How does this affect trulyfreepokertraining?

if you cant cheat em join em

Hopefully not at all.

Great!
More ruble, less trouble!

I am just curious ( as most are I am sure ) about the existing video library at Stox and if ALL of the videos will be available or if there will be a weeding out process and some of them will be taken off line when the merge is complete.

I am sad to see this happen because between the two sites, there seemed to be something released almost daily that got my interest. With 4 videos + a day made available it was highly likely that I would be able to see a new video and at the very least, go back and look at some older material.

Now with the merger, perhaps we will just be seeing +2 videos a day released and maybe some instructors will stop being able to contribute and offering their insight to the game and that would be a shame.

Of course, its all just wait and see for now, but those are my concerns.

I got spoiled having both of the sites to learn from, and I know CR will continue to be strong, but I really wish there could have been another way and the merge could have been avoided.

At any rate, lets see what May 1st brings and take it from there.

I would assume all your points would go to CR subscriptions now.

Unless they decide to release 4 vids a day, the quality has just gotten much better!

wtf does "in lieu of the recent events" mean.

It means someone was trying to sound sophisticated, but failed rather hilariously.

Stox is (possibly colluding) MAing shortstack -scandal. Or did you mean what that sentence means in literal sense? Means someone doesn't know what "in lieu of" means.


Since pretty much all "higher profile" coaches already left stoxpoker and then Jason Ho & Stoxtrader multiaccounting scandals, I'm not really surprised that stox was about to go down one way or another.

Didn't they merge a while back? I thought CR was already associated with another training site. What am I thinking of?

So the cheats decide to join altogether? At least now the bashing will unify then I guess...

It isn't really a merger. Whatever coaches CR wants go to CR. Stox brand dies.

ya otherwise fees up $15 a month prob so you can have 3 videos a day you won't watch instead of 2 or w/e it is

Oh and as far as the videos go see this:

Taken a leaf out of the UB/Absolute school of scandal management.

Brian Townsend MAing
Jason Ho problems
Stoxtrader collusion.

Once, you'd think they'd put their house in order. Twice is just bad business.
Three times and people really will go elsewhere.
I will not be subscribing.

I'm sure you were on the fence before.

Serious players can't afford not to be members somewhere at least, and many of them everywhere.

It pays to know what your opponents are thinking.

Will Jason Ho's videos be on CardRunners?

I'll stick with Leggo. Or Leggocrackeddeuces as it may soon be.

In lieu of the AP/UB scandal they changed the name of the network to Cereus and later UltimateBet changed it's name to UB.com and got a new logo, they did not merge the weaker brand into the stronger.

This is fairly savvy crisis management though imo. CR is run by some smart doodz.

he will be the head coach

i'm shocked this wasn't the first post. i seriously couldn't even read the rest of the statement because i couldn't get myself past the first sentence. i reread it like 6 times trying to make sense of it and then scrolled down to the comments.

The newspaper decided to focus more on features in lieu of recent events.
