Coaching (partner) post for Micros
They are doing this in HUSH and I thought it was pretty cool, didnt see it posted anywhere here so I thought I'd start one. Here's the original:
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...14&fpart=1 I think this could do a lot of good for Micro-players like myself. Id say getting a list together in here and then just PMing whoever you want to pair off with. Each person should probably only have one partner. I think each team could agree on a set amount of hands per day/week for review, import to PT and go from there. Maybe we can set up some sort of team BB/100 challenge for a week or something too, for bragging rights. I'm at Absolute .50/1 and 1/2 6max if anyone's interested. |
Re: Coaching (partner) post for Micros
I had this exact same idea but decided not to post it haha.
Im definitely in, but only really know 6max and SH. Still, wouldnt mind learning FR. I play .5/1 and 1/2 levels. |
Re: Coaching (partner) post for Micros
I also like this idea. I am currently playing .5/1 right now and dipping into 1/2 six max at party.
|
Re: Coaching (partner) post for Micros
Cool this is a start. Ill check this tomorrow and PM a few people, Im sure I'll have a couple of PM's as well. If this takes off I'll put some sort of guidelines for a "team competition" using an average BB/100 between the 2 every week/2weeks. I really hope this takes off, I think its a good concept.

Re: Coaching (partner) post for Micros
this is an excellent idea. as soon as i get back to the states and settled in (late Nov.) count me in.

Re: Coaching (partner) post for Micros
Guys, can you structure your posts similar to this?
Stakes:.50/1 Sites: Party Beginners, PokerStars TimeZone: London, England. GMT 0:00 Bankroll:$700 Will coach:Anyone wanting me to coach them. Want to be coached by 1/2 players and up please. History: Started with $20 deposit playing .02/.04 which i withdraw once making $20 profit. Gone through .02/.04>.05/.10>.10/.20> .25/.50>.50/1 and will move onto 1/2 once i've re-read SSH and fixed major leaks. Ahhh doesnt that look neat :P? |
Re: Coaching (partner) post for Micros
I'm also interested. I've played 0.02/0.04 through 1/2. I'm currently at 1/2 6-max and would love some discussion over my recently crappy play.

Re: Coaching (partner) post for Micros
Stakes: 1/2 beginners, 2/4
Sites: Party TimeZone: EST Will coach:Anyone wanting me to coach them. Want to be coached by 3/6 full players and up. History: Started with $10 deposit playing .05/.10 at Royal Vegas. Went through .05/.10>.10/.20>.25/.50> .50/1>1/2 + 2/4 at Prima, Empire, and Casino.net. I'm looking to move permanently to 2/4 soon after getting my 300BB plus a little padding (around 400BB). |

[ QUOTE ] my recently crappy play. [/ QUOTE ] Yeah right dude. What's up? [/ QUOTE ] A combination of being variance's bitch at 1/2 6-max, and a slew of poor calls. It's amazing how 1-2 BB's here and there really adds up. It makes a -20BB session into a -40BB session pretty quickly. I'm still at 2+ BB/100, so I can't complain. Just playing a bit loosely and losing some big hands lately. |
Re: Coaching (partner) post for Micros
Stakes :.50/1
Sites : Empire/Eurobet/Party Timezone : PST Will coach:Anyone wanting me to coach them. Want to be coached by 1/2 players and up. History : Started with 5 dollars that Pacific gave me. Played the micro limits there. Got a little bored of limit and moved to NL. Played NL 25 at Eurobet. Got bored of NL cash games. Played a few hundred 11's with good ROI but didnt like the robot like action of it. Moved back to limit and have been playing the micro 6 max games, 0.5/1 and 1/2. Would be a level or two higher if I could limit the amount of time I spent on here when im drunk. |

