I played a session today using your guide above and not limping pp, i did ok, 1 BI up over 150 hands. Some poor plays, a stupid call here and their but it felt better!

See you all tomorrow

When you play passive you will have a harder time making money. Besides why would you start out making bad plays to get rid of them later and any one that thinks limping oop is a good play is a donkey. I don't care what level you are at. Don't waste time open limping (limping in pre out of position). You'll just end up getting raised and have to fold or have to play your hand oop in a limped pot and hope another play hits a good enough have to stack off with which most of the time they won't.

It has gone a bit quiet. I know PSDDSP is a bit busy this week. I've just come down with a cold, but I'll try to message everyone later.

Can I get some feedback... Do you think it would be easier to keep the conversation going here? Like announcements, sweat partners, etc.?

Hi all,
PSDDSP is really busy this week. So he asked me to message everyone. These are our previous pairings for Sweat Sessions. How are they going? I'm meeting up with Lucker9200 again tonight.

What does everyone think of keeping announcements and information flowing in our forum thread? We could start a new thread too to keep it fresh. Also, please let me know when you're free this week to do a group meeting of some sort. What do you think if making it a little like the coachings with one of us playing and the rest giving comments and such? If you have Google+ it is free to have multi-video conversations. Though only one person really needs to be on video using screen share...

I'm going to post this in our forum as well, but will delete that if someone has a problem.
Thanks!

I think we're technically full.

But, I'm considering starting an new additional group. (not leaving this group though).
This second group will be based around Asia and Australia. In general this could be from General UTC+7 to UTC+11. I'm in Japan which is UTC+9.
I'd like to be able to coordinate evening meetings during the week. So people in the same general time zone area could easily arrange this.
This group could include others with schedules to meet meet in their mornings/days/afternoons/whatever, but times would be based in Eastern Asia for honestly my convenience, and hopefully others in this part of the world who want to join the group.
Myself, I play NL5 FR. Hopefully this group could be for others of a similar range/level.

Hi guys!

Hope all is well, when is our next group? Also i havnt been able to arrange the sweat as my partner is pretty much on the opposite timezone to me!

Any chance of a bit of a rearrange so people who are in similar timezones can be partners! As poor ShumaG hasnt had the oppertunity to critique me!

Yeah we've never been able to line up our schedules with me being in North America, would be nice to actually have someone to regularly go over stuff with.

So... is this group still up and active?
Should we give it another go?
I have started another side group focus around my timezone. Maybe focusing on one geographical area might be better? I dunno... :rolleyes:

Hi MeAmor, Arxyn, and Yellowteea,
I think this group is temporarily on break.
I started another group for meeting times based in Eastern Asia and Australia.
I recommend starting a new group yourselves based on the times you are free. One of the struggles of this thread's group was that everyone was from some different part of the planet and it was very difficult to plan meetings.
Let me know if you have any questions!
