seems like an interesting group is forming up for November, I'm in too

I'm in 100% for Novemeber full access if there's a spot available.

You convinced me bish

In for November full access!

time flies

it really does.

was thinking today that it's been "half a year" since BF...pretty hard to believe.

:O really?

How much is read only costing now? And is paypal still the only available payment option?

@200 for read only.

Is there much >25bbs info in the forum?

there is definitely more <25 info overall, but there is still plenty of >25 stuff.

does anyone know how and where we can get access to this forum ?

ty

I posted on mers well to know about it but couldn't get an answer yet ...

thanks

You mean Fast Track ?

You have to pay for that:

But it's definitely worth it :-)

/Edit: Oh, the magic of thread merging ... just had this "oops, did I really post in here tonight ???" feeling for a second ...

i take new full access students at the beginning of each month. i post details towards the end of each month, and there is a brief application you have to fill out. if you are interested in full access, just check this thread in a week or so...November details will be posted then

if you want read-only access (no posting in forum), i will get you 30 days access from whenever you pay. PM me if interested in this option

Had my first super/hyperturbo coaching session with hokie yesterday, it was really great. It's very clear to me that he has mastered the format, and he explains concepts/theory well. I also had read-only access a few months back(while playing only hyperturbos) and got a lot out of it.

details for November will be posted tomorrow. taking up to 20 full access students in November, so if you have missed out on a full access spot previously - there should be spots open this month

Quick note before I forget:

In mid-December, versions of most of the articles in the forum will be released as a free ebook. We're talking a couple dozen pieces that I think are pretty top quality. We're talking stuff that's going to get people pissed at me again for putting material out there in the public sphere. That aside I think it will be very well received.

We're also discussing starting a new private coaching forum in 2012 and using the old one (now with 4300 posts) as a resource for HUSNG.com subscribers.

What all this means: Versions of the articles (which were always actually a bonus in this program) will be freely available soon, and the forum itself possibly available for HUSNG.com subscribers to read and learn from in early 2012. Keep this in mind when deciding whether to sign-up for read only in November or December. The read-only price should be reduced next month and Hokie and I will be sure to confirm that all read-only applicants are aware of what will be free soon before they pay anything. Given all the content there and the time value, I suspect that there will still be interest, but make sure you understand all this before signing up for read-only.

^ You're the stone cold nuts! Great news and really kind of you to make us aware of it now and not just a few days before the change!

FastTrack Forum details for November:

For those who aren't familiar with the fasttrack program:

Full access membership allows you to start a personal strategy thread in the fasttrack forum. You can post as many hands, ask as many questions as you want, use it as a blog to track progress, etc. I will respond to all questions in <24 hours Tuesday-Friday, and <48 hours Saturday-Monday.

Read-only membership is what it sounds like, read only. You can't post in the forums, but you have 30 days access to read up on the ridiculous amount of information in the forum. A bunch of articles from Mersenneary, all the archived threads from the past 6 months of he and I running the forum (me for the past 2-3 months). Unlike Full Access, you can purchase read-only access at any point during the month and I will give you 30 days from that point forward.

Rates were discounted in October because I was out of the country for the first 8 or 9 days of the month. Full Access rates for November go back to the rates offered in September.

Full Access:

Returning Members: $375
New Members: $450

Read-Only (Prices reduced 20% bc forum is going public in January):

Previous Read-Only Members (doesn't have to be last month): $110
New Read-Only Members: $160

Please make all payments via Paypal to hokiegreghu@hotmail.com. If it takes you a couple days to setup your Paypal account or process your first transaction it's not a problem.

***I'm in the US, so I don't have a lot of options. Paypal is by far the best option for me, and almost all of my previous students haven't had issues setting it up. Sucks to be in the US as a poker player these days

I will be taking up to 20 full access students for November. I am finally done traversing the globe and am settled in comfortable in my hometown of Richmond, VA. For the first time since BF, my life isn't hectic and unpredictable - so I'm ready to grind out some FastTrack coaching, haha. A bigger group makes for more frequent/active strategy discussion in the personal threads. It also should give you higher overall Full Access value with more total posts in the forum during November compared to previous months (pretty fair assumption).

Returning members will get first priority on November membership (you had to have October full access for this). Email me at gtillerhokie@gmail.com so I can save you a spot.