Re: Coaching (partner) post for Micros
Stakes:.50/1, sometimes 1/2
Sites: mostly PStars and Party TimezoneEST Want to be coached by:see below HistoryStarted with $90 on PStars, playing .25/.50. Worked this up to $200 and started whoring, working it up to around $500 which is where I am at now. Have played 1/2 a few times with moderate success, but not ready to move up full time yet. Don't even need a coach per se(though it would be nice), just someone to talk hands histories over with. Just someone that will make me think about hands that I might see as "routine" and someone else might not. PM if this sounds good:) |
Re: Coaching (partner) post for Micros
I am about to go to 1/2 6 max for about 15k hands.
Would love someone to have sweat sessions/ play along with. I will coach anyone .50/1 and under, and would like a partner for 6 max. |
Re: Coaching (partner) post for Micros
Stakes: .5/1, ready to try 1/2, mostly 6-max
Sites: Party and PokerStars Time Zone: Pacific Will Coach: Anyone interested Want to Be Coached By: 1/2 or higher, 6-max player History: Didn't really start playing until May, since then 3.25 BB/100 on Party .5/1 over 12.5k hands, split pretty evenly between full (at first) and six-max (more recent). Poker time comes in spurts. Had to take a couple weeks off (vacation [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]), and now have to catch back up at work [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img], but was going to give 1/2 a shot. Maybe I'll wait until I get some feedback on my .5/1 game, though. I already think that I don't get away from enough hands! Volume of hands I play is likely to be only a few hundred a week, and I'm not able to commit to reviewing a large volume of someone else's, either, but would still love to partner up. |
Re: Coaching (partner) post for Micros
A new post as everyone seems to be conforming...
Stakes: 1/2 6-max Sites: Party and Absolute TimeZone: CST Bankroll: Why is this important? ~$1k now. Will coach: Anyone interested. Want to be coached by: Looking for hand discussion really. Preferably someone with 6-max experience at 1/2 or higher. History: Also started at 0.02/0.04, building my bankroll. I moved to 1/2 a month ago, and I'm playing exclusively 6-max. I feel a bit lost in a lot of situations. |
Re: Coaching (partner) post for Micros
Stakes : 2/4, 3/6 6-max
Sites : Party / Absolute / Stars TimeZone : EST Bankroll enough Will coach: Want to be coached by: Looking for hand discussion really. Maybe trade some hand histories, or sweat some tables. History : Began playing .10/.20 1.5 years ago. Got serious about poker about 8 months ago. Have always played poker (various games). |
Re: Coaching (partner) post for Micros
Stakes: 2/4 6 max
Sites: Crypto/Absolute/Party Time Zone: CST Will Coach: Anyone interested Want to be coached by: Anyone playing 1/2 or above 6max History Have always played poker but got serious about 1.5 years ago. Before that just the occasional Casino boat/Vegas trip. |
Re: Coaching (partner) post for Micros
If someone wants to talk over AIM about random hands, that would be best for me. Nothing intensive like swapping huge HH files yet.
Stakes: 3/6 short Sites: Party, skins TimeZone: Eastern Standard (US) Bankroll: More than yours Will coach: I prefer conversations. Want to be coached by 3/6 short and up. History: Moved up from .5/1, 1/2, 1/2 short, 2/4. Beat .5/1, 1/2 for 3 bb/100 over 10k. 1/2 short was like 4.5 bb/100 over 7k?. 2/4 was 2 bb/100 over 15k hands. I don't need a "coach" per se (I already pay Joe Tall when I need a coach). I'd just want someone with whom I can talk about confusing hands and vice versa. John |

