blonde poker forum

finally after supposedly taking a year off poker last year that didnt go as plan i have rejoined PSO any other blondites member there that can  give me the HU on any recent changes

Ok give us a clue...WTF is PSO

phew, was afraid to ask !

poker school online

anyone that was a member would of known

sorry didnt want to spam

Ok since you have started this thread...is this place worth the money?  And what can you find there that you can't run by a few people here and get an answer?...Not being a smart arse..Just interested in finding out if there is any value in it...

well you can sign up for it and if you dont like it you can get your money back in first 14 days

personally i like it i was a member from day 1 only left last year to take a break from poker but that didnt work out

the abilty to play poker without risking money without the feel of a freeroll makes it worth while

to be able to sit with rolf slothbottom in a PLO game with him talking thru the game is worth more than the annaul fee  IMHO

they do that sort of thing for everyone and its included in the price?

Some guy pointed me towards poker mafia and to have lessons was $300 - $500 per hour!

when i left a year ago once a month the main teachers would sit on a cash table and use talk through hands only 9 others could sit at a time but as many who wanted to talk and ask questions could rolf is top drawer and as my first live omaha comp proved he can teach a fish to jump thru hoops

ok I'm sold...another $150 spent on poker  ;topofclass;

i have to wait till monday before they sort my account out but i'll see you there
i beleive robertHM is a member and Harry D used to be a member so looks like its just us fish

ooohhh i could say so much about that

CLYDE

think that says enough  :D 


but looked it over and i think it is worth it
ironside told me about it a while ago on here but not got round to it yet
but def going to try it out

ok who joined and what are your usernames there

i am happy i kept my bankroll from last time so i got 40k

Sorry I am still unsure what this is. Is it like a regular online site where you are able to drop in and play whenever you feel like it or is it purely a teaching site?... What are the differences between this and reading alot of poker books and practicing for hours online?. I am interested but not sure what it actually is. I went on the website, but it didn't really explain things clearly. Thanks.

Ok, just watched the video on poker school online site. What does it mean " he is about to start with his mentor soon" when filming some of the players in the tournament. Is this a 1 on 1 tuition or is it a large group teaching environment?...

well you got all the stuff you get in books and the abilty to play freerolls like they were real money the chance to win sponorship the abilty to improve your game with 1000's of hours practise and disscussion for £87 a year

there is the abilty to purchase extra tution for a fee i never have i feel the general learning is best by going thru the forum with fine tooth comb and the 1000's of hours putting it into practise and even experimenting

ok cheers, I will think about it and probably go back on the site in a few days time.

You can also play in their monthly freeroll league and get free tuition. First prize is three months, I think. You need to play a minimum of 20 games in the month to qualify

It must be good, look how good ironside is!! :D  ;goodvevil;

Heh heh. What's he doing offline anyway?

I just joined. I only took the 3 months option, I spoke with a friend today and he recomended it as did Ironside in the earlier posts, so I am going to give it a try. My username is DangerVegan999. Don't ask...

I played there for a year, then for the last year haven't played much at all so cancelled my membership last month.

Great site if you use it, but I was spending too much time on real money sites to get value from PSO.

I do remember playing Ironside on there a while back, if I remember correctly he used to be reasonably high in the leagues.

i do badly in the leagues due to the fact the leagues reward grinding wheras i prefer to play for the win, i used to always be in the top 10 for bankroll though in my years absence i have slipped down to around 150th so i have some catching up to do

What is your username Ironside?

Is it Ironside?. Or is that too obvious

yep i am ironside on pso

Come on then Ironside... just put your affiliate banner up!!!

I am really offended by all this PSO spam... lol

I use to play on PSO back in early 03

I use to play hu against a player there. His name was Pokermats. Here is his profile (http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/player.php?a=r&n=26087)

So within 1 year he had gone from PSO play money to the final table of the WSOP main event. Not bad eh!

i really should look into getting a affliate schemme for blonde but i havent spoken to tikay or the napiltinos, Ian basically i think for alot of the smaller players here at blonde they could do alot worse than join PSO

btw if you notice my first post in this thread i only mentioned it by the name people who alrady knew about it would call it so as to not spam the place

I'm joking ironside... these scottish eh!

