Hey guys, i have decided to create a new thread for this since it seems to be in a couple of different places, but basically the idea has been put forward that a skype group be created for chatting, railing, discussing TPE stuff etc. So if you would like to be a part of this group, put your skype username in here or PM me and i will update the OP with everyone's name. 

 

one thing that i wanna mention though is that we should definitely make sure this doesn't take away from TPE content at all. I think as members we have a really awesome site here and we dont want to jeopardise that at all, so for hand and more in depth discussion make sure you still post a thread. Then everyone gets the benefit of this, not just the skype group.

Hey Ben,

I too noticed that next to the member video study group thread (relaunch), another thread was opened. I am very glad that you decided to put it in one place.

I fully agree on your remarks regarding TPE. Already stated that in my previous posts in the video members study group, so lets make sure it will become a great addition to TPE possibilities. As time progresses we can agree on proceedings etc like I suggested in my other posts regarding this subject.

 

Some of these might be:

1. Announcement of meetings @ TPE forum in this thread

2. Requiring TPE membership  for the skype group

3. Appointing sessionleaders for specific or all meetings

4. Choosing software for shared screens..

5. etc

 

One exiting possibility differing from the hand posting section would be the possibility to work through handhistories using a shared screen and a replayer. The skype group will be able to comment through audio and/or chat on the hands while the tourney/sng (or chosen parts) is displayed. Unlucky but screensharing with a group is only possible with a none free skype license. Maybe that would be an idea for TPE to jump in, thus assuring at the same time that the connection with TPE remains strong. There seems to be free software called join.me which provides these possibilities for free. I would prefer a licenced group trhough TPE though because of the reasons mentioned before.

Anyways, exited to see more and more activity regarding this initiative.

To Bennymacca: I suggested a testrun next saturday @ 14:00 pm ET/ 8 pm CET. What do you think?

teamviewer is the best way to share screens to multiple people. i have used it extensively and it works well, and is free. 

 

in terms of setting up a date, maybe the first thing to do is just to add a bunch of people to the skype group first and just wait and see what comes of it

I agree with Benny on building the foundation first, but I can appreciate the previous format/guidelines above. I've been a member of several Skype groups and is very much needed.

 

On another note, teamviewer is old school and doesn't always work if people have different versions. I recommend join.me screen sharing tool… it's free and no need to download anything, just google it. We had some nice sweat sessions on Monday/Tuesday! Hope to get more of TPE nation on there… It's possible to use Skype from your mobile phone too so you can communicate your live tournaments as well!

chip chimp71 was so kind to let a few of us from the list above watch his screen while he shipped a tourney tonight..lol

join.me has proven to be a very reliable and simple solution with almost no effort and no setup.Just a link by the screensharing person.

Combined with the skype chat and probable audio soon too it seems the way to go indeed.

Guess the rungood happens right away with skype indeed. Congratz chip chimp71!

 

maybe we can paste interesting parts of the chat inhere too regularely….

Below some more snippet from last night:

