I am considering joining one of the training sites but they all seem to be heavily tilted toward cash games (nothing wrong with that) but I want to focus on MTT's with a few SNG's thrown in. They buy-in's don't matter to me, I just want the best bang for my buck.

Thanks!!

I never have tried it, but pokerxfactor has many p5ers and I think there focus is almost exclusively on tournaments. I can't tell you how good it is or not, though.

pxf hands down

hey guys i registered to pxf and having a look around i cant find any reading material available to non-paying members, is that site only usefull if you pay or am i missing the good stuff ?? any info is welcome cheers

Yeah, you have to pay. I kind of felt the same. They ask for you to register etc but you can't access the forum's or anything. I thought that was kind of lame. Not to mention they have the most expensive sign up fee from any other site. Even more than Cardrunners.

I heard pokersavvy is good :-)

hey guys just wanted to ask (pokerxfactor users or former members)

I am thinking of joining pxf but wanted to know if it really can help you make final tables in those large tournaments of 1000-2500 players since so much LUCK & variance really seems to show who makes it or not. (a few bad beats and you are crippled)

I know pxf will help my S&G, but am spectical about those multitable tournaments.

Like in stats speaking how many times can a player usually finish 1st in those large as* tournaments NLH........1 out 50 or 1 out 100 times
same goes for final tables.

Those big multitable tournaments are like lotteries. I won a tournament only once in 4 years of playing, (mostly play ring games).

Is pxf for the players who play the big online tournaments like $150 and up (including rebuys)?
I usually play the $20-$40 multitable tournaments.

thanks

well here is my take on it...

first i will say i joined PXF in November of last year

i was basically a slight winner... basically abreak even player before PXF... i had read Harrington on Hold em numerous times...

I play primarily MTTs... and i was micro stakes (no more then $5 for tournaments)

i joined PXF and within 3 weeks i made most of my money back by taking first in a freeroll on PStars for $120 (i couldnt deposit with my CC and had just joined PS because macs werent supported til December)

i had an OK month in Jan... made money... but not much
i lost some money in Feb
then i had a break through in march... things i watched in videos were now really sinking in... concepts that i didnt really grasp as well started sinking in
march i didnt win any tournaments... but i made 4 final tables in fields of 1000+ that month... 2 3rd places in the $1 Ferguson... and a 3rd place and an 8th place in the Early Double

April hasnt been as good as my march... but ive been consistently running deep in larger field tournaments with larger buy ins then before...

april has been lots of close calls:
14th in early double
41st twice in early double
43rd in early double
46th in the $28k guarantee
53rd in the $28k guarantee
59th in Midnight Madness
78th of early double
80th of the $32k guarantee

keep in mind these fields range from about 900-1600... and buy ins range from $6 to $26

to the person who made a comment about the forums... the reason the forums are as good as they are at PXF specifically because they are for members only... the posts are usually informative, and without the flame wars on every other site... the PXF chat room is even useful, because pros like Rizen can be found in the chat room often and he does his best to answer any question you can throw at him... from asking him about a poker theory question... to having him analyze a hand you played

i cant say it will be a perfect fit for anyone else out there... but PXF has worked wonders for me... and i continue to learn things from them daily...

there are videos at all stakes... with the concentration being the higher stakes tournaments... i was pretty skeptical that the things i learned there would work in lower buy in tournaments... but they do with some minor adjustments (which they go over in the lower buy in videos)

as far as the huge field tourneys

they have videos of the following:
Rizens Sunday Million win
brsavages deep Sunday Million run 3rd place
aaaaaaa's FTOPS Main Event win
PearlJammers Sunday Million 2nd place

just to name a few

they have both live videos and videos done through the replayer.... which i might add that the PXF replayer is well worth the cost of the subscription alone

im going to end my long infomercial here now.. lol... sorry i sound like im working for them... but im just really happy about my experience @ PXF

PXF hands down.
