crushing 100nl

i've been flooded by pms about my group, i'll reply to them as quickly as i can. maybe i will make my own thread.

Hello,

I currently co-run a Skype study group for SH players looking to improve their game and increase their winrate. The group has been running for a while and as of 11/10/10 we have 72 members. The skill level varies and people are playing different limits. We have some struggling 5NL players but we also have winning 1000NL players.

If you join our group there are a few requirements:

• Fill out our Google documents with basic information about you
• Have a microphone
• Take part in hand discussions
• Take part in poker discussions
• Take part in sweat sessions
• Take part in recorded or review sessions
• To not whine about bad beats / suckouts / downswings
• To not make off topic conversations in our group
• To respect other members and understand that some are not as experienced than you

In this group we prune members who are not active and we also remove any members who are abusive and do not try to help other members.

If you would like to be a part on this group please post in this thread using this form:

Why did a moderator merge the thread when they are completely separate groups?

Because when we allow two on the front page we allow 17 on the front page. This is gonna be a study group containment thread.

It can be a good idea to have a study group thread that'll always be on top, new ones created etc.

I already have more than 6 people interested, so will withhold applications for now to try and get it going.

Lol, it got stickied. Pretty awesome contribution to the forum OP. I'm hoping to join a study group once I've figured out how much spare time I will have after everything is settled for the start of uni. Then I know how much I can commit to it. Loving the idea though.

anyone who added me on skype please PM TCS

Could we have a more organized thread then? The original post in the thread has a link to each post of a group. So for example

6 Max Study Group

That will direct to my post in the thread. It should also probably be locked to avoid confusion if people are discussing different groups
