HokieGreg, FrankThomas8, RBJ to Lead August HUSNG Bootcamps in Spain
July 27th, 2011 - Two new HUSNG bootcamps are taking place in August. The first is being led by FrankThomas8 and RBJ, two video contributors on HUSNG.com. The second bootcamp is being led by veteran HUSNG coach HokieGreg. Both camps are being held at a large villa in Spain, just outside of Barcelona.
The first camp begins August 16th and finishes on August 22nd. The cost of the camp is $1300 (or 900 Euros) and in addition to the poker coaching the price also includes sleeping arrangements and three full meals per day. RBJ and FrankThomas8 have previously been involved in a similar bootcamp earlier this year, which was led by Pistons87 (Note: Pistons87 is not involved in either August HUSNG bootcamp). Attendence has been capped at ten students and six of those spots have already been reserved.
The second camp begins August 25th and concludes August 31st. HokieGreg will be leading the second camp, which is capped at six students. HokieGreg has been at the top of the Merge profit leaderboards in the months after black friday. At the time of publishing this article, he had earned over $32,000 in heads up sng profit on the Merge network in under 1,000 total games. HokieGreg has previously worked with former HUSNG.com instructor PrimordialAA in an Austin, Texas bootcamp. This time HokieGreg will be the primary coach, with guest coaches provided (via Skype) which include HUSNG end game specialist Mersenneary and noted mental game coach Jared Tendler. HokieGreg has been supporting Mersenneary in his acclaimed FastTrack program, a private, intensive heads up sng coaching and study group. The cost of the HokieGreg camp is $2300 (or 1600 Euros). The cost of the camp also includes lodging and three full meals per day.
About the Villa
The spanish villa, dubbed "The No Worries Villa," is located in Montacada, Spain, about 15 minutes from downtown Barcelona. At the villa, which operates as a hostel year round, HUSNG bootcamp attendees will have an entire floor to themselves. In addition they can enjoy many activies, including a swimming pool, beach volley court and 24 hour classroom/grindroom equipped with backup internet. Students can spend $5 on a train ticket to Barcelona and enjoy everything the great city has to offer.
For questions or to reserve a spot at the camp, contact camp organizer Geoff "Palinca" Davout at meteorpils@hotmail.fr.
Geoff gave me a pair of new pictures of the bootcamp to post, I'll resize those later on when I'm back at the computer and post them.
This seems like a great value even if it were just a vacation. Throw in the poker bootcamp and you've got an amazing deal.
doh
Here are the pair of pics Palinca sent me.
I'm in Toronto and would be great to have one here or Montreal since Primordial is there.
I just send an email. I hope there are still places left
I believe there are still 1-2 spots left at the Hokie camp and 2-3 at the RBJ/FT camp, but I'm not positive.
Hey eric, just sent you an email back. There are about 4 or 5 spots left in the FT8/RBJ camp and 2 or 3 in the Hokie one, so you're not too late!Hit me up on skype ;)
