Mid Stakes Shorthanded NL Poker Forums

Vanessa has received a barrel of responses so far, but she needs many more to parse through them to make it a high quality series. We’re giving away 2 FREE MONTHS of Deuces Cracked for the 14th submission in the proper format, which is:

$1/2NL (or PLO) 6 max or higher

Hands converted in thehandconverter.com (keep the raw HH but please do not send it to me)

8 hands or more

Please don’t make the hands completely standard and boring, or else it just won’t count for the promo, nor will it have a chance of being selected for the series. :-(

The email should look like the following:

Hand 1

Two-three lines here about stats/reads/whatever you were thinking/why you made the play you did/whatever is relevant

LINK TO THE HAND

Hand 2

Rinse, repeat…

WHOEVER SENDS IN THE 14TH EMAIL (INCLUDING THOSE ALREADY RECEIVED) IN THE PROPER FORMAT WILL WIN A FREE 2 MONTHS TO DEUCESCRACKED, IN ADDITION TO HAVING A CHANCE TO APPEAR ON VANESSA’S NEW SERIES!

We will announce the winners at the start of next Season (March 9) - GLGL!

Vanessa's original post follows:

Hey guys -

I'm planning out my next series right now. If you saw my Omakase episode with Hielko, hopefully you got a lot out of it - I got a lot of positive feedback on that format, so I'm going to extend that into a whole series.

It's going to be hand history review based, where I discuss with the student about the hand. I'm aiming to do about 7-8 hands/episode.

So I need your hand histories! If you want to participate, please send me somewhere around 10 hand histories in the following format:

Two lines of text about relevant reads/stats/whatever you were thinking or you think I should know, followed by a link to the hand converted at www.thehandconverter.com. Keep a copy of the raw HH as well.

You should send the email to vanessa@deucescracked.com.

My goal is to pick the 4 most interesting hands from each person from whom I receive them and do 2 people/episode. If I get 8 awesome hands from someone, I'll have them on for the whole time.

So basically, free coaching! Send me your hands, and like I said, please follow the format. I have a very busy schedule and there's a chance I won't read the email if the hands aren't converted or I have to do extra work. Nothing personal, just how it is.

Thanks guys.

Cool .

This sounds very interesting, with the converted hands do you want results included or not?

This sounds very interesting, with the converted hands do you want results included or not?

Yeah, it's generally a good idea, because there will be interesting things to consider from your opponent's perspective as well. But it really depends on the hand. If it's just a bluff, then including the results is usually not as good because it might lead to subconscious bias...

great idea, vanessa, when is the deadline for this?

Sounds good. I just posted some rubbish about not being able to use the converter, but it turns out I'm just an idiot.

great idea, vanessa, when is the deadline for this?

Please get the hands in ASAP basically - I want to start filming the first few episodes early next week. So the earlier you get your email in, the better shot you have of being included.
