This looks pretty sweet if you ask me. I saw some discussion of it elsewhere and checked out the demo video and it sounds like it would be an amazing tool for working on tournament play. If you're too lazy to click the link, johnnybax and sheets, 2 successful online pros, will be producing flash videos of some of their tournaments and offering commentary.

Check it out. A negative is that it's a little pricey for me. It seems like it would pay for itself pretty quickly though. One thing I'm not sure about is whether your subscription is cancelled if you miss a month. It sounds like it is, and that would really blow.

Opinions?

149 bucks? No thanks.

Brilliant idea (unless the poker sites get pissed that they are showing video of their sites).

But no, I will not be paying for this. If it was $20, I may give it a whirl out of curiosity, but that's about it.

As far as I understand, they won't be showing video of the poker sites. They convert hand histories to their own flash format.

You are correct. I should have checked out their site a bit more before posting.

Good demo videos.

I've looked the site over some more........

I'm impressed.

$20? That's pretty cheap, IMO.

Bax and sheets are two of the best online professionals playing today, and this is an opportunity to tap into years of their experience. You literally watch them win tournaments and cripple cash games as they describe what why and how. And that's only worth $20 to you? gg cheapskate.

Where else are you going to get hands-on advice and strategy from two high caliber players at this price? Even the "Camp Hullmuths" are expensive. What was Annie Duke charging Ben Affleck for his lessons? $1k / each? It was something ridiculous... but it's irrelevant because

Bax

shits

on

her.

As you remember, Cliff Josephy (Bax) won a bracelet at last year's WSOP. ... Or was it two?

And sheets? He sick himself - not to mention bascially starting "gank."

Yet I digress. I'll be joining - I'm hoping they don't reconsider and RAISE the price.

Valid points, for sure.

I guess maybe I'm just naive, but I honestly don't think I'd learn "that much." I'm very much looking forward to your review someday. Who knows? Maybe it will change my mind.

That's a better reason not to join. Unlike you, I do not have proven MTT results, so a site like this appeals highly to me. For what they (claim) are providing, I would consider a *much* higher fee.
