Meeting of the minds....

[Mike Gallo]

For about the past month a few of the posters have gotten together for a "training? session. I started the inaugural session however the last few poster Gonores has started.

I have read from several posters that they gained nothing from these sessions.

I wanted to start the training sessions so I can "practice" playing against solid players at .50-1.00.
It will cost less than playing against the same players in their natural habitat of 10-20 and above.

I invite anyone intersted to attend however, watch the game before you join. You will see plays that might look completely bizarre, that actually make sense. That does not mean capping with A 3 offsuit in a multi way pot.

I advise all to get the hand histories and post hands that stump you.

Gonores, you have done a fine job of starting the table, so I will bestow the honor to you from this day forward.

There is much to learn if people take the time to post the hands here afterward. If you just go to the table to make small talk, that's pretty much all you'll get from it.

Aside from BigEndian, I think myself and one other person posted a hand from the last game. I was only there for a 20 minutes, but I saw several errors, especially around attacking and defending blinds.

It's very hard to chat during the session, because the chat box is too small.

When are you guys playing? I will be funding my party account on Tuesday I might be up for some of this [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I would like more info about this for sure [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Mike

Thanks MG

A few specifics:

I try to start the table on Tuesdays around 6:30pm EST, on Party Poker (depending on how detained I am at my class, it may start a few minutes late). If demand dictates, we will start a second table.

Table Name: Dougiefresh1's Private Table
Password: twoplustwo
Stakes: $.5/$1

These hold constant each week.

There is no shame in just sitting down with a few bucks or playing for a just few hands if a big loss from the 2+2 table would damage your bankroll. Railbirds are welcome too.

If you can hold your own at this table for a good length of time, you have my personal endorsement to play $3/$6, assuming a proper bankroll.

In which forum should we post our hands? I'm sort of worried about misleading impressionable newbies.

Ask Mason if we can start a new forum called the Danger Room.

Seriously I think we should continue posting in the small stakes section.

Title the posts.from the Two Plus Two table.

Will Magic posters a hand he played againt me. I posted a hand I believe.

If you see an error, you can feel free to post the hand.

Everyone will benefit if you utilize everyones opinions.

Yeah, yours and Will Magic's hands were the other hand I remember reading about. But there were lots of people there. It was disappointing to see so few posts the next day!

I won't post other people's errors, though. That's not cool.

I will see you guys there tomorrow schedule permitting. Make sure you bring some extra money [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] (to lend me when I bust out)

Please post my errors...seriously.

I have no feelings, and would rather not be ignorant of my poor play. I'm here to learn, not to have my ego stroked.

Since my hiatus, I feel so completely inept at this game that I don't even know where to start any more. I'm trying to limp my way through to the end of the semester when I will have more time to read, play, think etc.

Maybe we could make an agreement. Something like, "if you play at the 2+2 table, we reserve the right to post your hand and all comments that took place therein."

Then nobody is safe!
