Commenting on a players game

edited January 2014 in Poker Chat
I know the forum can be used for commenting on specific hands and how villain/hero played a particular hand or situation. What about commenting on a players actual game, i.e. a cash session, MTT or SNG where you have sat with the player.

Is this allowed on the forum? Would it be bad etiquette to do this or to ask for this?

The reason I ask is I don't particularly have a lot of people I know who play poker, and those that do will play a home game and not really take much to do with online and the differences that online poker has. Lets say I wanted to open a thread that invited comments about my game, good and bad, and stated I was willing to take the criticism and any abuse that came with that? Would this be considered poor form? Would I be asking players to give away too much information for free?

As stated above, there isn't really much of an option to get people to run over sessions or history to look at what I did good or bad but there could be forum members willing to point out the bad bits to help improve my game. I think watching videos and posting hands is good but identifying real areas of weakness from people who understand and play the game a lot would be more beneficial.

Would it work? Is it possible? Is it just pie in the SKY!!!!

    Not poor form at all, perfectly fine. If other players don't want to give away their secrets, they don't have to Post.
     
    Constructive criticism is absolutely fine, but they would not be permitted to abuse you, that would be poor form. & not acceptable.
     
    There are few places more helpful than this Community when a player wants some help, or comment, on their game.
     
    Good luck.

    No worries Boss.

    PS - it is tikay. Or Tony Kendall. Sir, if you wish. Mr Kendall even. But never teeks. Miss Fowler carries responsibility for this. She will regret it.

    GREGHOGG
    TommyD
    MattBates

    In fact, abuse of these players' games is positively encouraged. :)

    So, Sir Tony 'Tikay' Kendall is the full title then. I have to say I prefer Tea Cakes though.

    Tikay been derailing again? ;)

    I think its fine OP, I did the same thing a couple of years ago, although most people replied and said that people prob won't want to give away their info, at least not in a public forum.

    I'd reply but very rarely see you at the tables

    Thanks Lambert. To be fair to Sir Tony "Tikay" Kendall it wasn't really his fault for derailing the thread. I knew his Tonyness had a soft spot for the name that can not be mentioned!!!!!

    Getting back on topic, I kinda thought most people wouldn't really want to comment on another players game on the forum. I just thought I would bring it up and see if there was any appetite for it. 

    I think it will be a long time before I make it to the levels you play at Lambert.....well at least if I want to operate sound BRM. :)
