kobeyard about Hand Evaluations - Five Days left to Make Use of our Promotion

Our hand evaluation promotion is over a week old. Silver and Gold hand evaluation forums opened to Bronze members for 2 entire weeks. High stakes player kobeyard also argues for hand evaluations in our interview.

All German and English hand evaluation forums, up to and including Gold, have opened their doors to Bronze members.

Another excellent producer kobeyard argues in favour of hand evaluations as a means to improve your game.

Interview with kobeyard

PokerStrategy.com: Hello kobeyard, please tell us a few things about yourself and how the hand evaluation forums helped you with your career.

kobeyard: Hello everyone, some of you may already know me from the numerous videos I have released for PokerStrategy.com. For those who do not, I have been playing FL at the higher stakes for a while now.

Especially at the beginning of my career, the hand evaluation forums helped me tremendously, because they gave me the opportunity to thoroughly discuss specific hands.

PokerStrategy.com: How did you approach our hand evaluation forums at the very beginning?

kobeyard: I basically used the hand evaluation forums from the very beginning, mainly as a passive reader. After some time as my self-confidence grew, I started participating actively.

PokerStrategy.com: What do you consider special about hand evaluation forums and why is it so important to use them as a learning platform, even when there are many other offers such as videos and coaching sessions?

kobeyard: Hand evaluations give you the opportunity to discuss specific concepts in much more detail. Over time, the archive of hand evaluations grows and can be a great support in every poker player’s learning process.

PokerStrategy.com: Are there specific situations in which you would particularly recommend our PokerStrategists to use our hand evaluation forums?

kobeyard: I think that particularly during downswings the hand evaluation forum can be extremely important. With every hand posted in such situations, you enter a win-win situation.

Either the users or professional hand evaluators confirm your play and help you regain confidence in your own game, or they draw your attention to potential leaks and mistakes which help you improve your game.

PokerStrategy.com: Is there anything you would like to add regarding our PokerStrategists or our hand evaluation forums?

kobeyard: Only players who play an active role in the learning process and stop being passive consumers of the content will improve their game substantially.

PokerStrategy.com: Thank you very much for your time and the informative interview.
