's some value to real live discussion. I know that I've learned a lot from picking people's brains (Dialbo, Astro) on IRC. If somebody's willing to invest the time, I'd be willing to listen.

[STLantny]

I, personally find, that a live discussion fosters much more debate and presents theory from better angles. But that's me, seeing as you and daryn (on irc) have raised the same concern, Ill scrap the idea unless I get some interest.

[daryn]

yeah.. i have nothing against your idea really.. but i just think it is nothing new. if you want live discussion, just log onto the IRC room and strike up some poker discussion.

if you just randomly go into the IRC channel, you might hear people talking about bruiser getting laid, or anything off topic like that.. but if you bring up some poker strategy question, people will then definitely get interested and start talking it up. just like on 2+2.

you're missing the word "not"!

There's a lot of value in the immediacy (that's spelled wrong) of real-time conversation.

I don't think it's better, but it's a good kind of different.

I'm not sure how a lecture would work. Maybe someone posts an article, and then 3-4 days later there's a set time to discuss it. Q&A would be cool, esp. if we could convince some of the bigger names to find some time.

Can someone explain how you do this? And, how does this differ from posting here?

mike haven posted a great instructional post on how to get on the IRC channel. try doing a search for it... i would do it but i am so inept when it comes to the search function.

Don't scrap it just because I posted a question.
