The Learning Centre: A new child board for Poker Hand Analysis

[TightEnd]

After Christmas, we will be opening a new child board for Hand Analysis: The Learning Centre

This will be moderated by Totalise and Longy, and thanks to them for agreeing to help


The Learning Centre is intended to be a resource for newer and inexperienced players to be able to post on PHA in the knowledge that they will get attention and advice from not only Totalsie and Longy but also other experienced players who may wish to be involved, without some of the factors that can offput new players from posting on PHA

What the board finally includes will no doubt evolve but at outset:

- Post your hands or tournaments (we hope to embed a hand replayer into the board) and a Learning Centre mod will reply on your post. No wading through twenty replies to get that nugget you need!

- Weekly strategy articles into the centre, written by experienced peers

-  Along with that, hopefully the better players will "adopt" the beginners and agree in some form to some coaching/personalised advice

- Staking. We aren't sure if staking is a good path to go down or not, it hasnt worked too well on other sites, but blonde is unique in that respect so we might give that a go.

Note: blonde, Totalise and Longy do not envisage the points above involving financial remuneration for coaches and mentors. If a relationship develops in that way, please let it do so privately. blonde Poker will not under any circumstance become involved in disputes.

Over to you, the Learning Centre will develop in conjunction with what blondes want to see on it..so fire away and give Totalise and Longy your ideas and wishes....and look out for the new board after Xmas!

Then we disagree.
How do you stop the nasty buggers on the new board if you can't on the existing one?

Happy Christmas to you and yours too.

I looked at the "Constructive criticism" thread on PHA just now, when it took off and got "heated"...I posted over 10 times to "police" it, and I might as well have been trying to wrap up melting chocolate.

On the new board, Totalise and Longy will ensure that newbies can post in complete virtual comfort..(transfers responsibility swiftly...)

Your idea of policing is different to mine.
Good luck with the second board.........

Um thats why its a child board, it is part of PHA, like sporting game is part of sports betting and discussion.

As people will be able to post and will simply get a reply (which hopefully be right, I will just let Totalise do the hard ones lol). They will not get a tonne of replys, some of which won't be the most tactful lets say.

I feel that PHA seems to be moving away from the blonde ethos and appears to be a contest of who can voice their opinion in the loudest way. This is leading to alot of Blondeites especially beginners/newbies not wanting to post in there due to fear of getting flamed. I am positive there alot of questions people want to ask but don't, due to the image PHA has.

There were two threads earlier this week that seemed to indicate that there are quite a few people, that would like to have some form of coaching/mentoring and would be interested in some form of beginners league. Through this new board, blonde is attempting to tackle this interest.

The content of the board is totally flexible and hopefully we will adapt according to what people want to see. So any criticism/ideas are welcomed.

Sigh, happy christmas everyone.

LOLAMENTS ... "Ifm throws spanner in the works" shocker.

one day someone on blonde will come up with something that our resident miserable git is happy with ... a blonde T-Shirt and the heart felt thanks of every blonde member will be the award for that person.

[ifm]

Though my concern is that as the original is aggressive for want of a better word, what does opening another board do to address that?
I do believe people are afraid to post on and i do believe this needs addressing but having another board with erm the same aggressive posters is no different is it?
Does another board appear when the second one is deemed beyond help?
In a years time will there be a whole string of boards?
I say sort out the people ruining full stop.

If the board is to be aimed at beginners it may be an idea to have a post that outlines the information needed to provide a useful analysis of the situation. Effective stack sizes , any history or reads ect...
