Is it true that the heads up players in your program have lots of accounts on each network?

We primarily coach players, but of course we also recommend sites.
For HU players, they need more sites than 6max players to play on, so HU players will typically have more accounts overall than 6max players.
Everything and the reasons are explained in more detail in our FAQ, which i suggest you to check out. If anything stays unclear, we're here to help!

I don't think you understood my question, I was asking if your heads up players play on more than one account on the same networks, i.e multiaccounting?

Of course not.

Here is an article since your question deserves a detailed answer to clarify things

Let me get this right you typically take 50% of profits and the player uses his own role? Why would I want to sign up when I can get 50% of the profits using a stake and 0% risk of my own money and if I look hard a stake that will coach me aswell...

Short no-bs advice:
Look at what YOU want and who can get you there and who has proven to get other people there.

This stuff is not that complicated!

Detailed Response:

Most people don't understand staking. If you are not a winning player with a lot of references, nobody will want to stake you. Try it out if you don't believe me.

BPC however accepts ALL players. We make losing players win and winning players crush.

If you are a winning player, there is not a whole lot of value in being staked if you understand EV.That is generally speaking.
There are few examples where it's +EV for both parties of course (MTTs for example).

Check out the record BPC finisher. http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...postcount=1727

He came to me with a very healthy bankroll. He was a big winning player at NL100 and would beat most coaches here with his eyes closed.
Sure i would have staked him instantly, but it would be pointless as there is no way he will lose anyways.
However, what he got from us was SKILL and MORE SKILL.


You could view our CFP program as a hybrid between staking and coaching per hour.

We do this since we believe that most players don't understand that they really don't need a (bigger) bankroll in order to win more. You don't!!! What you first need is more SKILL.
Skill produces money. Money does not produce money (only for investors!)
More money does not make you a better poker player.

What people learn at BPC is a lot of different SKILLS.

I signed up for the SnG coaching. Waiting for my contract. Hope the coaching worth it, I'm basically paying 30k€ for that

Only if you make 60k Euro!
Otherwise WE are paying a lot for the honor of having coached you

Seriously tho, you will make the 60k. You get coached by the current worlds #1, who is a great person. The odds are on your side, and some people reading this in a year will hit themselves for not taking up this chance themselves.

Hey i accidently send you the wrong bank statement. Well its not wrong but there is missing a part since my statement was 2 pages big and i could only upload one and i came up sadly only after uploading with the idea of putting the 2 pages together with paint.

Don't worry, i checked the info, we got all that we need.

Hi, I'm interested in coaching for 6 max, do you have any American players that are doing contracts also? I'm a winning Full Ring Player (roughly 5-6 bb/100) at 50 NL w/ experience at midstakes and have a $3,600 bankroll or roughly 3200 Euros. If we can somehow come to an agreement, that'd be great because of exchange rates and everything.

Your win-rate for fullring is awesome. I hope it's a 100k+ sample , but it's great either way.

We have American players on our team and accept more as well.
The last thing you will worry about are exchange rates. You should make so much money that these are rounding errors. Nobody likes to pay any fees and usually there is a way around.
But if you did have to pay that 2%, would you really change things because of that?!?!?!?

Either way, go ahead and apply if you're ready to bring your game on a new level. Fwiw, we do 6max, we don't do fullring atm.

I was wondering if you're accepting players from Spain for PLO 6-max/HU as sites to play are limited and volume might be an issue.

That's likely an issue. Sufficient volume is in both our interest, so i'd say you should apply for games where there is enough traffic.
If you get enough action for PLO 6max, you should definitely do it.

Hi!! Sorry if someone asked this question. Can i take a part of CFP programm if my english language isnt good enought? I can read and listen/view video, understand 70% of material, but i have little problems with speaking.

No problem at all. Listening is your most important quality.

Depending on where you come from our coaches might even help you here and there in your native language.

Over the years all non-English speakers have told me how easy it was to listen to my materials. Check this thread or old pokerstrategy videos for proof on what i just said.

Or test: Listen to the videos on the BPC youtube channel. If you can understand them, you will have no problem in the program.

Hey, im thinking about joining cfp but i really can´t choose which program would fit me best. At the moment i´m a nl25 "grinder". Should i stick to nl or should i switch to plo before i put serious work into my nl game? I guess plo has a better future but i think that i could beat higher nl games faster because i´m not a total n00b. I also never really tried playing sngs before but the coaching program seems also to be very intresting for me because the head coach is from the same county and we could speak my native language.