[10:23:10] Johan van den Burg: vs the2  guys at ur table  a bit more marginal hands might be sufficient to push 'm out
[10:23:37] Johan van den Burg: or else w8 for them with a good abc style hand 🙂
[10:24:39] Johan van den Burg: wow
[10:24:49] ilikejohn running0uts: really like the way you've played this
[10:25:18] ilikejohn running0uts: I probably would have done it all 1 street earlier is all
[10:25:24] Johan van den Burg: would he ever jam with a K tho?
[10:25:24] ilikejohn running0uts: wow, ul dude
[10:25:29] Mark McGrath mcgcork tpe: gah
[10:26:26] Mark McGrath mcgcork tpe: i suppose i was representing, well trying to so tpye of pocket pair of a king
[10:26:29] Ben Benny Macca: ouch didnt see what happened there
[10:27:05] Johan van den Burg: I myself would have gone for the showdownvalue or a 1/3 pot bet.. still ul sir and a balzy move with heart
[10:27:22] Mark McGrath mcgcork tpe: sorry mispellings everywhere there
[10:27:42] ilikejohn running0uts: mark opened utg with AQ, bb flatted. flop KK5. check/check. Turn 7. Mark bet half pot, gets call. Brick river Mark jams, called by 87o
[10:27:51] Mark McGrath mcgcork tpe: but ya, had that much invested in the pot, i think that my problem
[10:28:12] Johan van den Burg: i wondr if a 100k bet would not have made him fold
[10:28:13] Mark McGrath mcgcork tpe: not being able to get away from hands like tha
[10:28:14] Ben Benny Macca: you are only repping a K there which is tough
[10:28:33] ilikejohn running0uts: I think I still cbet flop
[10:28:43] Mark McGrath mcgcork tpe: ya, make it look like i was going for value
[10:28:45] ilikejohn running0uts: otherwise I think it was fine honestly
[10:28:47] Johan van den Burg: the times that he jams and indeed has the K might be less than the tims that he has air and represents
[10:29:14] Johan van den Burg: yep looking like for value makes some players fold lower bets
[10:29:21] Johan van den Burg: while they will call the shove
[10:29:28] ilikejohn running0uts: Yeah Johan but I am never folding once I get to 10bbs left, would rather make him make a big call
[10:29:40] Johan van den Burg: just my 2cts but respect for ur style ther
[10:29:41] Johan van den Burg: e
[10:29:53] Mark McGrath mcgcork tpe: with qq, jj, 10s, 9s, ever be jamming this river
[10:30:04] Mark McGrath mcgcork tpe: i have raised utg
[10:30:11] Mark McGrath mcgcork tpe: cbet the turn
[10:30:16] Johan van den Burg: good point did not take stacksizes into acct yet.. needd to look at those too
[10:30:37] Johan van den Burg: its late and Bytie is getting fuzzy and dumb lol
[10:31:02] Mark McGrath mcgcork tpe: may post in the forum to see what people think?!
[10:31:08] Mark McGrath mcgcork tpe: thanks for the comments as well guys
[10:31:12] ilikejohn running0uts: I think if you had those hands you would bet the flop most likely, that's kind of why I prefer the flop cbet rather than a delayed cbet. You are showing more strength with the turn cbet but it narrows your range to a K only
[10:31:12] Johan van den Burg: ya please..
[10:31:39] Johan van den Burg: how many BB did u have pre mark?
[10:31:51] Mark McGrath mcgcork tpe: i suppose i didnt cbet here bcus i didnt want to get check raised
[10:31:53] ilikejohn running0uts: 20
[10:31:57] Mark McGrath mcgcork tpe: yes 20
[10:32:17] Johan van den Burg: a shove might be in it on earlier streets
[10:32:22] ilikejohn running0uts: really tough spot
[10:32:35] Johan van den Burg: dont think its a real overshove pre here or?
[10:33:18] ilikejohn running0uts: I think a shove pre is fine and lots of people will play it that way
[10:33:28] Johan van den Burg: I mean vs this particular villain who had rather aggro hud data
[10:34:03] ilikejohn running0uts: I prefer a standard open with my premiums at low stakes because you will get shoved on by worse hands
[10:34:06] Johan van den Burg: still u can get more value by calling vs this kind of player risking more too
[10:34:21] ilikejohn running0uts: even though to good players it seems transparent what hand you have
[10:34:36] ilikejohn running0uts: most players aren't good or observant at lower stakes
[10:34:52] Mark McGrath mcgcork tpe: put yourself in the villains shoes
[10:35:10] Mark McGrath mcgcork tpe: how often are you calling the river shove?
[10:35:19] Johan van den Burg: well spoken sir! I defenitely 2nd that part of your arguments
[10:35:42] Ben Benny Macca: i reckon i would call a whole bunch if i was villain in that spot
[10:35:50] Mark McGrath mcgcork tpe: ya?
[10:36:13] Ben Benny Macca: tbh you dont really rep anything but a K, and you would bet a king at least some of the time on the flop
[10:36:21] Ben Benny Macca: you would check your air much more than you would check a king
[10:36:28] Ben Benny Macca: so that weights your range toward air even more
[10:36:46] Ben Benny Macca: not to mention all hte combos etc
[10:36:46] Johan van den Burg: I myself would fold to a partial bet more ofthen than the shove if i hit the board myself because the paired kings would lead me to believe that my opponent is on air more often
[10:36:55] Johan van den Burg: depending on my read on him tho
[10:36:59] ilikejohn running0uts: right, kind of what I was saying earlier, I think the flop check polarised your range
[10:37:14] Ben Benny Macca: yeah i agree with that john
[10:37:19] ilikejohn running0uts: even so he is in a tough spot for a big portion of his stack, and he tanked a long time because of it
[10:37:53] Mark McGrath mcgcork tpe: ya fair enough
[10:37:57] Ben Benny Macca: with AQ you actually have showdown value i reckon, after flop check i would hvae prolly tried to check it down and maybe even check-called river
[10:38:06] Johan van den Burg: that might exactly be the reason to shove pre to avoi all that 😛

….just the 60/40's than?

