How do you endorse a player after they've left or the game is over?

Does anybody know how? Replay says you have 24 hours to endorse a player, so there must be a way, right? Any of you guys know?

I know if you go to your profile, click on hands, and find a hand that you both were playing on. When you hit replay the hand, while it is replaying you can go to the chat box, hit endorse, pick which endorsement you want to give, and itā€™s done. If thereā€™s an easier way I havenā€™t found it, but this works. Hope this helps.

Welcome to the Forum, Danny. Great question! I am glad to learn this optionā€“Had no clue! Good luck at the tables and visit the Forum often. We all learn from each other.

Hi
What is the significance of helping hand endorsements?

I think itā€™s a way to thank a player who has been helpfulā€“explaining something or being friendly. Itā€™s likely the least prized and least awarded endorsement, but itā€™s handy when itā€™s appropriate.

I think just click on that person, then find the table they are playing at now and sit in on a hand there and endorse them.

Iā€™m sure the helping hand endorsement wasnā€™t intended to be used this way, but in almost all cases when it is used, it is used to ā€˜endorseā€™ bad play. Iā€™m sure we all know what bad play in poker means, but a quick summary of typical examples of being a ā€˜helping handā€™:

  • Donkey. A donkey plays every hand but plays it aggressively. Someone will win a lot of chips if thereā€™s a donkey at the table.
  • Fish. A fish flat calls with any hand - absolutely never folds (because itā€™s ā€œall just luckā€) - and chases all the way to showdown.
  • Bluffs gone wrong.
  • Very easily pushed off a hand because you think your opponent always has the nuts.
  • Player meltdown. Player on tilt, giving away chips like itā€™s Christmas.
  • Failure to fold a hand, when it was obvious you shouldā€™ve folded (e.g., you have top pair, but ten, jack, queen and king are on the table).
  • Limping in with pocket aces and losing to trash.

Just type in their name, go to the table they are at, play a hand and endorse them, thatā€™s what i do.
