General Discussion 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.

Sounds great. Is this going to be MSNL?

Yeah are you accepting hands from any limit? (any limit from NL heh)

You're welcome to send me hands from any limit above .50/1. I'm most interested in doing 2/4NL+, but if you think you have really cool hands from 1/2 or .5/1, send those along as well. Nothing lower than .5/1 please (sorry I did not stipulate).

One of the few times I am as happy as hell to hear someone say .5/1 and above. She is so good at explaining that you know whatever is said your going to get something out of it.

Not only that, I am guessing a $200 buyin person can spot an interesting hand a bit easier than me.

Really looking forward to this.

Awsome, really looking forward to that!
also, this thread should be made a sticky.

200bb+ .5/1 HU any good?

Great idea btw, looking forward to it.

With so many people looking forward to it, you'd think people would actually send these along.

so far I have TWO responses. What's the deal, people? No one wants free coaching?

I thought that I had my fair share of free coaching with the Omakase series , but if you want; I can certainly can find some cool (read; questionable) hands in my DB for another session.

I just started playing 100NL so I wish I could help you out Vanessa, but I'll have to play more to have some hands that qualify. I'll try to get some good ones this weekend and send them in

I apologize if you already addressed this question, but are you primarily interested in HU, 6-max or full ring?

mostly 6max, but i'd take hu too. it's more difficult though to talk about hu hands when they're out of context.

I will browse my PT3 DB to find some hands.

mostly 6max, but i'd take hu too. it's more difficult though to talk about hu hands when they're out of context.

Well I can send you all 1.5k hands of epic 2 table sesh, and you sift thru for the reads

I tried looking but I could only find three interesting hands. And that took me an hour.

Maybe I'll try again.