 

had a blast last night.. and I am convinced that it will benefit everyone 's skills in some way, be it social skills if nothing else.

j/k tho.. there will be numerous moments that will deepen our thoughts about poker and well.. about other things too maybe.

 

thnx for joining us benny!

Next to chip chimp71, 1derer made a nice shippament too while we were watching the last phase.. congratz m8!

Hawkeye did well too, I was too busy at that time to know the details but he also was very deep, I think 2 times last night.

The  TPE skype study group is hot this week, one or more ft's every day!

So I guess I will postpone my dons and fifty fifty trial project a bit and play some sessions of mtt this week to add to the joy and return to my roots, playing mtt mostly..

Some other guys are going deep each and every day, getting kicked out on suckouts very deep for days in a row. Frustrating as this is, they play their A-game overall and ft annex shippament is near for them too!!

Furthermore there are many nice pokerdiscussions of course and as mentioned in other posts I intend to also gather some nice snippets regularely to keep the rest of the TPE community posted and maybe getting them interested to register in this thread too…

Next to tha,t these snippets and posts inhere can and will probably ignite many discussions about tournament strategies in its different stages. It is for this reason that I love this initiative so much.

Handhistories are an extremely important part fof a tourney. But in the TPE Skype group, the flow of the tournament and the exact circumstances in which situations occur and decisions need to be made lead to insights that go beyond the math ad insights on single hands and it is that aspect that will benefit all participants next to the spinoff discussions that will be held at the TPE forums to the benefit of all TPE members…!

Also there are plans to create vids out of Replayer HH's and present those through TPE in some way.

 

PM Benny or put your TPE and skypename inhere for to be added.

Had a nice handdiscussion about the above hand which I would like to share with u guys to keep TPE posted a bit on what's going on in the TPE skype group: (Did not bother to correct any typos which happen all the time when hurrying to type during sessions, so please ignore that)

I also anonimised the TPE member because sometimes we say things in duscussion of which we later change our mind and our outtings might haunt us long after. We might get quoted on things we said that might not mirror our believes later in time.

So that's why I will do that always in the future, unless a member specifically tells me there is no need to anonimise.

TPE Skype group hand discussion:

