Hey guys, I promised that I'd make a post today about my new group coaching sign-ups, so here it goes. It may be a little curt because I have some friends in town from D.C., but I just wanted to give you a quick curriculum run-down and price, along with a few tips if it'll be worth it for you or not and I'll append a few details either in a new post or in the comments section of this pot.

1. The price is $2,000 per person.

2. Payment gets you 8 lessons total (5 sweats, one for each person in the group, and 3 theory lessons in presentation format), barring a scheduling conflict. What I mean when I say "scheduling conflict" is that there are an odd number of students, so I'll have to readjust the numbers for each group. I'll do this in favor for you guys because I truly believe it's all about you. I'll give contact information of former students who agree (I haven't spoken to any about this yet, I'm sure many will agree to it) just so you guys can get an unbiased testimony from them. I can post quotations here about what my former students liked about my coaching, but you guys my be skeptical and not trust it, so I want you to hear about it from the horse's mouth.

3. If you'd like to sign-up with a group of friends, please let me know and I'll cater to your needs and make plans for you guys to all be in a group.

4. If you play 100nl, really consider if this is worth it for you. All of you guys will get much better at poker, but I don't want to take 1/3 your role and slow your poker growth that much more. So consider the expected value of what you can do and what you think I can do for you versus how much it's going to cost you. Let me know, there's always next time the lessons start up guys.

5. Lessons are typically an hour to an hour and a half and are recorded with Camtasia and Pamela (a Skype recorder) while we use Teamviewer or Mikogo, whichever is working best, to share screens while we critique play during the sweat sessions. I send out the theory presentations to you guys along with audio, just to save space on your computers. [

B] *[/b]Please make sure that you have a good connection because it's pretty frustrating and embarrassing when I think someone is good to go and they disconnect a lot because they're at their friend's mom's sister's place and we have to get creative to find someone else prepared well enough to sweat.* If we get started late, I don't take it out of our allotted time or if we start on a subject, I'm not going to cut people off just because we're out of time.

6. Lessons are once per week at a time that we all agree on. Sometimes I have to reschedule, but I try to give as much notice as possible (other than the one time I forgot my mic and realized I didn't pack it 5 minutes before the lesson was supposed to start. Sorry again guys!

7. Be wary of daylight savings time if you're outside of the USA.

8. Like I said, I'll group students together based on a few different factors: skill level (see above), time zones (try to avoid making you get up at 10am if you live in Australia), friends (above), and repeat customers.

9. You'll get access to my private coaching forum where I'm especially active and, more importantly, other students are active and always organizing sweats with one another. My goal is not only to get you guys better in the 2 months or so during which we are working together, but also to create a network you have access to long-after our coaching is over. If you put in the effort, you'll find like-minded people out there ready to get better and to succeed with you. I strongly recommend utilizing this part of the group lessons because a lot of what I know from poker has come from conversations with friends about spots or extrapolating from those conversations.

I think this is going to be the basic run-down for now. Like I said, I'll elaborate soon. For those of you who would like to be repeat customers, and I've had a few, I'll incorporate a few different theory lessons for you guys, at least one, because the main 3 or 4 I use are extremely popular and have even gotten me a few requests to be sold on their own (they won't be).

Good luck guys, PM me or leave comment for sign-up requests. Also, please message me your real name, AIM screen name, email address, skype name, and either or both of your Full Tilt Poker or PokerStars names so that we can be in touch.

-Reid


EDIT: I added some more information. PM me if you'd like contact with any former students, I'm not sure if it's ok with them to post contact information here, but there are a few I've checked with who are fine with being contacted by people with legitimate interest in the program.
