Microposter sessions: the novelty has worn off - Page 2

I haven't had the time to go through all of them, but I have found them fine pretty much the way they are. It just depends on the mood I'm in when I'm browsing the forum.

another option:

microposter exports a PT history of the session, (with an established max number of hands) and then uses a find/replace to change the names of the innocent. Session is uploaded to a host, a link is posted, and we the vicious poker mob can just download it and play it back in PT.

Wookie could take a look at it before it's posted to check for overall technical righteousness and justice.

This could be cool because it would be much less tedious, we could be free to form our own reads, and we could probably process the info better overall.

obviously this restricts participation to the 98% of us who have pokertracker, but so be it.

Microposter should unmask. I'm a lot less likely to sit down with a random bozo to help their game than I am someone I know. There's absolutely no shame in making some bad plays from time to time (if you play poker for an ego stroke, you're in the wrong game), and I'd rather help out people I like than an anonymous player.

Or at least give us a lost of all the MP's so far. We don't have to know who did what, but a list of all of them would be nice.

Have ya seen this thread yet?

I think the anonymity is a good thing, but if ya could do a session like this I think it would be a lot more interesting and easier for others to provide help and feedback.

Greg,

Thanks for the Microposter sticky. Just looking through those hands I have spotted more than a few leaks that I will get busy on shoring up tonight.

For instance, through my first 8K hands, my VPIP is 32%. I keep waiting for it to go down, i.e., players should raise more at the .25/.50 level than the .05/.1, thus I shouldn't be able to limp so many hands in LP. Unfortunately, that hasn't happened.

Also it was nice to see all the BEATS you took. It was a painful read in that way for sure. It's nice to see that a session with that many beatings doesn't "only happen to me." [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Thanks for sharing. Also, as others have posted, I like seeing the hands that are folded so as to get a feel for it going around the table. Sure we all know to fold 23os UTG, but it makes it more contiguous seeing all the hands. With limpers ahead, and a marginal holding in LP, say 97s, it's nice to see what others will do with that.

One idea that I've been tossing around in my head that may come in handy is running a session's worth of hands that include the stats of your villians in "real time." By real time, I mean displaying the villains poker tracker stats as I would be seeing them at the time I played the hand.

If someone (or me, though I don't like to code too very much when I'm not getting paid for it [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] ) were to do this, would that spice of the microposter session at all? I've had this idea for a few weeks now, but I'm not sure how useful others would find it.

look here

Reqtech · #19 09-29-2005, 10:10 PM

while cool, that isn't what I was talking about. Unless I overlooked where he listed PT stats (VPIP/PFR/AF/WSD/HP) for each player at the time the hand was played for every opponent at every hand.

edit - I guess it would help if I read his post a little more closely. My idea is fairly similar, though it would post the stats in finished text. Older reads of opponents would be available as well from older sessions.

If we could cut down on the "Did I get full value from this AA or KK?" or "Look what I won with" type posts, I think the discussion would be better.

The microposter sessions were good. I think they are a little too long. How about a 25 hand session, where someone tells their thoughts on every hand. I got a lot out of Aaron's hand group where he got reads on one player, and played against him based on those reads. If only I had that much patience. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

I think the quiz thing would be good, if we can get it figured out. Maybe flip-flop, one week session, one week quiz.

I think this is a spectacular idea. I think that doing something like this, especially w/ the poster explaining everything, could go a long ways. Include 25 hands that were actually played past the flop, complete thought processes, and maybe a few passing thoughts at any marginal preflop folds.
