i will play one session (say... 50 hands, or 100 hands) at some site, some limit. maybe party .50/1, maybe party 2/4, maybe stars .25/.50, maybe pacific 2/4, whatever.during the whole session, i will reveal my cards to everyone here via an AOL/AIM chatroom or maybe a thread or some means, and y'all can either: a) sweat me and discuss any interesting hands after, or B) play together every hand.by that second option i mean that i won't actually do any action until we reach a consensus (most options should be obvious and trivial... fold 92o, raise AQ, raise TPTK on the flop, fold a gutshot with bad odds). obviously if time is running out and you poker nerds are arguing, i will default to my own wise-as-an-owl decision.mainly the purpose is to spot and fix the BIG leaks in anyone's game. i.e. if there are 15 people in this, 14 of them are saying i should fold this hand on the turn, and you're alone in saying "RAISE!!" or "i usually call this down," you're PROBABLY wrong, and you've PROBABLY found a BIG leak.any interest?aseem

could be interesting...problem with a group consensus is that everybody will have to pay pretty close attention to make sure they get thier vote in quick enough for the hand. and if they are like me they are easily gonna be distracted. I do like the concept of getting together with players and discussing hands though via aim type mediums as there can be much more free flowing discussion

I really really like this idea. However, do you think it's possible to do with 10/15 people? Those timers move fast. I wouldn't suggest a thread it would have to be done with some chat client where we are all in the same room.

yesmaybe we limit it to 3 people per street..perhaps we'll need to alternate hands we vote on so we don't have 6 on each play?...it will be an eye opening experience

Sounds like fun. I tried to suggest something like this in general strat but no one seemed to like my vague idea as much. If you're doing it I'd love to participate.

Is Tim saying we are advertising collusion?I don't think the rules anywhere state that you can only have one player per account at a time. As long as only one of us sits at the table to play it's not illegal...maybe a little immoral.
You got a date Wednesday, baby!
