- Similar to Chadders pack.- Usually a single coach, we only so far have plans for a guest coach 30-60 minutes in a few packs that will be released this year.- Chadders is remastering his pack (adding some full new footage and adding some summaries of each video with a year later perspective). We have two high level hyper packs in the works as well, but they aren't quite near completion so I'll tease them when appropriate.- Correct, the price for buying everything total will be higher. However, the quality of content will be a lot higher. This format will allow me to get something like consistent H2Olga videos, since he has more incentive to produce (revenue sharing options with coaches). This format will also allow us to get better focused videos too on a consistent basis, not just 80% gameplay videos like the membership setup ends up being (I could pay for concept videos in the membership format more often, but it would end up creating even more delays on video schedules, something that was getting out of hand to begin with).And when I say higher, I mean if you bought everything for the next 12 months. In the next 12 months we may also end up with more hours of content than we previously released too, but the reason for costing more to buy every single thing would be the added focused content that we'll have to the site. Long term, it probably allows us to get a 5 hour pack out of a very high level player versus one or two guest videos over a 6 month period. There's been several successful players that have made videos here, had a fine time, but found even if they were paid 150% of their rate, they still wouldn't have a ton of incentive to make videos regularly. A lot of guys I just had a good relationship with and even though they were paid very well, a lot of reason they did a video or two was probably to appease my constant questions and semi nagging.Under this system, they are 100% tied to success, so if they don't like their pay, it's going to be due to a lack of sales directly on the product that they create. And my time will be freed up some from the rigors of membership video scheduling to where I can help guide players creating packs and I'll have plenty of time to work on making sure there are clear video previews, detailed descriptions and exposure to the marketplace.Overall these changes should result in a higher level of quality for members, specifically mid to high stakes players that want more higher level content consistently up on the site.

We may look at doing this in the near future, but probably not until after the first month of free regular content + video packs. We'll monitor our hosting space, that way we can better estimate what a change like that would cost us in terms of space.

If we can work it out, having a minimum post requirement would work out fine for PM access.What we want to avoid is any non member being able to PM, due to spam and security concerns.Members + users with 50 posts might be a future requirement that I think would suffice.

who these guys are?
can we have infos about them, screenames, stakes level, ecc.
thanks

- Anyone that bought Chadders pack before will get the updated videos (you might have to email, we might have some other way to get them to you). No extra charge.- It's an advantage because it allows us to get a lot more focused content out of authors, and it also will allow us to grab some authors we previously could not grab because we could not revenue share on a video pack.- Members have been telling us that they want more of certain players and the membership revenue just can't justify it in certain cases, or it's difficult to get production from some guys for 3-6 month periods. This lets us give you focused packs from producers, getting the best out of coaches when they have the time, rather than trying to make them consistent when professional poker players have to deal with the challenges of staying consistent at the tables to begin with.- At the end of the day, if we offered the exact same thing we did now, it would either cost the same (meaning we were previously priced right), cost more (meaning we were previously underpriced) or cost less (meaning we were previously priced too high). People buying the video packs will drive decisions in 2013. If a heads up cash pack sells extremely well, we'll make another one and look to fill any voids from the first successful one, building upon that success. If a turbo pack does poorly, we can assess why and either try another one a bit more cautiously or we can scrap it in favor of a more popular hyper focused pack.- But we're going to be offering more (at least initially) and we'll see how "producing more, better, focused content with coaches better aligned to success" does for the revenue numbers and feedback from users. We'll base future decisions on that, but this decisions is based on feedback from users. We're getting a lot of "we want this coach" or "we want this game type" or "I really want to work on math" or "I really want to work on postflop play, 10-15bb play, etc." And video packs are really going to allow us to do that better than before.- We're also going to be able to expand. I couldn't justify spending membership money on heads up cash videos normally, well under half the members of this site have any interest in it. However, clearly a small % of members have a ton of interest in heads up cash, and a small % want to learn. Having this format allows us to have Barewire make a heads up cash package.Let me know if you have any questions. This is a bit longer than I anticipated, but it should be a lot of info to look through.

Hi,No, the premium membership has no more new videos beginning October 1st.Video packs will be sold separately.You'll likely get more of what you want for $540 per year (the previous yearly premium rate) in the current system than with the premium membership.You won't likely want to subscribe to the premium membership more than once after October 1st, since no new videos are included. The price reflects the value of the membership to those that haven't seen the videos/seen any new premium videos in awhile, and the 3 months is to give them plenty of time to download what they want. But it will be similar to Chadders pack, once you buy the premium once after October 1st, you're not going to get anything new, so it will be a one time purchase.The old 3 month price was $165, but of course that included new videos.

