Blonde 'Beginners League' - Anyone interested?

[Claw75]

What a great idea!  I don't fit in on either side of this, but would definitely be interested in taking part as a 'learner' if the idea is ever extended to cover people who have been playing a bit longer.

Good idea Laxie...hope it's not just Kin who signs up for tutelage though..be rather sad to have him as the only beginner in there

Why players who've only been playing for 6 months?  I'm sure there are a lot like me who have been playing for longer who consider themselves no more than beginners.

thats the next step, its called the "lost cause" league

lol that sound like me, can I sign up for the lost cause league? I'll sign up for the beginners one for mtts until the lost cause is sorted out

i would jump at the chance of some guidance as ive got a lot 2 learn but ive been playing longer than six months maybe after u get ure beginners tutalge sorted u could throw in a few intermediate ones

None of my friends or family play poker so having people 2 discuss poker with i think could only improve my game

Great idea - can't remember when I joined Blonde so might be just outside the 6 months now but I'd love to be included as a rather hopeless beginner.

Although it might depend what nights these are as I can't do Thursdays as a general rule.

I'd happily contribute time to this, I dont think it should be restricted to 6 months/non 6 months etc, just people that think they could do with improving their game.

What I would really like to see is that people that want to improve their poker, they analyse their own hand history, and make it public so that people can take a look and let them know where they are going wrong.  Maybe a child board in the PHA where people upload their own HH and analysis and people can comment/debate hands from there?

We are thinking about a PHA child board for this and/or mentoring

All suggestions welcome

my main suggestion (apart from what i said to you in PM) is that primarily people should be trying to help themselves, so it wont work if people just upload hands/histories and say "what do I do here"..... get them to try and analyse their hands/sessions and THEN the better players can come in and try and help them out, clearly the value in that is that it not only lets you see the way they play their hands, but it gives you an avenue into their thought process as well, which really is the key to improving peoples games.

Great idea. I'll help/assist in any way I can.

For those that are interested i posted up the entire HH of a 300fo i won last week on iPoker its in PT text format so just load it into PT and replay the whole thing, or you can read it.

Definately taking a look - light reading before bed. Missed the original thread, cheers.

Careful Rich..you're very close to becoming stalker material

I think it's a great idea.

But I think 12 months would be better than 6 months for 'beginners' to be able to score points, otherwise you could end up with too few entrants to make the result meaningful.

Why 12 months?
