Handreading!?

Hey Everybody,I got a question I have got some problems with handreading. An when I think I know what hand he has a often call to see if i am right?!:DAnd i think i bet 2nd barrel maybe to much with air,or make pots to big so I hope somebody can give me advice about somethings.I have a ITM finish from ~58,7% over 230 games on the $7, but i run above EV. In some spots I think my game is okay but in others I think I have a big leak.Ciao!

1 : Stop call when you dont

1 : Stop call when you dont have the odds according to your read  2 : Pay you some coaching and post some hand history

Pay attention to opponent,

Pay attention to opponent, get read, get better at making notes and trust your reads. You will get better at this and stop making the had-to-see-if-im-right-calls eventually. Study hard!

Thank you very much for youre

Thank you very much for youre reaction all. I have some reqeust to some coaches here from the site. Also i have some video's witch I can watch, but the problem is when I see it, it looks so easy but when I play I have troubles with it. I am also on a dutch forum, but there aren't to much HUsng players, 2p2 I don't watch to often maybe I should more but I only read some of the stickys and don't post my own handhistoriies. Cause my english sn't that good that I can't make my opion so clear is I like to do it.

Coaching

I offer coaching in Dutch. I have an add on 2plus2 but it wouldn't be fair to other coaches on here that actually pay or make video's for an add on this site to post it. The only reason I'm even posting this is because you say that if you decide on coaching it would have to be in Dutch anyways. If you want to talk you can add me on skype. I can also provide you with the link there. Skype id= renemooi

It wouldn't be fair so you

It wouldn't be fair so you just mention that you coach instead of linking to a page?  That's not the type of logic you look for in a coach!It's ok to offer services to somebody that is looking for something not offered here, though I'd prefer people that don't know me (RJRJ does know me) to ask first if it's in any way borderline, otherwise it'll risk deletion for being too spammy or risky looking.

My bad ( but good reasoning )

Ryan, when I started coaching a few months ag I needed some people to try out with. I e-mailed you at the time asking if I could approach this guy since he was Dutch. I was and am pretty sure that your response was along the line of: "you can but I don't think he'll be intrested".I never did approach him at the time and honestly the only reason I didn't ask is that I didn't want to bother you with it. Would you let people just pay for the add. Or would they have to make video's ( I know we have discussed it but I just can't get myself to make vids ). If you don't want t answer here, just shoot me an e-mail.RJ

Well i think I don't use a

Well i think I don't use a coach for now. I have read alot last days here and on 2p2, and if looked at my stats in holdem manager, and saw that my have a roi 12.3% on the $7, over a sample of 263 games. ITM finish of 58,6%.I was completly focussed to get a ITM finish of 60% or higher but didn't know that this was a tough case to reach. So I thought wenn I had became under the 60% that there was a problem with my game, and it will probably now also but I think it is good enough to climb trough the stakes and wenn I am at a level where I struggle maybe it is better than to take some coaching. and maybee it is better for now to take a membership is also much cheaper! Sorry for making trouble Ryan

Is it also better to not use

Is it also better to not use stats anymore? And more rely on youre own findings off the player?

I didn't know this was a guy

I didn't know this was a guy you may have talked to me about, RJ.I just meant that you said you couldn't link to your 2p2 coaching ad because it wouldn't be fair, but how then would it be fair to mention you were coaching here and to add you on Skype?I'm not terribly worried about it anyways, I was just pointing out that your reasoning did not make sense to me (I wasn't upset or anything).Coaching pages for now are only available to coaches that make videos (it's a little more lenient if a coach has made videos on here in the past too), but that may change in the future.For now we just think it's better to keep the ads as a valuable resource for coaches that contribute on the site and the money we would charge for ads would not likely be enough to justify adding non video making coaches to the ads.Also your case is pretty rare, you're the only coach that has asked to put a coaching page up without doing any videos, usually if somebody is willing to coach privately they are willing to do videos, though I can certainly see why you might dislike doing videos but enjoy coaching (especially if you coach in dutch and do not enjoy speaking english as much in a video).Anyways, no hard feelings RJ, shoot me an email if you're ever interested in video making and we can take a look at a sample video by you and discuss further after reviewing it (that's our procedure for most potential coaches).  If we ever decide to open up the coaching ads to non video contributors, I'll email you right away.Sorry for not seeing the reply until now.
