Someone want to help me learn?

So I'm really interested in this game and have been trying to get good at it for a while. I've played about 3 games in RL and just broke 100 on goko. Still I feel like there are so many things I still need to learn.

Would anyone be willing to play with me on goko and help me out as I go along? I sometimes see players choose a card and I want to ask them why they would pick it as it doesn't make sense to me but most people in goko don't really answer. Even if you don't want to help I would love to just play against some higher rated people to see if I would choose the same as them.

I have read many articles and watched previous streams from people like wanderingwinder but I guess I would just enjoy some place where I can ask real time questions as they appear.

My goko username is Hydrad and I will pretty much be on for a while today I think. Just send me a PM or something and I would love to play. We also can just do casual if you don't want your pro rating to be affected, doesn't matter to me.

For anyone else, such a statement would be a scum tell.  For Hydrad, it's simply a tell that you're reading something from Hydrad.

There's also this thread which might be of help.

Bomb, Cannon, and many of the Gunpowder cards can strongly effect gameplay, particularly in a destructive way

I would be able to play with you sometime as well.  I am free almost every afternoon past 3:30 or so (forum time) so just send me a PM if you want to play.

Man. I had four strips of bacon yesterday. Was one automatically undercooked, one automatically overcooked? No, let's put a stop to that right here, all four strips were excellent.

If you want to win without getting better, you could play against me.

The first few videos talk mostly about mechanics, which you probably are familiar with, but after that it goes into strategy.

If you have the time to play scheduled matches, consider joining the league organized by Stef and company.  There are divisions for all skill/experience levels, threads dedicated to posting and discussing league matches, and sometimes matches even get live streams and commentary.  It's a good way to get practice against good competition and a nice forum to discuss the game.

it's a shame that full-random is the de facto standard

Ah yes thanks for that. I had actually already found those videos and watched them. They were really useful for me learning thanks for making them.

Awesome. Thanks for watching :) It's nice to hear that people are getting use out of them. I assume you've probably already seen SCSN's streams where he does something similar to what you want? If not, well then there's that too.

I'd be up for playing a few games with you some time, although sometimes I play weird strategies that don't work.