Lots of questions and the only person who can really decide is me, but some "pointers" would be nice. Also do i need to supply a graph of 100k+ hands to join?

I live on the East Coast in the US, since Europe times are 6 hours ahead, and I work a full time job 9 to 5, could coaching be feasible during weekdays? Do you guys do lessons for US players on the weekends? Just want to make sure logistics are ok before I join. Thanks a lot for your responses!

Hi gordon,

First of all, I find your programm very interesting. I read the last 20 pages of this thread and its inredible how fast it grew, gratz to that.

To my Situation:
I work 40 hours a week, play in an Amateur soccer club with 2 trainings and one game per weak and do Freeletics to keep myself fit. Actually i use the rest of my freetime to play poker, because its very flexible which is very important to me.

So I have a few questions to cfp:

1) do you think this program makes sense for me. Or would it only make sense if i quit my job, which is actually not possible in the next few months due to contract reasons.

2) how flexible are the coachings, especially group coachings? How are the date arrangements made especially for group coachings ? So in short, what can i do if i have no time because of my job or soccer?

3) i somehow read something of a software, where i have to write in my bankroll. Are there any screenshots. Does this software anything else?

4) i also play on an austrian site called win2day, with a bossmedia based software. Is this a problem or do i have to play on special sites like eg stars?

Thx for reply

The first thing i ask is are you willing to do whatever it takes to reach your goal? If the answer is yes, then no matter which program you end up choosing you WILL make it. That's how it is.

Which program to choose? Like you say, the best person to make a decision for yourself is YOU.

Based on what you say, the "obvious" solution is NL, just because you know it. HOWEVER, there is a big advantage in choosing SNGs.

If you can follow tight instructions and want a closer relationship with the coach, you should definitely do the SNGs. The program is more new and you can take advantage of the fact (coach will spend a lot more time with u than in any other program). It is faster to learn SNGs from the start and you being a cash game player will give you a big edge in postflop spots.

I have a high opinion of myself as you will know , but i would not want to pass up on the chance to be coached by the worlds number 1 unless i really hated SNGs.

Either way, follow your heart and don't think too long. Fast decision making is what you will learn in any program, that is also in live the key to winning.

If you read the last 20 pages (CONGRATS!!!) of this thread, you will know about "Sophies Choice".

Make up your mind, deep down you know already what you want!

Yes, coaching is feasible during work days, because we reach a certain size where we have schedules for all time zones. The bigger we get, the easier!

If not on workdays, certainly weekends.
I can't promise you will get it friday 8pm, but so far scheduling has not been an issue with anyobdy.

This should be the least of your worries.

Hi, it's interesting. About 3 months ago in Vienna i was jogging and doing sports did exercises in a little park near Mariahilfer and talked to a goal keeper and then i learnt that what we were doing is called freeletics!

Obviously totally random, but if that was you this would be the weirdest coincidence ever ))

Also, we have a football semi-pro from Germany (4th leagues now iirc) and a former semi-pro and national team guy from Canada on our team.

1) It totally makes sense for you to join the program.

We ask nobody to quit their job. This is something you will do once you either win a lot or it makes sense to you.
We have quite a few hobby players now in the program who don't even want to become pro, but enjoy the learning and getting better.
Yes, they wont be the next "hansthegreat" , but they enjoy learning and they will also make money.
You have all the flexibility you need. It's in your hands and you will not be pressured to go either way.

2) Coachings are very flexible. Like i answered the other guy, we NEVER in the history of CFP had an issue with scheduling where it became a real problem.

3) It is our productivity and goal tracking system. You type in 8 numbers each day and that's it. We communicate through some of it, track progress and then better know what to do next. It's like your little "Tagebuch".
It is actually not a "software" , aka it can't see your screen or any of that stuff. It's an advanced version of excel, fit 100% to our needs, but it can't do anything on its own.

4) This is your advantage that you can play there . Sites are not a problem, you play where you get action.

Thx for fast supply, now everything is clear to me

I am not the guy from vienna
I find Freeletics incredible, the coach forces you to do things, that you wouldt believe you can do. quite a good mental training, also for poker. Especially the hellweeks are also a good mindsettraining ;-)

One question forgotten, the "how to crush the fish" series looks very interesting. Is this part of the coaching and do i get access to it if i sign the contract? Or do i simply just buy it as anyone else?

you will get access to it once the time is ready, but of course you dont have to buy it when inside the program.
