Alright you hungry bunch of poker hippos, the last one went down pretty well (as far as I can tell) so welcome to volume 2.0!

Unfortunately my IRL commitments are very hectic at the moment so wont be participating directly, but will still draw partners for everyone.

Quote:

Since the first buddy HH review was a success it's time to do another one.

What is it all about?
Post in the thread if you would like to participate stating the BI or specific MTT to which you made a deep run. Preferably, these would not be Sit n Go MTT's. By participating, you will get a random buddy assigned. You and your buddy swap a HH from a deep MTT run. Your buddy reviews your play and you review your buddy's play. In the end, both of you hopefully learn something

How does the review work?
That's up to you and your buddy.
Usually you would use the Universal Replayer. Load the HH, go through the hands and take notes. If you send the notes by email, talk over AIM/Skype, do a live screen sharing session via Mikogo/Teamview etc. is all up to you and your buddy.

How long is registration open?
Registration is open until FRIDAY 5TH NOVEMBER 1pm ET. (Thats 5pm GMT for euros)This should be enough time for everyone to see this thread. I will post pairings Saturday Morning.

My buddy sucks / doesn't respond. What to do?
That's unfortunate, but there is nothing that can be done. The draw is random so next time you will probably get a better buddy. Just suck it up as variance

What else?

Please check back in this thread SATURDAY to find out who your buddy is

If you and your roomate, coach, student etc. participate and you don't want to get paired together, please post so
If this goes well, we'll aim to do another one asap if the interest is there.

Benfits to this include seeing general game flow rather than looking at 1 hand in a vacuum, and seeing hands that you maybe wouldn't post alone but to an outside observer may raise some questions. Also, it also allows fellow posters playing similar stakes to talk to others they might have not done otherwise.

I'm in with various buyins from 3r on UB to some 4max/4k 1000caps also various DS tourneys on UB.

edit: Also I have a copy of camtasia so I can make a vid of the HH review which will probably be more valuable to me since you will have insight into how I think and can thus comment on my rationale on whether it's good or not. But whoever I draw if you'd like notes instead just let me know

Sign me up. I'm playing $1 45-mans at the moment

Played a lot of $2 180's last month but my game has changed and those HH's won't really be relevant.

I've got a 2.20 FT for 3rd place. I'm missing the first couple levels I think if that's ok. I can't remember if it was a 3k starting stack or 1500.

Can we also do older mtts too? Or should these be semi recent? Can we also get a new link to the universal replayer and someone help me how to share the HH with whoever I get paired with please? Either in here or PM is totally chill. I'm on here a lot so either way works. Thanks in advance.

I downloaded the universal replayer from here: http://universal-replayer.it/download/

The more recent the better, for reaqsons mentioned above. Link is there for hand replayer.

WRT sharing HH's, discuss with your buddy how you want to do it. I exchanged them via email, but many did it over skype/aim.

Preferably, the HH's would not be SnG's but if thats all you play then thats all you play.

I'm pumped for this. That replayer is cool, thanks for the link. I'd think there'd be more interest in something like this.

I'm in. All I have that might be interesting is a FT on a $5 FTP donkament, only 200 runners or so. Might also do a video (Camtasia style) cuz a lot of the time I have no ideia why I'm doing certain ****.

I also play $5 45man and def need improvement on that.

Bump for last day to sign up.

Gotta be honest guys, from the PM's and such I was getting I figured this was gonna be a lot more popular than it currently is.

I guess ssmtt players are just too cool for HH reviews

I've pretty much gotten my HH reviewing fix already anyways just over skype and through PMs with other players. But I'm still in for $1/3 45 mttsng's or $2 180's (though I haven't been playing those the past week).

Omg I saw this the other day... don't know why I didn't sign up right away.

I shipped a small 2R on FTP last week if you can squeeze me in. I mostly play 90man KOs, but I mix in all the micro mtts and occasional 26er.

So I'm assuming I'm doing two? If that's ok w/skinny and potamito I'll help both for sure. Also if they HH is in two/three different parts is it easier to just cut/paste them into one long ass one for the replayer? Skinny/potamito, I'll send you guys pm tonight after I do finish some stuff up. If you read this before I pm, shoot me a pm if you'd like to lmk how you'd prefer to do this. Like send HH over aim/email etc and how to chat. I currently have aim/fb and dl'ed skype but haven't installed it.

Also I hope everything is ok auchi....
