FREE Coaching Session w/ Herschelw

Graham · Sep 08,2008, 06:42 PM

Jerry "herschelw" Watterson has been kind enough to offer one of his training sessions for FREE to 9 members of this forum.

I haven't thought of a good way to pick the top 9 just yet, but since this is for you all, you can pick which topic he will discuss. Also, if you have any ideas for how to pick the final 9 that would be great also. I was thinking it would be a combination of a small buy-in game on pokerstars where top 3 would win the session, and also something for the top 6 posts between now and when session happens. People could vote for each other so it wouldn't be biased.

Anyway, here are the options for the session topics. The one with the most votes will be the one he does. (If you don't win, or would like to attend some of these sessions regardless of what happens here, send Jerry a PM. He usually charges around $25 per person for these sessions)

Also, PokerPwnage added some new FREE videos. If you go to PokerPwnage.com and click on PREVIEW you will see around 30 minutes worth of free videos.

Love to see a session Riding the big stack as this is still a leak in my game. Tend to bluff off my chips late (just as westside8/DrTyOre/moose

)

I like the idea of small buyin tourneys to pick some winners.

I would like to see the 90 man one. This will show the complete beginning to end of how to play a typical tounament.... although condensed.

actyper · Sep 08,2008, 11:23 PM

Theres this contest on p5 where everybody signs up for the next 10 $3 90 man mtts starting after a certain time. Whoever wins the most $ in those 10 is the winner. Maybe do something like that?

ReefAquarium · Sep 08,2008, 11:42 PM

This is a great opportunity! Thanks!

Some good info on that site. Good idea bout the 90 man to determine the winner. Or just setup a private tourney.

Graham · Sep 09,2008, 01:21 AM

I can now set up private games on pokerstars so I'll probably do it there for half the people. The other half will go to forum related things so that some of the bad players can have a chance too

Wouldn't it be more beneficial if the bottom 9 in the tourney got the coaching? Or take the worst players from the site.... Just ask around. That guy who figured out something that Doyle, God et al didn't know about calculating pot odds etc gets my vote.

Good point.

Make the buy in 10-30 bucks and anyone who pays to enter the tourney should have an opportunity to view the video (put it on a separate server or give out a password for x number of days)

I think any player whether they finish in the top 9 or bottom 9 would benefit from a video. Take a % out from the tourney to cover the cost of the video or something.
