Maybe in 6 months to a year's time - Although if I do it now, at my current level I could start moulding my very own fish... Hmmmm#2

I highly recommend becoming a volunteer hand judge if you consider yourself a proficient player wanting to take your poker to the next level. I started out as a volunteer hand judge and found it to be really helpful in improving my own game and it eventually lead to a paid position in the pokerstrategy team. its a great way to help the community out and really good for constant self review.#4

What's the difference between being a volunteer hand judge and simply replying in the hand discussion threads as a basic/gold/diamond etc. member?#5
MrMardyBum, 01 Dec 11 12:01
If this opportunity arises again in 6 months and I am beating my limit - I will take it - However - I would really need someone watching over my shoulder I feel at the moment - So would kind of be counter-productive for you as a company at the moment :)#6

"your poker history" ---> please be more specific.#7

@4 voluntary handjudges will be given the avatar of a handjudge. This states that PokerStrategy.com trusts their poker skills in regards to the judged stakes. Also our hand judges take automatically part in our reward system - they can get free status upgrades up to diamond & sometimes get free coaching sessions/other opportunities in the community on top.@6: In general we would appreciate if you send us a link to 3-4 hands that you helped to evaluate as a user over the past weeks. Of course any other information about what you currently play, how you are improving your game is greatly appreciated.

Mopenza, 01 Dec 11 15:29
rly nice opportunity, would suggest anyone who got time for that, try it out!#10
sausage646, 01 Dec 11 17:25
wait if you become a hand judge - does it means you cant post hands where you are unclear what you should do... since you are the Judge, right?#11
SvenBe, 01 Dec 11 18:31
@8 - yes, in fact we will have a news about the MTT-forum tomorrow as well@10 - usually our hand judges evaluate one stake lower then they play themselves. Plus you are of course still invited to post hands yourself!