[16-2-2012 4:33:29] Bytie_nl: scary spot I am in damn..
[16-2-2012 4:34:45] Bytie_nl: i folded would love to hear ur opinion.. gonna paste the link 1 sec cnverting
[16-2-2012 4:34:58] TPE member1: ok
[16-2-2012 4:35:55] Bytie_nl: https://www.tournamentpokeredge.com/handhistory/DisplayHH.php?HandNo=19498
[16-2-2012 4:35:57] TPE member1: my games is built around not putting myself in to many awkward spots
[16-2-2012 4:36:04] Bytie_nl: leacim plays 18/4
[16-2-2012 4:36:38] Bytie_nl: he never cvets turnbets and folds out 75% of his called pre's if cbetted agaist him
[16-2-2012 4:36:49] Bytie_nl: to give u some background on the guy
[16-2-2012 4:37:08] Bytie_nl: up untill 3 month agao i would have called/reshoved but not anymore
[16-2-2012 4:38:13] Bytie_nl: my read would be QJ , set or at least 2p
[16-2-2012 4:38:50] Bytie_nl: all of which I loose to and i wont try a gutshot out here
[16-2-2012 4:38:55] Bytie_nl: good or bad fold?
[16-2-2012 4:38:59] TPE member1: that was a painfull fold i wonder what stats he has on you to lead out like that what do u think he had
[16-2-2012 4:40:32] Bytie_nl: I had been splashing around few times and more limps than I am used to later in mtt.. so he will have the pic of a loose aggro player I guess
[16-2-2012 4:40:38] Bytie_nl: which i am but i change gears a lot
[16-2-2012 4:41:00] Bytie_nl: that does not show in his stats immediately cause i play very aggro eaRLY IN MTT
[16-2-2012 4:42:07] Bytie_nl: against many other players i would not fold in that spot but his lack of agression and now suddenly a committing bet smelled bad
[16-2-2012 4:42:35] TPE member1: i will ask you, would u play the hand like that if u were him and had those hands u said he thought he might have
[16-2-2012 4:43:06] Bytie_nl: good question sir.. let me think about that
[16-2-2012 4:45:21] Bytie_nl: ok 1st part : IF he would hold like QJs I could imagine a call vs the minbet, especially as he calls rather often anyway (24% vpip)
[16-2-2012 4:45:37] Bytie_nl: than on the flop he might folat vs an aggro player cheing his gutshot
[16-2-2012 4:46:04] Bytie_nl: so with one holding at least i can see a line that fits him
[16-2-2012 4:46:51] Bytie_nl: the aggro turnbet was comletely nesw and still can be a steal vs a player he thinks is loose and will have to fold mostly.. so that's an argument against5 folding 😛
[16-2-2012 4:48:50] Bytie_nl: for the most part i feel the fold is ok.. what is ur take into that?
[16-2-2012 4:49:16] TPE member1: big hands usualy want more money in pot and would CR and try and pot commit you
[16-2-2012 4:49:19] Bytie_nl: the times he is bluffing seem atypical for this rather passive player
[16-2-2012 4:50:01] Bytie_nl: good point there.. why didn't he raise the flop
[16-2-2012 4:50:15] Bytie_nl: reraise..
[16-2-2012 4:50:39] Bytie_nl: argh.. just flopped 2p and lost allin to better 2p.. ah well
[16-2-2012 4:50:51] TPE member1: on turn
[16-2-2012 4:51:07] TPE member1: not lead out
[16-2-2012 4:51:48] Bytie_nl: ya if u look at it that was it doesn't really fit.. and that would be a strong argument for an air bet.. (darn!)
[16-2-2012 4:52:10] Bytie_nl: if u look at it that way I tried to type
[16-2-2012 4:52:52] Bytie_nl: wouldn't he 3b me pre with strong holdings?
[16-2-2012 4:53:04] TPE member1: nah i am unsure as well he could have got scared of st8 draw and tried to protecy a weak 2 pr
[16-2-2012 4:53:15] TPE member1: protect
[16-2-2012 4:53:51] Bytie_nl: sounds reasonable.. in case of set or 2p he does NOT like the 10 at all
[16-2-2012 4:53:54] Bytie_nl: inded..
[16-2-2012 4:54:29] TPE member1: he would CR with those hands
[16-2-2012 4:54:47] TPE member1: set
[16-2-2012 4:55:19] TPE member1: maybe he had str draw and a pair
[16-2-2012 4:56:09] TPE member1: gut shot
[16-2-2012 4:57:58] Bytie_nl: he was passive right so taking a strong line would still be atypical.. the more surprising was his sudden potcommitting turnbet..  would suspect that he himself was protecting himself vs a str8 draw as u suggested asa  possibility be4.. interesting hand imo..
[16-2-2012 4:58:34] Bytie_nl: I woud go for yur earlier suggestion him holding 2p or better
[16-2-2012 4:58:49] Bytie_nl: so i like the fold I guess
[16-2-2012 4:59:04] Bytie_nl: or 1p and a gut.
[16-2-2012 5:00:11] TPE member1: i can make call there at times and guy would have flush/str8 drwas and pair but to call i need to hve read on player
[16-2-2012 5:01:11] TPE member1: not call sry i am getting it in
[16-2-2012 5:01:38] Bytie_nl: yeah if I continue i shove
[16-2-2012 5:03:30] Bytie_nl: yep the sample was too small to draw big conclusions  i guess.  a fold, leaving me with enough Bb's to fight on was ok prolly to stay on the save side. Protecting my remaining chips would be more important than to gain some xtra, so in the end I am fine with it
[16-2-2012 5:04:06] Bytie_nl: thinking it true did help me tho to see the benefits of folding.. something I still need to learn to do more.. hehe
[16-2-2012 5:04:28] TPE member1: well in long run those guys who do that don.t usualy have nuts though
[16-2-2012 5:06:02] TPE member1: so hard $2 tourney it slows me down and have to think at that level
[16-2-2012 5:07:08] Bytie_nl: if they dont do that it wouldbe another argument for not folding.. bcause.. IF he had the nuts.. why would he bet so much to push me out of the pot right
[16-2-2012 5:07:41] TPE member1: yep the sample was too small to draw big conclusions  i guess.  a fold, leaving me with enough Bb's to fight on was ok prolly to stay on the save side. Protecting my remaining chips would be more important than to gain some xtra, so in the end I am fine with itand that is why they lead out hopeing for a fold
[16-2-2012 5:08:02] Bytie_nl: ya and the buyin level makes any play possible.. I will be glad when I have rebuild my br.. no shame in playing thes atm.. but defitely harder for me
[16-2-2012 5:08:37] TPE member1: yeah well u need to start somewhere
[16-2-2012 5:08:45] Bytie_nl: so in the end you would not have minded for me to reshove it in either :P?
[16-2-2012 5:09:28] Bytie_nl: yep I tuned down from 5 and 11 dolalr buyins to make a comeback after withdrawing my br at stars
[16-2-2012 5:10:00] TPE member1: if he checked and you bet turn u would be commited and he had no FE   or vey little
[16-2-2012 5:10:02] Bytie_nl: plasu the loosing year i had did not help either.. too many sng's at which I was breakeven at the most
[16-2-2012 5:10:29] Bytie_nl: correct onthe fe..if I bet I wont fold anymore
[16-2-2012 5:10:50] Bytie_nl: I am under the last 100 in 4k fields a LOT tho
[16-2-2012 5:11:10] Bytie_nl: so i need to take the last hurdle and let my best hand win at those times.. lol
[16-2-2012 5:11:26] TPE member1: so this way he gets a shot at you folding as his hand is weak and does not want to see river cars
[16-2-2012 5:11:31] TPE member1: card
[16-2-2012 5:11:38] Bytie_nl: not much in can do on that besides craeting an even biggr stack earlier imo
[16-2-2012 5:12:20] Bytie_nl: ya he could make the shot 1st.. which sucked 😛
[16-2-2012 5:13:19] TPE member1: nah just need to work out why players do different things  in the end we are only guesing  i have played like that against some players for those reasons
[16-2-2012 5:14:44] TPE member1: i should not use weak but vunerable might be better
[16-2-2012 5:15:54] Bytie_nl: if vulnerable my hand would stand out reasonably vs his perceived holdings after all
[16-2-2012 5:16:02] Bytie_nl: just maybe.. in trying to become a better player i' started to fold out just one too many….
[16-2-2012 5:16:36] Bytie_nl: but I was too stubbern to fold a long time..so folding becomes the equivalent of good play haha
[16-2-2012 5:16:45] Bytie_nl: not really.. j/k m8
[16-2-2012 5:17:09] TPE member1: nah your fold was ok but it was strange play by him i hope i have not mucked u around
[16-2-2012 5:17:26] Bytie_nl: I still love agression if thought through and has a base.. no dark tunnel bingo shooting..
[16-2-2012 5:18:32] Bytie_nl: I lov the reasoning we made about the different possibilities.. as this is what makes us better in the end..
[16-2-2012 5:19:19] Bytie_nl: they often say: IF a play is strange and does not seem to fit.. it might very well be a bluff
[16-2-2012 5:21:03] Bytie_nl: I guess I will call/raise in these spots often, but on very passive players i might keep folding.. the most important factor to weigh is is the stackratio vs the blinds and my standing in the mtt overall I guess…
[16-2-2012 5:21:39] TPE member1: yep that is a major part of it
[16-2-2012 5:22:20] Bytie_nl: thank you  for going through it with me man!
[16-2-2012 5:22:26] Bytie_nl: going to sleep now
[16-2-2012 5:22:34] Bytie_nl: appreciated!
[16-2-2012 5:22:41] TPE member1: ok gl i have chores to do see u later

