What you're doing seems like a pretty good idea, probably not that big of a BRM mistake. Beware of the online cash game suggestions, they are tough (even at the small stakes) and have a huge learning curve which I am going to hazard a guess at you being very far behind. Consider trying to obtain a Run It Once account or something

out of interest, what sort of deals the coaches get from the niners?

have any ever been disclosed?

I remember Timex said somewhere that he charged normal rates for Einhorn (3rd $1m one drop), Balsiger (3rd main event), Heinz (1st main event) which I believe was around $600-800/hr at the time

Pro tip: sell/swap action with an elite player (even at a discounted markup) to highly incentivise free HH reviews deep and FT coaching

whoever the best player was who was in the last 30-40 players I think. Will have reads on the guys that you can't get from the worthless live footage.

Aye Fedor pretty gd shout

Played a tourney at Star City in Brum which had both 25 and 50 chips. Spent 3 full levels miscalculating the antes

JMCD89, think he's had trouble with other backers too but that's an unsubstantiated claim

no, the prize pool is determined after registration is closed I think

on stars the position you finish is the number of entrants at time you bust

I have probably used over 30 betting accounts in other names than myself to place bets that my accounts would not be allowed, this is no different to what Brian Hastings did, and we all know I'm no fan of BH so I would have little to no desire to defend him.

I think this is completely different to what he did.

I work in the industry and have been on both sides of shadow accounts. Why is it different? It is still deception to get a bet that wouldn't necessarily be given if I knew who you were. Same as not sitting next to Hastings but happy to sit next to Hayes.

Yeah I mean I get the point and I don't have a reasonable or rational argument. Just fuck bookies is all

Do bookies formally ban many?  They normally give me refer to trader messages and cut down stakes, but never tell me I am actually banned.

After dealer said his reaction was def a bit off

Pretty surprising none of the players realised

It was more that the VPN service I used was unreliable than me setting it up poorly I think. Interestingly, while I was banned from Stars I had some of the best months I've had online grinding out the dailies on the other sites. Also, I wasn't banned from Stars.FR at the time, just .com lol
