    One sign up right here, been looking for training site and having one thats connected to boards has made my decision.

    best of luck , very unique ( good ) name :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,477 ✭✭✭newbie2


    just watched Andy Wards sample MTT video. Pretty good - If a little basic (i hear the cheap seats saying that's just what I need). Is this a good example of what videos to expect from the silver entry level? I'll probably pay for a month or two at rhe gold level though.

  • Registered Users Posts: 683 ✭✭✭The Snapper


    /was really looking forward to this site launch. But, samples still won't play for me:mad:

    Tried firefox and explorer, I even tried Safari ffs:o

    Any ideas ?


  • Registered Users Posts: 948 ✭✭✭THEIRISHMOB

    gl guys. i'm gonna sign up purely to see HJ's & RT's videos which i'm hoping will be utterly useless but i'll probably see masterpieces and be forced to kick the cat :rolleyes: :) ah no in all seriousness wish everyone involved success in the venture.

    Watched almost all the plo sample, excellent. H/U video excellent. Switched off the mtt sample after about 2 mins after he limped QT, AJ and KJ in multiway pots. Seen enough. The C-Bet video - i think it would be so much better if he actually said "c-bet" as opposed to the full word "continuation" every time :rolleyes: Minor gripe. Then again i wish Roy Keane would try not to use "to be fair" 63754 times a day.

    Not working for me either, all i get is a grey screen in both IE and Firefox. Running Vista x64, I take it this may be the issue :/ ?


  • Registered Users Posts: 39,302 ✭✭✭✭Mellor


    Best of luck,
    will likely get involved

    Same for me at first. But then after about 2 - 3 minutes all of sudden the sample started up.:confused:

    Sound and Video quality is excellent.
    PLO sample vid is decent/good, but I prefer a bit more structured in the vids personally. I think the PLO series's on Deucescracked are an excellent example of this.
    I also think there's some very suspect play/advice in parts. (He raises 36510s in the CO in multiway, yet limps 9875s in the CO with the exact same action. Limps Q554ss on the BTN in a limped pot, doesnt raise AKQJs in position HU. Seems to be a lack of consistancy imo)
    Some excellent other explanations of thought process though to be fair.

    Doubt I'll signup as a few things dont suit me, these are;
    Membership structure; DRM; (Obviously I understand your business decision for these)
    One DC feature I really like is the ability to download in iPod format, as usually watch a lot of the content when on the move.

    Good luck with everything.

    Just went to sign up there but only PayPal accepted! :(

    I don't have a PayPal account or anything will you be accepting credit card or lazer card or anything??

    Adam


  • Registered Users Posts: 347 ✭✭Brayruit


    Shouldn't it be spelled "pokerswot" rather than "pokerswat"?

    A swot is a studious person, somebody who studies diligently.... swat is like what you do to a fly. S.W.A.T. are also an elite part of the Amerian police? Maybe swat is intentional but it came across to me as a misspelling.

    Either way - good luck with the business

    Hey, site is up :). You can pay by visa, mastercard and american express with paypal and takes less than a minute to pay using that method, even if you dont have a paypal account setup.
    Additional payment methods will be added on Monday and early next week. We are also looking into site transfers as a method of payment and will confirm our plans for that next week.