Re: Coaching (partner) post for Micros
I am trying to learn 6max and will be starting at 1/2 on Empire and Party this month. If anyone would be willing to help me out that would be awesome, or if anyone that is beating up 1/2 full and is trying to learn 6max maybe we could talk about hands or strategy or whatever.
Stakes: 1/2 full, trying 6max Sites: Party, skins TimeZone: Eastern Standard (US) Bankroll: $5000 History: Used to play NL ring games, SNGs and MTT's. Around Feb started playing .5/1 LHE 4 tabling to clear bonuses. May started 4 tabling 1/2 seriously. Have played 54K hands since @ 3BB/100. Basically have gotten crushed at 2/4 and 3/6. |
Re: Coaching (partner) post for Micros
This is going better than expected!
I'd say that as soon as some sort of "partership" (wow that sounds uber-gay) is made between the two posters, that they should announce it here to avoid weeks of PM's Oh, BTW never added mine althogh Ive sent a PM already. Stakes:.50/1 6max 1/26max Sites: Absolute TimeZone: Illinois CST USA Bankroll:$1200.00 Will coach:Anyone wanting me to coach them. Most of my long term success is at .50/1 full Want to be coached by 1/2 players and up please. History: Started with $50 on prima, placed well in a MTT, whored the crypto's, then after making and almost losing a bonus bankroll I started getting serious. __________________________________________________ _______ Is anyone interested in the competition thing? I'm kinda leaning against it now unless there's a large response or the Mods get involved. I think If we just keep bumping this every once in a while for updates it would probably accomplish the same thing. |

Re: Coaching (partner) post for Micros
This is going good.
Just had my first sweat session with macdaddy991. I realized how much my constant multitabling has really lazied me up in my reading and situational plays. Think Ill go down to 1-2 tables for a week or 2 to focus some more. Also realized Im being a bit too aggro postflop, even for 6-max. Two big leaks that that Im going to focus on. Also let give a big Woot Woot to macdaddy991 for crushing his micro-league game tonite! Not sure if I helped him a whole lot but I guess I'm qualified to coach crappier players than me if anyones struggling to beat .50/1 full ring on party lol. |
Re: Coaching (partner) post for Micros
Stakes: 2/4
Sites: Party TimeZone: US Mountain Time Bankroll: A lot Will coach: A .5/1 or 1/2 who already has a firm grasp of the fundamentals. I'll review hands but won't sweat. I want to see how you really play. You've seen me post around here. If you want help, IM me. Want to be coached by: Phil Ivey, Daniel Negreanu, Barry Greenstein History: I read a lot of books. A lot. |
Re: Coaching (partner) post for Micros
I missed this thread. I'd be up for something like this.
If someone wants to AIM/gtalk about random hands, that would be cool. Or I'll sweat/coach if I can. Steaks: medium rare Stakes i'll help at .5/1+, 3/6+ my help might be "help". Sites: a lot TimeZone: Eastern Standard (US) Bankroll: enough Will coach: someone who PMs me and is nice. (or a hot girl). conversations are also good/better. Want to be coached by 3/6 and up. ok. actually only shadow29. he's dreamy. History: Have played .5/1, 1/2, 2/4, 3/6, now at 5/10. gtalk - tiltaholic@gmail.com (or email me there) or PM me. |
Re: Coaching (partner) post for Micros
I meant to reply yesterday as well:
Stakes: .50/1 Sites: Party, Empire, Stars, Pacific, Absolute TimeZone: Indiana (currently Central, changing to East soon) Bankroll: over 1,000 Will coach: I doubt anyone wants someone who has almost a -2BB/100 win rate after 25K hands at .50/1 coaching them Want to be coached by: Anyone, especially someone who is willing to AOL during either one of their sessions or my sessions, so I can see how hands are played History: Read SSHE a lot, started with $50 at PS playing .25/.50, turned it into $600, moved up to .50/1 been losing ever since. I think this is a great idea!!! The only thing worse than losing at poker, is realizing that you suck at it [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] |
Re: Coaching (partner) post for Micros
Stakes: 2/4 but 1/2 when I whore
Sites : Party and skins TimeZone : US EST Bankroll : More than enough Will Coach : Probally not the greatest coach. But wouldnt mind talking about hands. Want to be coached by : Not so much coached cause Ive been playing for a while but the occasional talk would work History : Started with $40 on True Poker playing NL....built it up a lot then moved to Limit and whored. Got over 20K hands in since then. But I didn't move up until recently. Didn't want count bonuses as part of the moving up proces. |
