Sure, it's possible. To me, 1000 hours of my time is worth more than $500, but to you perhaps it's not. It's the same reason why a plane ticket costs more than a bus pass, no?
I'm a big believer in free markets. If my stuff is priced too high then nobody will buy it.. But this course (and the others like it on QP) have sold very well, so the market believes they are high value and priced appropriately.
Win1k is absolutely competitively priced. You have lifetime access to my course. You have lifetime access to a forum that includes high stakes crushers, WSOP champions, and SCOOP champions. A yearly subscription to Run It Once is $1200 - and to DeucesCracked is $360. Could you sign up for one month and download all their vids? Um yea.. You could, but wouldn't that make you sort of a hit and running scammer
Udemy - there is one course for Omaha on Udemy for $50 - I've seen the outline for it. Comparing Win1k to a course on Udemy is laughable.
Honestly to me, it sounds like you've been treading water for a long time playing the micros, and you're looking for a cheap, "magic-bullet" type of method for increasing your winrate and moving up in stakes. My courses and teaching philosophy are, frankly, not for these types of players, so I believe it's good that you didn't make the decision to buy. Perhaps you should stick to the methods you listed above for continuing to improve your game (i.e., never investing more than a few bucks in your game and sticking to the free/cheap stuff), especially if it's working for you.
Today though, just in case you want to take PLO seriously and invest more into your game, I'm going to propose a challenge. I'll give you free access to Win1k (it's clear you haven't been through the course, otherwise you wouldn't be making the comments), as long as you document your feedback and results for it in this thread. You must actually post your notes from the lessons and your progress while grinding here though, to prove you've done it.
Are you up for it? DM me your info and I'll get you set up.
John
The course is not 1000 hours of videos,cmon now, that's a huge exaggeration. Sure I pointed out if one goes at it alone then it will take more time. Your course is called Win1k, so I assume it is tailor made to make the buyer 1K a month,right? So you have basic fundamentals covered and probably nothing else, right. Basic fundamentals and make 2bb/100 at plo 20 + RB and that's 1000 euro.
Basic fundamentals = Free donkr article, Jeffs book and a month subscription at DC. $50 at the most and a month of your time. Even the Win1k is going to cost you some time.
I just want to address the "hit and run scammer" you have presented. Do you know what scam means? It's misleading or offering something other than the actual product one thinks he is getting, such as your webinar does.
Downloading all the content from deuces cracked for a months subscription is not scammy at all, why should I stay signed up to a site that hardly produces plo content anymore.(I will admit that it might be cheap, but hey I'm a broke plo'er, trust me when I say this but if I ever strike it big, I'll be sure to give something back too. Hell, I'll even get in touch with Jay, Emil, Nowhere man, DJ Sensei and all the other plo coaches there.).
If you go the an all you can eat buffet, are you suddenly scamming them if you eat more than the value of admission? DC allows you to DL their content, unless I am going against company policy which I am not aware of.
Also are you saying that the content that is in Win1k is actually all the content as in books and videos out there? Because that's what it seemed like you are saying.
LOL John. So you are going to give me the Win1k for free and in return, you want what exactly? It's not free if I still have to do work, right! What you are asking seems like a lot of work, documenting progress etc seems like a blog etc. That's too much.
I am willing to take your challenge and I do want to take my PLO game to the next level. I primarily play plo10 and plo20. Gone broke several times moving up in stakes, never been able to maintain at plo50 or higher. So yes, you are correct to assume that I play those micro stakes. I am not perse looking for the cheapest method or some magic bullet but most certainly also not looking for the most expensive.
I am curious how some of these online wizards are able to have such high win rates, while I struggle to break even. I mean do you agree that if they can make 10bb/100 at any level (such as donkpredator) that I too am capable of making the same win rates? Are you confident to say that any average joe is capable of producing the same results if only they go through your courses? In a way when you compare these wizards with me, then yeah, I probably am interested in their magic formula. Do you teach their magic formula? Is that why I have not been able to break through yet?
I propose this:
-An honest review. About content, structure, ease of understanding/did you explain it thoroughly, is there enough content, is it too long, too short etc.
-I'll give notes on each lesson. To prove that I have gone through the course.
-Once I have completed the course I am willing to give honest feedback as to whether it has helped me improve my game. I am willing to post my results post Win1k on here to see if it has had any impact on my game. Agreed?
