Free eBook Download: How to Really Suck at Poker
According to this thread, I've recently been tricked into taking over as the moderator for some of the micro stakes/small stakes/new people. Along those lines, I'm going to use this thread to lay out the projects and things of that nature that I'm going to be working on for you guys.
These points are numbered so that you can post comments/questions/suggestions/haterade referring to specific numbers.
1. The Priority for the Chat Room is Downgraded
Long story short, my connection sucks so I'm constantly being kicked off of the chat room that we had going not that long ago, and it's really a pain to try to keep it going when I'm pretty busy all the time as it is. That leads us to our next point:
2. The Priority for the Chat Thread is Upgraded
We'll have a general chat thread here in the forum to make this work out a little better. You'll still be able to BS with each other during the day while you're at work or while you're in the middle of sessions, but it'll just be in a different format.
3. Study Groups and Hand History Reviews
Thanks for this suggestion from daven or d0zer or whichever it was who was actually stealing it from another guy. I'm going to structure some hand history reviews in a way that hasn't really been done before here on FTR. Basically, you're going to be able to give your thoughts, notes, analysis and everything else on a hand before you see what anyone else has written. Then after a few days (or a week, for example), the hand will be posted, and all of the analysis received from everyone will be posted along with it. This can be an immensely helpful and fun thing to do.
We're also going to be looking to do study groups based on classic poker books, articles, concepts and things of that nature. For example, we might decide that the first week of November is International Continuation Betting week where we spend a week looking specifically at continuation betting spots.
4. References and Stickies
We used to have a pretty decent organization for popular, useful or important threads. I'm not really sure where that went, but we're going to get it back, and we're going to need help updating some of the older information.
5. Specific Guides on Depositing for US Players
It's a real pain to try to figure out how to deposit. New players from the US get turned off from this in a major way. I want to help fix this with real step-by-step types of situations that will show you exactly what you need to be doing to get in on the action so that you can improve with our resources at FTR and really learn to plow through the competition.
I'll probably post some more stuff later. Let me know what you think of these changes, and let me know what it would take for you to become more involved in the strategy forums.
