I'm usually not that big of an Eminem fan, but this song seems pretty cool and appropriate in a nerdy sort of way. In the spirit of trying to make this the biggest group coaching group I've ever undertook, I'm posting the information again. I've been taking some time off from coaching in the past few weeks and now I'm ready to hit the ground running with the new group lessons. If you've had coaching from me in the past and you know a friend who might want to sign up, holler at them and we can put you guys in the same group or just holler at them if you like them getting better at poker! So much of what makes people better in poker is the network of people around them. So I'm asking you guys to kick start the networking, and maybe grab some guys who may not see this blog. For everyone else who has PM'ed or emailed me in the past few weeks, check your inbox here for details on payment if you haven't already paid. A few of my former students have been kind enough to field questions from potential students, so if you have any questions like the "is it worth it" and "how awesome is this really" then those are your guys to get the (confirmed unbiased) answers. Speaking of former students, I'd like to formally welcome Marvin (Steel108) to LeggoPoker! He's a beast and I'm glad he's ended up in our camp for now. Below I've copied my former blog entry to get things out in the open a bit more and let you guys know all the information I can think of about my group lessons. As always, post or PM me questions and I'll be happy to work with you to figure everything out and to make sure you are able to make an informed decision about signing up. It's been a bit since I've posted, so I hope you guys are all doing well! I look forward to hearing from you guys about your struggling buds or just to shoot the breeze about how the poker-coaster is treating you. -Reid Quote:
1. 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
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. The price is $2000 per person. 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.
