I talked with JLoc about the situamacation we got going on here (missing KurtSF). I told him we need some new COTM's and PAHWM's and that we will need him to sticky and unsticky some stuff. Obv him being a mod in the forum he agreed to do so. I told him I'd help organize it... so:


We need a new COTM. As of right now Ashley12 is due for Oct and the piece is titled Taking Poker More Seriously. Ashley12 are you still up for this?

If not does anyone else have another topic they'd like to write or see? We will also need to line up some volunteers for the coming months. Do that in the COTM schedule thread that I bumped today.

We also need a new PAHWM HH. It doesnt matter who it is or what stake it is. PM me the hand just like you would type it up on a new thread and we can review it and then I will submit it to JLoc.

If there is anything else that needs to happen post it here so we can get it taken care of by JLoc.

i will probly have a PAHWM HH or two in the next little while. i'll PM you when something comes up

Need a new COTM real bad.

Could someone please please do one that involves exploiting regs ? Currently at my room and I have played with at least half the table in the last week ..

The sticky doesn't really add too much. If you just write a good article or a good PAHWM people will reply to it and it will stay up top.

I disagree. It drops pretty quickly now because of the volume we have been getting. The sticky makes it convienent and thus attracts more responses IMO. Moot point though. JLoc already said he would sticky them.

What we really need are some people to step up. Regular posters usually turn out some good HH's *cough* KUD *cough*

Random comment:

I'll read any thread before a sticky. Could be I'm dumb/unusual/both but I kind of agree with Bluegrass. That has never happened in a strat thread fwiw.

I'd do a COTM to the tune of "it's much easier than you are making it" or "yes, they are that bad" type of thing. Basically a how to exploit no fold 'em games with a jazzier title and more abuse, if anybody fancies that.

The problem is a COTM thread many get thousands of "reads" and only a dozen replies. They are sticky for a reason, easy to find instead of having hunt 5+ pages deep.

That would be fine if "no fold'em" games were common in sslnl games, but they are not. That stereotype is not true, people fold in these games. If we start getting a lot of posts where people are seeing 6+ people at showdown, then it would be time for that COTM.

+1 for 8o8's PAHWM

i would also find this interesting as i have also found the ratio of regs:donks to be higher than i expected in my local room now that i'm playing more. although i suspect "exploiting regs" is basically equivalent to "playing really good live poker", so i imagine it would end up being a pretty huge, comprehensive article...

i'm working on it... i prefer if it's one that actually happened. i'm putting in some good hours on the weekends right now. nothing that's interesting enough over 3 streets for a PAHWM, but it's just a matter of time.

i might have a couple regular HH's from last night to share if i get the time
