Post by: Longy on July 27, 2007, 04:25:27 PM Had a look at it myself (google is a wonderful thing) looks a bit pricey to me and to be honest i think you really do have to be at a certain stage of your poker learning to justify shelling out nearly £500 for the privelege. If you are total novice the course probably is too quick paced and most of it will pass over your head, if you are an experienced winning player, most of it is going to be going over old ground.

As i said to the sik tilt guys who were there filiming it even if you only take a couple of things away from the course then that will cover the cost in the long run. Also the course reminded me of a lot of things that i'd learnt previously but either forgotten or put to the back of my mind. Neil Channing's cash lecture is superb and Tom Sambrook's discussion of Tournament Fallacies was thought provaking which, lets face it, is always better than just sitting there nodding. I'd say the course would suit players who consider themsleves advanced beginners and are looking to take there game to the next stage, the most complicated issues discussed on the course were things like ICM and confidence intervals (standard deviation et al). The best thing about the course though is that you're with 40 like minded individuals who want to learn, there are also numerous opportunities to speak to instructors one on one. I'm still in touch with some people from the course and I know some of them who went on it clubbed together and are getting lessons for Dr Tom. If you want any more info about specifics PM me.

I've spoken to a few people that have been on and they said that Channing really helped them a lot with their cash game strategy.
