Wanted: 3-4 Marginal to Moderate Winners for 20NL Sweat Group--Must be Cake or Carbon Network Wanted: 3-4 Marginal to Moderate Winners for 20NL Sweat Group--Must be Cake or Carbon Network

Hi everyone! I've joined forces with another 2+2'er/Cake Poker reg to start up a very, very labor-intensive 6-max sweat group. We're both consistent winners at Cake 20NL and we're looking for 3-4 more Cake Network or Carbon (NO HUD) players to sweat with. I have a winrate of 3 BB/100 over ~80K hands 4-8 tabling and his is substantially better 6-10 tabling.

We both are willing to commit a huge amount of time to study and play over the next several months. He's on the cusp of playing 50NL full time and I hope to creep up there within a month or two. We both have very ambitious goals in terms of our progression and hope to rapidly climb up the ranks (as does any serious poker player I imagine). We'll be putting in at least 50K hands monthly, probably as much as 80K-100K and devoting at least 8 hours per week on sweating/chat/vid prep.

We'd like to find a few non-HUD players with a winrate between 3-7 BB/100 to round out our group (yes, I intend to be the group's weak link lol). We'll be using Skype, CamStudio, and TeamViewer or SharedView to share sessions. We'll do live sweats every other day and members will be expected to provide at least 2 or 3 CamStudio sessions with voiceover to other members weekly. We're also going to set up a chat and have weekly e-meetings to go over hand histories, concepts from books/articles, and vids we come across. We have several downloaded vids from DeucesCracked to get us started on vid review but at some point we will decide as a group what site to sign up for when as we come up.

Cliff Notes: If you're a proven profitable, non-HUD player that wants to put an ass-load of work into shooting up the ranks, please PM me. Group will climb to 200NL as quickly as we can manage, then reevaluate. Our purpose is, dare I say it, to become semi-professional players at worst.

Thanks for reading my tl;dr

This sounds fun but I don't have enough time to play that many hrs/hands per week.
I unfortunately have a real Job.

I thought about some of the numbers I tossed out there. 50K minimum might be just a little bit maniacal of me . I'm going to edit and say that we'd like to see a somewhat statistically significant sample monthly. 25K hands would probably be fine.

The most important thing really is the commitment to an hour of live sweating every other day, the ability to create a couple vids per week for everyone to look over, and willingness to participate in the e-meeting.

Impatient bump.

C'mon guys, I know there are tons of guys that want to slave away without HUDS lurking out there. Guys willing to sacrifice their health and happiness to launch themselves up through the levels.

Sounds good in theory, but I doubt many people can commit so much time at 20NL.

b.u.m.p.

2 more guys/gals needed. We've concluded we're going to have to be flexible on the volume played; the idea behind that was that it'd be nice to have people come up along side us, but really goal #1 is to get better. Much better, and rapidly.

I play on cake sporadicaly for periods of time and play NL20 / Nl50 on it.

Recently I have heard that NL20 is getting screwed somehow w/ rakeback? But that the games have been fishier as of late? Can anyone confirm the latter? Might be worth coming back if the games have gotten a lot softer like everyone is saying.