If you are new to FastTrack and want to apply for November full access, email me at gtillerhokie@gmail.com and please send me your answers to these questions:

What are you poker aliases on different sites?

What games are you playing currently? (buyin level, hyper/turbo/regspeed)

Brief background of your husng career:

Why do you want to join the FastTrack program?

Also, just want to quote Mers from a couple posts before this so noone misses it:

"In mid-December, versions of most of the articles in the forum will be released as a free ebook. We're talking a couple dozen pieces that I think are pretty top quality. We're talking stuff that's going to get people pissed at me again for putting material out there in the public sphere. That aside I think it will be very well received.

We're also discussing starting a new private coaching forum in 2012 and using the old one (now with 4300 posts) as a resource for HUSNG.com subscribers.

What all this means: Versions of the articles (which were always actually a bonus in this program) will be freely available soon, and the forum itself possibly available for HUSNG.com subscribers to read and learn from in early 2012. Keep this in mind when deciding whether to sign-up for read only in November or December. The read-only price should be reduced next month and Hokie and I will be sure to confirm that all read-only applicants are aware of what will be free soon before they pay anything. Given all the content there and the time value, I suspect that there will still be interest, but make sure you understand all this before signing up for read-only."

Few more things about this:

- If you signup for November/December Full Access, you can request to have your private thread deleted after your access expires. So if any of you are wary about the forum being available to a wider audience, this should ease your concern.

- Read-Only prices will be reduced another 20% in December.

I was going to purchase the read only this month. I think it's cool your making available to anyone but it means now that I'll probably wait.

When the forum goes on husng.com in Jan will that include the rest of the forum articles that are not going into the ebook?

If I purchase the read only now, will there be anything that wont be on there in January?

I was looking forward to getting it, but it's a decent chunk of my roll still atm and now with it being released I'm in two minds - anything you can say that might persuade me??

When the forum is released to husng.com members in January, it will include all previous threads/articles since the forum began earlier this year.

The only thing you may miss out on in January are threads that former/current FastTrack students choose to be deleted.

Eh, I'm not going to try to persuade you too much. Everyone's situation is different. 2 months is def a long time in poker though and I think it's very likely you could use the knowledge gained from the forum to make up for the $160 you spend on access.

Oh, the other thing is that the details about making the forum available through HUSNG.com are nowhere near finalized - it's possible subscribers may have to pay some amount if they want it as part of their subscription package, or it could just come with their existing subscriptions, we're not at all sure. Depends mostly on ChicagoRy's calculator about the value it's adding to him. The point of announcing that possibility now is that so everybody's aware of the possibility. But nobody should be upset if it turns out to not be free for HUSNG.com subscribers, either! We're just figuring out and thought it would be better to be as open as possible so people can make as good decisions as they can from there.

I don't think Hokie and I will be doing too much convincing - throughout this program I've tried to make sure the students that signed up felt really good about how the program fit with their poker career from the start and I think that's part of why it's had a lot of success. It's the right thing to do to not just take money from everybody who thinks they might want to pay it, but it's also probably good business. It's a unique form of poker coaching and it's not for every learning style or career situation.

Also, I have to say: Hokie really rose to the challenge. I've asked some students for some private feedback and I've gotten even better reviews than I expected. Especially now that he's settled down, the one-on-one aspect and personal HH threads should be really superb these next couple of months.

Why are you making it public and why are you publishing this ebook?

ChicagoRy paid me to write a bunch of articles for him. They are his property. He believes releasing a free HUSNG.com ebook that kicks a ton of ass will be a massive amount of good publicity for the site and evidence of the type of quality there is from a video subscription and the forum of strategy posts we've built up. I agree with him and think this is a great way to do it.

We also both believe strongly in giving back to the poker community and the great meritocracy that poker is. I got to where I am with the help of a ton of good free advice from previously established posters, and I think it's part of the great tradition of the poker learning community to pass that along to the next generation for them to learn from and then inevitably laugh at when it becomes outdated.

The forum is "mine" but has always been with the understanding to work something out with ChiRy eventually so that it can add to the value of the site and make it even more attractive to potential (and existing) users.

I don't exactly blame you for profiting from the information you know by spreading it to the poker community. You say "giving back to the community", I think its more along the lines of allowing every un-creative marginal reg become a decent winner and destroying the games. Just saying.