Thanks. I didn't realize we had new math questions. The webmaster updated some spam stuff.Though I've deleted a few spats of spam in the last week, it hasn't been as bad as it previously was for awhile.

Hi Luis,The standard membership is $25 right now for 1 month. On october 1st, no new videos will be added to the standard membership and users can buy access to the 400+ videos already in there for $50 (and they have 3 months to download any videos they wish).There are literally definitely some lower stakes videos on PokerStars of hyper turbos. Take a look at Coffeeyay, Cog Dissonance and  some of my older videos, but don't leave out the higher level stuff.We'll also get a focused pack on lower stakes hypers in the next month or two. We haven't had as many micro buyin hyper videos lately, it's just been too tough on our hyper guys who are very pressed to time. So the new format can resolve that by releasing a lower stakes hyper pack totally focused on lower stakes players, and if it is very popular we can probably make a second one for players within a month or two after.An example like the above will make things a lot more organized and easy for people to find and buy what they want. Expect lower stakes hyper packs to range from $15-50.

Send me an email Friday or later (rypac13@husng.com) and we'll work something out.

There will be more than 1 math video ;) likely another 6

Thursday or Friday. The $120 is a better deal though, $120 for 800+ videos for one month vs $150 for 800+ videos for 3 months (no new videos after Thursday), the $120 is better (we didn't want to raise the price in the last few months before changes).The reason we have a few extra days of videos here is because I was really pushing for more videos since we had that 2-3 weeks of less videos on the site in late August/early September, but now people are making videos a lot more frequently.

New videos go into packs and not the premium membership.We only have plans to take some of Coffeeyay's math in HUSNG series and put it in his math pack, but he'll have 3+ hours of new material in there. Otherwise, every single future pack has zero plans to use any premium or standard membership content.I didn't want to wait for the transition period to have the members see Coffeeyay's math videos and since he had so many more math videos in him, it just made the most sense to do it this way.

Hi Ryan,what do you mean by "class" pack, as mentioned for bernardc and cog?thanks

We're only planning on the next 3 months or so. We should have 5 or more released by November 1st. I know it's been a little slow launching, but we're getting there and my optimism on scheduling and timing ended up being a little bit off. Then again, I can't see myself changing much if I could go back a month, if I said packs would start releasing on October 15th, many people would end up finishing them in November, that's kind of how it goes with the video industry, but after launch it shouldn't be an issue.Back to your questions, we plan on anywhere from 1 pack a month to 3 packs in a month. We're not going to go with a set plan on how many packs we release, if people want more hyper content, we'll get a hyper pack going and as soon as we can get a high quality one launched we will. If people want another hu cash pack, or a hu PLO pack, same. We're not going to be releasing stuff and then trying to sell it into 2013, but more of responding to what users tell us (with their money and their posts) they want.It's tough to answer the comment about Skates hu cash video. That was such a rare and unique video, I'm not sure a situation like that will ever come up again. Though if Skates for some reason made a "for real, final video" tomorrow and sold it to us, we would likely release it in short segments for free. If it were an hour or longer, perhaps we'd attach a small price tag to it and sell it separately.I liked JTS tournament series and it had fair to good reviews throughout. I would say if that never came out but I had the content today, it would release for a lower price point, so it would be a decision for you to make on spending $25 to $50 on it, or passing. There will be plenty of free clips of all the video packs too, so you'll have an idea of the content before purchasing, so if we could rewind and the site were in video pack format for the JTS series, you could've seen 5-15 minutes of free clips from it and then decided if you wanted to spend $25-50 on it, and judging by your comments of the series, you would probably be more likely than not to end up buying it.I think this is the last question you had, but bump this if I missed one: As far as buying everything for one price goes, I really want to do this and planned to do it, but I haven't made a final decision. Once we have 5 or 6 packs up, I'll see if it is feasible to do a "buy every pack for x price, which is a _ _ % discount off the full price." I don't think we can make it a membership thing, only "buy every pack you see today" and then adjust the price as we add new packs or discount old packs (you'll see more price changes in this format over time, both up and down to be honest, though it'll be more common to see prices go down over time of course).
