Hi Hashkan,
Here are the links to our Hand Discussion Forums for the different variants:
Alternatively, you can visit each Hand Evaluation Forum by it's heading (see above) and find the hand discussion threads as sub-forums.
I hope this helped but let me know if missed something out.
Regards,
Mal.
not wishing to shoot myself in the foot, but did this actually come in to effect?
I see people posting hundreds of hands a month in the 0.05/0.10 forum.
I think limiting it is fine, but the limits proposed are hugely under what they should be. Most of the feedback in the 0.05/0.10 forum are no more that two lines, because that is all they require. It is simple and quick for the judges.
As you move up stakes, generate more rake, move up status, you come across more tricky hands that get posted in the higher stakes forums, and get more in detail feedback.
Surely the difference in reply itself accounts for some of the needed reward for generating greater rake?
I think for silver/gold a hand per day is more than fair for both parties, pretty much all of these hands will be in the lowest stakes forum, and will receive short but concise feedback. It doesn't take the judges too long to answer, and it averages out between the active posters, and the less active
There's a restriction? Never noticed
Anyway the quality of coaches evaluating fluctuates heavily, when some coaches pick up my hand I'm like "fuck another cooler" wasted time posting again.
With others it's like hitting quads and they always make me think.
I guess there's nothing I can do about that tho can't request who will (won't) reply? I've stopped using the hand eval. forum completely for that reason.

Since i registered here few years ago, i only posted LESS than 5 hands for discussion...
I think limiting hand evaluation for a quality one is a good move...
I understand cutting down on the number hand people can post.
I especially understand not letting bronze members post.
My only problem is that I am paying the same amount I did before, for a considerably worse service. 5 hands per month is just not worth paying money for.
Hey bssjonny94,
thanks for sharing your thoughts. You are right that for the silver status, five is the maximum amount of hands allowed to post per month to be evaluated by a professional hand judge.
However, if you'd like to post more, you are welcome to do so in the Open Hand Discussion Board (e.g for No-Limit you can find it here). These boards are open to all members and rely on the community members helping each other.
Apologies for the inconvenience caused by lowering the amount of hands to be evaluated, hope the professional advice you get is satisfactory. If you have the opportunity to get the gold status - either by collecting StrategyPoints or purchasing points, it might be a way to increase the number of hands to be judged.
Best regards,
Marta
In my opinion posting 5 hands per month is almost a joke for one's development. While one can still post hand in the free forum, but often have to wait for days for some analysis.
I think doing something like 1-2 hands per day is reasonable.
Sneakyhand.
I think you all need to stop acting like little bitches and suck it up!!!
If you had a blog, you'd find you'll get much better hand discussions there or in a skype group - Look in these forums - I know they is at least 10 looking for members right now. In my opinion, you are better discussing a hand in a group of players playing the same limits than a hand judge who hasn't played the limit you are at for the last 3 years.
Plus, how about you go away LEARN the strategies that are available to you? Then implement them... Learn more, via any means necessary.. Then guess what else - You'll increase your bankroll... Allowing you to play higher limits, pay more rake, and guess what... Never guess what ... Status upgrades!
I am grinding NL5 and had Gold status locked up by the 9th of october... If I can do it as an inherently bad player with mental game/Tilt issues, then all you people that are "Learning to improve" can also...
Get a grip. Bet half of you moaning in this thread hardly used 'em anyway. And if you did - you'd know that the players often come up with the same or better answers than the judges anyway... Get a blog - Use the Community - befriend people who are slightly more skilled than you. Not rocket science people... You are all moaning for the sake of it.
If you all worked harder on your game instead of expecting someone else to do it for you - Then you'd all get a lot goddamn further!