———-

Later that day:
[3:14:36] Bytie_nl: 1) if it s a “normal “tag” or aggro i will reshove a lot
[3:14:49] Bytie_nl: 2) if its a very passive player i might fold again
[3:15:15] Bytie_nl: 3) all of this will also depend on the status of the mtt and my stack/blind ratio
[3:15:54] Bytie_nl: if I feel comfortable with an above avg stack i likely fold a little more easy and if I am under avg i might go for it
[3:16:08] Bytie_nl : for me that seems a fair solution
[3:17:01] TPE member1: yeah best thing about that u have a good sense of where u are in tourney and effect of calling will have good or bad

Hey guys, would love to join this group, never enough poker contacts on skype. I feel like there's some people I even talk about too much about strategy and they just get bored and frustrated so it might be better to get this stuff to a group channel laugh

 

I'm also interested in sharing screen or viewing others playing but as it's a quite a big group (I guess?) isn't there the risk being ghosted by someone who you really are playing against? I'm sure most of the guys here are trustworthy and all but you really never can be too careful about money stuff.. You know what I mean? Don't get me wrong, I love the atmosphere on this site.

 

Anyways, if somebody's threading this and if there's still space in the group please add me!

hey mate, we do that sometimes, thing is that you can put the links privately to people who are interested in sweating you. I dont think anyone on here is likely to ghost you tho, mainly cause people in chat know each others screen names and would point it out, plus people serious about the game arent interested in cheating

this – we have done it a few times before but never had any issues, but as duggs said you could always give out the link privately and not to the whole group if you suspect something
