My main problem is I am afraid that this system will maybe collapse. I mean it seems you take every guy, which is willing to sacrifice himself and play and learn as much as possible. But with time the ratio between good players and bad players must increase, if you take that much guys.
You are describing the wet dream of the BPC mafia. We will be so strong that nobody can win besides us. We start beating the weaker players and move up step by step. A "bad" player is a player worse than you. There is a fluid line between "reg" or "fish". There is a lot of rhetoric out there...usually coming from either people who don't win at all (jelaous), or from people who are the best of the best and want the others to be stupid and play against them.
We're not there yet tho, so you don't have to worry . The economy is quite big and there is still a LOT of room.
What happens if with time the possible winnings shrinks a lot?
Will you reduce the 60k contract or people have to grind it out?
Your question is quite good, i get that from students inside the program as well. The future will be what the future will be. Being scared is NOT HELPFUL, nor SMART. We create WINNERS. And one thing about winners and a winner mentality is that you will ALWAYS FIND A WAY.
Once i am done with you (or anybody else), your confidence will be so high that you KNOW that no matter what happens, you will find a way.
And this confidence will not be based on praise or whoo-whoo talk that you don't deserve. It will be based on YOUR BANKROLL.
Having that said, in such a case the contract will very likely be reduced ofc.
I understand that you make player to big winning players, but with time and people finishing your program in the net outcome with time there will be always better and better players, fighting for the same bad players.
Thanks and good luck with your program
I will insert some answers in bold.
Here some thoughts about your last paragraph:
Well, i hope you don't mind some tough words. MANY or MOST people here would write what you write. They do this because they have NO CONFIDENCE and LOW EXPECTATIONS !!!
The hard truth is that they have a lot of reasons for low confidence ;(
BUT YOU CAN CHANGE IT !!!
You will be on the team of winners who will simply always be better/smarter (in the sense of making more money) than the rest.
It's called EVOLUTION. The weak get beaten. Love it or hate it... it's a fact.
Many people say it was "easier" in 2004. But everybody was less educated as well. It's always easy to look back and say "OMG look how stupid people in 1547 were". Having that said, even accounting for differences, it probably was easier back then.
DOES IT MATTER ???
NO, because nobody cares!
All this whining about games getting tough, it's nothing new! When i started at the end of 2006, people said EXACTLY THE SAME **** !!!
So while there is natural variance in markets, i am personally a BIG BELIEVER in poker in the longterm. Here is why:
* Poker and/or gambling games are NOT going away. They've been around since humans are alive
* The price of software goes to 0 over the long run (google docs is FREE, most online services are etc etc). At the moment we see the opposite trend of rake going up on poker sites, but long term it has to go down, creating a lot more profits for players vs sites. Regulation is another reason for that
* The Internet and technology like Bitcoin will enable players to circumvent all regulation
Ok, that's why i am very happy. Maybe poker "could" become tough for a year or maybe it will evolve in some way to decrease the power of software/bots... I don't know!
WHAT I DO KNOW - and this is the ONLY IMPORTANT THING - is that everybody has to answer for himself:
1) Am i a loser or a winner
2) Am i a victim or empowered person
If you want to be a winner and empowered person - and play poker - then you should join our program.
The other questions will be soooo NOT important. But only somebody who is willing to become a winner and empowered will understand this.
Cynical people will always have their smarta$$ "gotcha" questions and theories!
Ok, thanks for this good question and i like the way you write and ask! I hope my super long answer has helped you in feeling about your decision either way.
Wish you the best of luck as well!!!
