    Hey,

    Ive done an article that the owner of Holdem Manager is thinking of purchasing. Its basically a 30 page document that concentrates on plugging leaks, theres about 85 areas i concentrate on and each has a filter. When i say 85 there could be 15 filters for 3betting and 15 for flush draws as the filters cover both basic and detailed things like 1 filter might cover just calling a 3bet, another might be where they called a 3bet with a certain range of hands and went to showdown.

    Each general section like 3betting,blinds,Double Barrelling etc has a short peice on how i recommend to play which is probably only relevant to Micro and Small Stakes players. For each filter it has an area for you to enter your results and what your goals are for this area as in does it need to be improved etc with the idea being you assess where your leaks are and then in 1 month or x amount of hands later you review again but probably concentrate on the areas which werent up to scratch the last review and see if theyve improved and if not then spend some time finding why the leak still exists.

    For each filter i have already configured all the settings, you just need to go to Load filters and select the filter and just press refresh and review your results and enter them into the word doc either by print or typing it in whichever is handiest. Im also doing some research hopefully through the HM site where they will be asking winning TAGs with big samples to fill out the form and return it to me so i can try and get some averages of what people who are winning are achieving and so for each filter i hope to have a range that if your playing well you should be in so you can see if your performing below or above average. Of course different styles of play will have varying results like an aggressive double barreller and a passive double barreller but for the most part these estimated ranges should be helpful. It should also help to find leaks that people just dont notice or see when posting HH. Obviously with any stats reviews it needs a big sample to let the variance even out so no point in doing this with 10k hands.

    On that note if anyone here is interested in filling out the form that uses HM please contact me by PM. Youll need to be playing 50nl or higher, be a breakeven or winning player and have in the region of 60k+ stats to review. The only thing i can offer you in return is getting to beta test before most people, sorry:o

    Anyway he wants to buy this from me but hes not sure what to pay and i havent a clue so i thought that since a good few people do articles that post here they might have an idea. How do you value something like this, is it by the hours i put in at a certain rate or how do you value it.

    Im not looking to milk anyone and to be honest alot of the motivation for this came from another project i was working on and my own personal desire to find my own leaks but as ive been chatting to Roy at HM for the last few weeks and probably longer about certain stats we ended up in a situation where he offerred to buy it which was not the original intention but now i just want to make sure im getting a reasonbly fair price.

    I dont have any interest in publishing a website to host it and try and make money on an affiliate level because since its a word document it can be easily saved and posted elsewhere so i think just selling it to Roy would be best. Plus he dosent have an affiliate program setup

    So id appreciate any advice you can give me and you can reply or PM whichever is handiest.

    Thanks

    I was offered £80 for 1000 words by WPT magazine through someone on blonde poker FWIW. I'd imagine that you should look for more given the increased complexity of what you are doing.

    Thinly veiled brag IMO.

    for 30 pages of 12 point text or whatever and assuming it's as good as it sounds I'd ask for €5k, if it is that good it is definitely worth that much to other people.
