PM your partners to setup when you want to sweat. Refer back to the thread I linked in the OP for which tools you'll need to do this.

If you still want to do this but are late there are always stragglers. I won't be doing any more pairings this month after this post so you'll need to set it up amongst yourselves.

eff. Got in too late.

No I ninja edit paired you in

Thanks for the effort andyEB.

I've got some ideas for a next time, if it comes.

1. Pair experienced players together with players with same amount of experience (join date and number of posts or something).
2. Everybody say more about exactly when they can do a sweat session (i.e. 18-20 ET mon-fri, and 12-20 ET sat-sun)
3. Everybody tell us how often they would do a session like this (i.e. two times a week)
4. Everybody says something about what they feel/think are their weaknesses, eventually strenghts.
5. Eventually session preferences like video/live, mic or text
6. Stats. A 16/14 and 25/22 is not suiting very well together i think.

And as before:
-Limit
-Site (Dont think this is very important)

Anybody have some ideas about how it is to discuss a video vs live sweating? I think videos maybe is a lot better than live because of the pause option.

I like the video option better because then time matching becomes less of a consideration. But have a live sweat session set for tonight.

Not to discourage you guys but this is going to be incredibly hard.

Instead of everyone stating "I'm available at xx time" you should just designate a time that most people can, and go from there.

Its easier than you think if many want 1 session pr week.

From what I've seen at FR it is still beneficial to be paired with someone who has less experience. If you are the more experienced player you are still forced to talk through your thought process. Also, the idea is to get paired up with different people each month to be exposed to different styles, etc.

From my experience, there hasn't been a whole lot of trouble meeting up with others.

As for the video idea -- that's interesting and could be something to try. These are pretty free form so if your partner is up for it you can do whatever.

Thanks for setting this up AndyEB, I've PM'd my guy so let's see how it goes. It's like a (um, very heterosexual) blind date or something.

Hey if it's not too late or if someone else wants to jump in as well I'd love to do this too. I would be fine joining w/ two other guys who have already paired up for a group of three if anyone is up for it.
NL50 on FTP - Played cash seriously for ~a year now and have played as high as NL400 for a significant # of hands.

i could do it globetrotter, my guy had troubles then disappeared. Timezone and site?
BTW jallabar pm if u cant get on aim and we'll sort anoither out.

Or if anyone new wants to join, anyone drops out, ect I'm in. You can throw me on the waiting list or something
