Any advice would be apreciated.
I'm biased, but I think CardRunners has the spectrum of limits, depth, and quality to help a player of any level in NL FR. Here are my recommendations:

Re: **ALL Training Site Discussion Goes Here**

freak daddy, i don't know who you are and i don't know anything about poker zion except that this annoying kid used to work there (i just remembered his online name was loosefer) and frequently pretended to be friends with me and brag about how he played high stakes. he used to bum hunt 25-50 ABSURDLY hard and one day spent 20 minutes talking to me about how much i'd have to pay him to play 25-50 hu, i finally agreed to $2 a hand, and he said he was very interested but would have to get back to me. of course we never played.

i remember this kid because he spent HIS ENTIRE WAKING LIFE trying to pimp poker zion, including, but not limited to, talking about it on poker stars. i used to be embarrassed for the kid because he tried so hard to fit in and consider himself a high stakes player, despite the fact that he was the most boring, nonthinking poker layer of all time (the running joke was among high stakes players was "how do you know it's a good game? if loosefer or leatherass is sitting in the game!") and probably wouldn't beat 2-4 without extreme game selection.

now, i dont' know what happened to this kid or if he's still affiliated with your site, but he was at one time a very big shill, if he did have a 2p2 account (i assume he did) im sure he found ways to spam it. i used to cringe with embarrassment everytime i'd see a random account pimp poker zion because i knew there couldn't actually be players going there and learning something and wanting to spam it on 2p2 (although im sure they were "encouraged").

im sorry i took the time out to even say this, but i forgot that poker zion existed and i don't consider them a competitor but i do remember VAST amounts of spamming going on related to them in the past, and it seemed relevant, so i thought i'd share.

I'll pretend like I didn't see this. Your post and how you carry yourself speak for itself.

That kid (and yes he's a kid and so are you), Russell Blattberg (the guy who sucks who was one of the top tournament winners for years, has a bracelet, and as horrible as he may be is a long term winning high stakes player) is one of the nicest, coolest, friendliest people in the game of poker. He actually cares about others, and takes time out of his day to enrich the lives of others around him. You could learn a lot from him.

I never asked one person to spam anything about pokerzion. Never did and never will. The site does plenty well on it's own because we have a team of people who spend time with students, and focus on quality content.

I hope you find peace inside yourself one day, because it's beyond obvious you have some things to work out.

Re: **ALL Training Site Discussion Goes Here**

i am simply addressing the issue of spam and made my post because it seemed relevant to the issue at hand (you disagreeing with chicago about spam issues). one thing i can't stand is hypocrisy. if you have (or had) a major spam problem in the past with people affiliated with poker zion, just say it. i was a shill for leggo when it first got started because of how much i believed in the product-- i now realize that if the product is worthy, people will come. i resist the urge to plug it at every waking moment because i am not paying for the ad space.

you did a very poor job of pretending like you didn't see that post, imo.

also, i really wish you'd pretend you didn't know me.

We haven't, and since you care so much, if you had read the thread you'd see that we did acknowledge an issue that occurred with spam a year ago. We fired that person some time back. Not just because of spam, but because of other poor judgments they made.

And if you read anymore, you'd realize that my post was about the fact that I NEVER post comments about pokerzion on here, even though there are legitimate opportunities to do so in threads like these (and I have seen you and other people from other sites do so). I feel the exact same way as you do about shilling products, plus the fact I don't have time. If it's good, people are going to talk about it, or recommend it.

I acknowledge and know that Russ pimps pokerzion a lot (or has in the past). It's just his personality. Trust me when I say we've had plenty of talks about mellowing out. But his a real good kid, and has a big heart. It's hard to discourage him.

Your wit is great btw... I'll give you that.

Re: **ALL Training Site Discussion Goes Here**

Hello,

Would like some recommendations.

Where is the best material for SNG 5max Turbo (3mins level). I am not sure if anyone has those kind of videos.
If there is no such videos, then which is most close... I guess 6max Turbo. Which site is the best at the moment? Sitngogrinders (I guess the main guy who plays them is Sparta) ?

Anyway, any opinion is appreciated.

Re: **ALL Training Site Discussion Goes Here**

I'd be surprised if Matt's recommendation of HUSNG is what you're loooking for. But its a very good site for HU sngs. Sitngogrinders has a lot of videos on 6 max turbo (which obv isnt vastly different to 5 max), but we dont have a 5 max specialist.

Sparta45 is currently making 6 max videos but we also have videos on 6 max from sizzlinbetta, dombomain33, azntracker and a few others. If you're exclusively interested in 5 max then sitngorgidners isnt the site for you at the moment (although this isnt the first request for them we've had so we will be adding them in the nr future).

Re: **ALL Training Site Discussion Goes Here**

Matt, I was thinking of improving my HU skills, because I think it's if not the most important part of 5max, it's very close to it.

thepiper, thanks for your response, I agree that those coaches are very good at what they do. However, 6max turbo (with 5 mins levels) is slightly different from 5max turbo (3 mins level) and in my opinion it changes the game specifics. Also, I appreciate that you (I presume that you are from sitngogrinders) take into consideration the requests of ordinary people like myself and I will be gladly waiting for a new series of 5max turbo in your site.

Cheers.

You're right on both counts, I am associated with sitngogrinders and we take on board all the suggestion we can to improve the site. (we also cover HU if you're inetersted but keep an eye out for a 5 max instructor - coming soon).

Pokersavvy Plus dead? Need good training site

Hello,

I've been a member of Pokersavvy Plus before, but now I can't seem to find where should I pay for premium membership there. Their support doesn't answer, googling didn't help either. So I was wondering if P. Plus is down for good.

And can anyone recommend me a good balanced training site? I am looking to buy 1-year membership, I need to improve my PLO 6-max cash game, MTT's (all kinds of games) and maybe polish my SnG skills. Free copy of some kind of hold'em manager would be a plus.

P.S. I know there were threads on 2+2 about this before, but they've been dead for some time now.

P.P.S. Also sorry if I posted in a wrong section. My first post here, was just reading 2+2 before.
