I have a quick question though, throughout the course I'm assuming the majority of your roll will need to stay online so as to climb stakes faster. That being said are new students expected to have a years (or more) worth of life expenses saved prior to beginning the course? As its pretty clear grinding 60+ hour weeks plus working full time would be tough to say the least.
Or are we regularly cashing out and then only challenging higher stakes once we are confident and properly rolled?
Thx, happy to hear that you like our material.
You have a good question.
SHORT ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION:
Our systems are built step-by-step. This means, you have to complete Step1 in order to get to Step2. Of course playing more means faster progress. At the end of the day it is up to you and your life circumstances to decide how fast you want it.
Detailed:
In a perfect world you would have life savings for 6 months. However, the world is not perfect and if you wait until it is perfect, you will become old and will rot in a basement, because instead of GOING FOR IT you will always wait for the "perfect spot".
The initial version of CFP was very strict and tough. Watch the ceremony. The first guy to get in (imachampion) needed to play 400k hands on baby stakes because he was close to broke. Oh, that was in one month btw! His eyes bleeded.
We had no cash outs, 60+hours per week minimum. In return i also never took out money until they were super comfortable with a BR. One guy got coaching for over a year without me asking for one cent.

OK. Now we have grown so big. Everything is even more systemized than before. This means that we can accept everybody into CFP.
You can play as many hours as you want. You decide how fast you succeed.
About Bankroll:
SKILL is a lot more important than bankroll That's why staking somebody in cash games is close to the dumbest thing you can do - hence we don't do it!!!
(very few exceptions, like always...)
If you got the skill, the bankroll will follow very quickly. So how many months of life-savings should you have?
I can't answer that for anybody. What i can say is that you should not pass an opportunity because you have too much fear.
Whenever a student cries like a little C4nt, i tell them NONE OF YOUR DECISIONS ARE LIKE THIS:

So stop worrying about all those things that nobody cares about when you're 80.
You live once. Be smart. I'm not saying throw your job away. But even if it sounds "cheezy", you should follow your heart.
