Just had a look at this and I must say im impressed. A bit expensive for the stakes I play at though.

So come on...someone must use it...feedback please.

Was looking a bit myself today, but the price put me off too

Is it similar to that thing Ironside does (or used to) poker school or something like that?

edit: this one http://www.pokerschoolonline.com/index.php

pokerschool is $150 a year and is a must for beginners i am still a member and although i dont play there much i still use it when i am needing to redifne my game

The site focuses on MTT and SNG play from JohnnyBax and Sheets with a few guest pros. 

They have developed their own hand replayer where the pros take you through their complete hand histories and comment on their tournament play.  Their replayer is very good and it allows them to halt the play for further discussion and to replay specific hands - this is unique to their site.  You can also upload your own hand histories to analyse your game on the replayer.

While they make these videos they are also playing in tournaments and sometimes they break away from the replayer and show/comment interesting hands that they are currently playing.  Sometimes they do not use their hand replayer and just tape the tourney that they play.

They regularly add new videos which retains their subscriber base.  If you were to sign up now it would take quite a long time to get through the video history.

These guys are long time online winners and do well in live tourneys with JohnnyBax winning a WSOP bracelet.  They are very articulate and clearly know what they are talking about.  I would be surprised if there are many subscribers that do not renew on a monthly basis since they produce a real quality product/service.

I thought it was expensive as well.  Green Plastic has one as well.

I have a lot of friends who moved from pokerschoolonline to pokerXfactor and they swear by it. The inital registration fee is high, but then $24 a month is not as bad.

I was a member here at the start of the year, and enjoyed the jonnybax mtt videos a great deal.

The pedigree of the teachers is top notch, Bax has crushed online comps for as long as i know, and sheets to a lesser extent (STT expert im told). Bax enhanced his credentials with 2nd in the aruba classic recently for a scor eof over $450k I believe, so the man knows what he is talking about

Greenplastic is on cardrunners, I have used this site and it is superb. I also watched some videos from PokerXFactor the other day and they were fantastic. They have a video of the Sunday Million were they win, and they talk through every hand, and you can also play every hand through the game, and it tells you what they done after you have played.

My friend is a member of Poker X Factor and I am considering joining myself because from what I seen of it the videos and the content was amazing.

Also the hand replayer where you send your hand history in and JohnnyBax and Rizen play the hand and tell you were (in there opinion) you went wrong and what you should of done... Fantastic....

I’ve been a member for a while and think it’s a very good service for anyone wanting to improve or even adapt their sng/mtt game, if you play cash games Cardrunners is the better choice.
   I play $10 or $20 sit and goes and the odd multi when I have time. Sheets’ sng videos are fantastic. The recorded live videos are insightful as you get to see the thought process behind moves.
   Their guest line-up is impressive too Eric ‘Rizen’ Lynch and Brsavage are two of the top players on the net and there are soon to be added guest videos from Belowabove who plays a very different game to Bax, Sheets, Rizen and Brsavage. The only drawback to the site is that a lot of the material deals with high stakes sng’s and mtt’s (there is the odd $10 re-buy) but I think that the concepts discussed are beneficial at all levels.
   The forum community at PXF is a good tool too as Bax and Sheets put a lot of effort in to respond. I played against Bax in Aruba and his domination around the bubble when he had a huge stack was something to behold.
   Whilst the initial sign up fee is high the monthly fee is the difference between 3rd and 1st in a $10 sng and well worth it IMO.
Pokermentors.com is also worth checking out if you prefer a one off payment – I took the cash game class with WillisNYC 6 months back, well worth it for any sng/mtt player wanting to learn cash game play.
