Monthly session ends soon! (Pick a time for your group coaching)

Hi all,The month is coming to a close. Somewhere between 4/11 and 4/15, depending on when I gave you access, it'll run out. Some thoughts specifically between now and then:For people who chose the $50 + 15% plan: 1. You must have completed by the end of your access, at the very minimum, 200 games at the $10 level or above, in order to qualify for a group coaching session. Based on what I gather from sharkscope, chugenemes, Mareen, reallymonkeyish, and Lebo44 are all well under that mark (correct me if I'm wrong). That's almost half of the people on the staked plan who won't be participating, which is a little sad. But so it is.2. For everyone on the staked plan, even if you're not going to qualify for the group coaching session, get ready to calculate what you owe. If you didn't write down your approximate join date, I have that for you. I'm going to go mostly on the honor system that people aren't screwing me over, so I trust you to do your own calculations based on your tracking software if scope missed games, etc, but if your number seems off, I'll audit it. Even if you only made $40 this month, I'd still like my $6 share - if only to not feel like the staked option was a complete failure :) If you're in the red for the month, you don't owe anything, sorry to hear about the bad month. Please post questions so that I can help you out!For everyone: 1. Make the most of your last few days of access! Ask me anything. If there's anything that's made you unsatisfied about the program, come talk with me now when I can still do something about it. This is a program where you really have to make the most of it, so please do so :)2. Group coaching. I'd like to schedule these for the next two weeks. Given 16 participants, 6 of which want to focus on ST, I think here's what we'll have:ST group: JSH, Nicoasp, Andres_A, bbq, kingkong, xDmi3Turbo/Reg speed Group #1: jackoneill, zzztilt, kasparovski, kcald4, MeatwadTurbo/Reg speed Group #2: ThisWillFitForSure, Xereles, squire, jacktheshipper, piratematerialWe'll add and subtract to these groups depending on who makes the volume requirement. Pleast post which of the following days might work for you, and if so, what times on those days: April 13th, April 14th, April 15th, April 17th, April 18th. If none of those dates work for everyone in the group, we'll look for a later date and time. Finally, thank you to all of you for being such great students! You've all been a pleasure to work with, and I look forward to the group coaching sessions. My current plan is to re-evaluate the program in April, get your feedback, and re-launch it for a session starting May 1st, probably with an application process and changed rates. For those of you interested in continuing in the program, definitely fill out the application when I post it (probably around April 24th).All the best,mers

You're a superstar zZzTilt :)

You're a superstar zZzTilt :) Asked the most questions, got some of the best results of the staked group... reminds me of a comic:(Alt text: Correlation doesn't imply causation, but it does waggle its eyebrows suggestively and gesture furtively while mouthing 'look over there'.)

http://img714.imageshack.us/i/unled1q.jpg/=( Was doing well single tabling the reg speeds then tried to move up/ play turbos/ add another table and with running bad it was chaos. I think it has also something to do with me getting a few punches in the head this weekend, still feeling dizzy and def not playing my A game. Already drooped one level and will stick with the reg speeds for now, just hope things will get better again (both with my luck and with my brain) and can make you some more moniez.Even thought it's not over yet and i feel i could've made more off it (made more questions etc), i read most of what was posted here and fell like i learned a lot so thanks.

I suck at poker.  Seriously

I suck at poker.  Seriously though - I was cruising along at a steady 6-7% roi and signed up for this thing and have fallen off the cliff.  Not going to post a shame graph.  Forget winning a flip - if I could get a 70%+ favorite to stay down I would be doing awesome.  I played a $10 tournament today with $56 dollars in EV and a loss.  On the + side I do feel like I am playing better even though my results don't show it. I got plenty of value out of this for $50 thats for sure.  And to think I debated which payment plan to choose. As for the group coaching - I am available between 10am until 5 pm every weekday (not the 17th).

I'd prefer a weekday during the day (eastern US time) but if others are unable to do that then I'm sure I can make other days/times work too.

Mers, when access

The preliminary result of my month is about +500$. Next month I need a coaching for running better (see my EV graph):-)  http://picfront.de/d/89xeMers, when access to the forum is over I will send you a mail with my final calculation of the month and send you your 15%  my success by FT transfer. OK? Another question: When will we fix the date/time for the skype session? I think it will be difficult to do, when the first of us has no longer access to the forum?

I'll be in contact via

I'll be in contact via email/2+2 PM if we don't get times squared away before access expires.Great job on the month! I'll throw some lucky "mers dust" your way to fix the EV discripency.

OK, let's start setting

OK, let's start setting times.For the ST group, let's do 2:00pm U.S. EST on April 14th. I think that's 8:00pm Central European Time, but double check me on that. I'll send everybody messages and see if we can confirm that. I'll also ask about an alternate time, which is 2:00pm U.S. EST on April 13th.For Turbo group #1, let's try 1:00pm U.S. EST on April 18th.For Turbo group #2, let's try 3:00pm U.S. EST on April 18th. I'll send emails/PMs out to everybody, and hopefully this works.