I think PSO could be good aslong as you take it seriously, which i'm sure you did and that is why you benefitted from it!

I haven't played anything on the PSO yet, but from what I have seen it looks really good. There is aload of tips and tuition articles which will probably take me about 3 months to pick through.

That would have been in then, bankroll.

I tended to play MTT's and STT's, but not enough to get high in the leagues. The Mike Caro recordings are pretty cool.

Ok, last post about poker school online, I promise.  I just listened to Mike Caro on the site. That is a very odd man, I have never listened to him before. When he explains something, it is like he is telling a story to a group of kids..." gather round kids...I have a tale to tell...this isn't an ordinary tall, but a tale of adventure". Has anyone else listened to him on the site?. Don't get me wrong, I will listen and re-listen to him because there aren't many people with his knowledge, it is just his technique is very strange.

The whole "Coming to you from Planet Poker" thing was a bit wierd...

Yea, other than that, I think he has a poker mind anyone would want to have. But definately not the strange part of his brain. I now know why they call him the "Mad Genius".

Perhaps he speaks like that because that's the best way to get an American to listen?

Very bedtime-storyesque.

caro is no longer a teacher on the site but his lessons are still there

the first time i heard the audio i thought the guy was 8 slices short of a full loaf

but he knows his stuff even if he presents it oddly

Yea perhaps, I am actually getting used to it now. My attention span is bad while listening to things, I am better at reading. So the way he does it actually holds my attention. I still think he would be better off doing "Jackanory" story time.

sark i recomend rolf's pokernight live think there is one on holdem next week and next month its omaha and one of major reasons i rejoined

OK, thanks Ironside. I will look into it..

I think I will give this a go as well, it was recommended to me a while back but I couldn't download the software as I remember right but I will try again. I never seem to find time to pick up one of the many books I have bought so this sounds ideal. What is rolf? or is it a bloke named rolf?

rolf slothbottom a dutch poker pro

one of the best cash omaha players in the world

or so he says

OK I've joined too.  I've lost a lot of STT's recently and I'm bloody fed up with it.  Perhaps it's just evening out my wins from before but having not won for a bit, I decided that I could do with some help without paying a fee for it every time.

I'm in for 3 months and I'll see how it goes.  My name is Graham73 on there.  Going to play for free and get a sponsorship.

Thats what I joined for Silo , 3 months. Hope to see you on there. I am DangerVegan999.

not quite sure what to do to start with really.  Are you supposed to read the articles and play in the tourneys or is there more to it? 

Too much going on on screen for my poor eyes!

I can't help there Silo, I have to try and work out all the features as well. Ironside is the guy to ask. I would suggest reading the leasons section, especially the Mike Caro bits. I guarantee that you will be thinking to yourself " God, this guy is insane".

read the articles then practise what you learn on the tables

or just play the tournys

or just read the articles

give me a PM on the PSO forum and i will point you at a good place to learn ABC poker from there you have to adpat to your own style

Cheers Ironside :)

Sark, that Mike Caro is one wierdo.  I listened to a suited connectors thing and the guy was fantastic!

Yea he is really strange, but like Ironside said to me....he knows his stuff. Hey Ironside I was playing a guy the other night on PSO and he said he knew you well. I can't remember his name offhand, but if I saw it I would know it.

well all the old guard know me when i left i had posted more times on the forum than any other player

bit like blonde execpt for the old man (boy can tikay waffle)

lol

i am going to play the annaul members big one v quailfier in 15 minutes well i might go for a shower first as it will take about 6 hours if i hope to win it

i decided to go for the double up early and then have a couple of hours sleep route instead

and missed my draw oh well saved me sitting round for 6 hours lol

you big  ;fish; ;fish; ;fish; ;fish; ;fish; shocking!!!

i know but i am a fish that can get an early night for once
