I received an email yesterday (along with many others I would assume) about Sky Poker boot camp next month and Im debating whether to go or not.
The main reason for considering it is that its local and ive always fancied going to one of these to learn how to "Raise my game"
The downside is that its £250 tho there are sats available.
Has anyone ever been to one of these boot camps and did they feel that they learned enough to justify the cost?

any idea who the teachers are?
if its predominately the "experts" that present the show, you likely wouldn't be getting value for money.

Go for it and have local fun:) |

Erm I have never been on one of these so called boot camps, so this more like a speculative opinion than anything.
I personally wouldn't go on one, firstly how do you teach a number of people of presumably varying ability. Where do you start? You are in danger of confusing half the class totally or wasting the time of the other half.
Also they just strike me as a bit of PR exercise and have tournaments which seem a bit half hearted.
The two "experts", im sure are reasonable poker players, Nick Welthall while mostly joking about, seems pretty solid. I must admit I have more reservations about Matt Broughton's ability based on the stuff I have seen on sky, though it seems that people on sky poker seemed to have been told (Tikay is guilty of this also) that no matter how badly someone muffs a hand to tell them its been played well(ish).
If it is anything like the "online hand of the week" that was in the mostly excellent poker week, I would pay not to go on the basis I might end up actually listening to it.
All specualtion but if you want my opinion, save your money Suzanne.

Longy has nailed my assumptions. If it were Full Tilt boot camp or the like it would probably be worth going, but I really doubt Sky Poker will make it worth your £250. |
