We've launched a new training site . Our sites' pros are USCphildo, ghettofabolous/malicous222, FU_15, UHbigtex, Assassinato, Agame18, and herschelw. We offer a number of things that set us apart from the crowd. Your monthly membership gets you:All of our pros are offering coaching. You can find info and pricing on our Coaching and bios page.

We have a couple very cool promotions going on this month. On June 20th we're holding a member tournament where everyone who makes the final table will get a one on one lesson with one of our pros. Secondly, anyone who joins in June will get one month free added onto the end of thier membership(this is partly because it's a beta launch and we are going to have some minor issues this month getting things figured out).

I will be signing up this weekend.

I was going to use the PTP link, so I am glad I saw this thread

Talking Poker · #5 06-13-08, 06:21 PM

Likewise. Hersch and I have discussed some possible promos we could do for TP members who join through my link. TBD, depending how the response is. At the very minimum, I will personally hook up the people who sign up through me in one way or another.

jhill3535 · #6 06-14-08, 03:20 PM

signed up through the link just now with a 6 month sub paid by PayPal. Going to start working my way through the videos tonight!

Thanks.

I will. I have watched the first 2 parts of USCphildo's 2nd chance win and so far they are pretty good. He really has a different approach to the game than in most videos I have seen (I am also a member of PXF). But if you know anything about him, you would already know that he likes to open limp a lot and min raise a lot, but in the videos, he is able to verbalize why he is doing it.

I am really looking forward to the assassinato videos. I have heard great things about them. I plan on watching all the videos they have up over the next couple days and then watch all new videos as they are put up.

As soon as I am caught up, I will give a review and try to compare it with PXF as that is really the only reference point that I have as of now.

I also plan on picking this up in next couple days, I will compare it to cardrunners since like you that is only refrence point I have.

Just saw the sample videos...

Video 1: IMO would have been nice to see what he did on the river. Also if he announced his plan for a non heart non 9 turn if faced w the same bet.... the end just kinda left us hanging (more annoyed than wanting more). It also didn't give us any kind of a feel for what kind of videos there are (it was a fold to BB hand and 1 hand which was incomplete)

Video 2: Also fairly incomplete -- the TT hand was nice (there was a decision pre and post) but the only thing

Video 3: Excellent Clip. Solid analysis and explanations throughout, plus we got to see a few different situations (when to CB when not to etc). Also overall strategy was discussed i.e flatting with drawing hands OTB, tight play early etc

IMO adding more samples like 3 would be useful to potential customers interested in subscribing , as would perhaps a slightly longer clip, as i don't feel the clips of 1 and 2 show much

We're going to cut those videos differently. That page will be changed within the next couple of weeks.

So far so good. USCphildo's videos are good and give you a little different perspective than the usual. AGame18 seems to a lot like the standard PFX Pro. I really like the 2 videos Assassinato has up and I can't wait till the next. He really explains himself well.

One thing that I really like compared to PFX is that the pros are commenting on pretty much every hand, not just the hands they are involved in. PFX skips to the big hand that they play and explain why they did it, but the videos I have seen so far (about 12) really take the time to explain even the hands they aren't involved in and how this should help you develop your reads for later.

jhill3535 · #13 06-21-08, 12:49 PM

I would like to add that AGame18's videos are really good as well. He takes a lot of time to explain his thinking behind every move and to analyze hands from other players at the table. When I said he was like the standard PXF style Pro, I was talking more about his tournament strategy than his teaching ability.
