2. Other Random Suggestions or Questions: As stated before I live in Melbourne, Australia (GMT+10) so attending the meetings will be tough, but I'm still interested in sweat sessions or hand discussions. I haven't done them before but I got skype and teamviewer now and I'm looking forward to learning as much as I can about the game. Add me on skype if you want and I'll try and get involved somehow. GL guys!

Check this thread out. It's a great opportunity, and even if TheLoon doesn't pick your vid, someone will review it! Also, the process of simply putting your thoughts into words (or attempting to) is VERY revealing! Don't miss out!

2. Other Random Suggestions or Questions: Looking for a group to spot my obvious leaks. I've been running ~10 buy-ins under EV this month at 5nl, it really frustrated me at the end and I feel like I lost my A game

I feel like I can help a lot people, because I have a good poker level, and that I need to be sweated somethime by better players to help me stop spewing and running good

Cheers

If you don't mind let me know next time someone is doing a sweat session. I'd like to participate as an observer. I've never done a sweat session and I'd like to see how it works before committing to my own.

Is this still going on?? If so I am very interested in live discussion.

Just participate and you will get your A game back also play fewer tables and concentrate on your decisions specifically making the right one and try reading people better.
