El D,

Yes, I see Stox's reply to Goofyballer's post now. This sounds great, and if that's the way it's to be run, then the forum is perfectly placed as far as I'm concerned. This is very similar to the way the IB forum works.

rofl, Taylor already owning that thread imo

Barrin6 advises...
 

This should be a good forum.

TT,

Since it appears you coach and to one degree or another know more than us regular posters where does the site now stand on coaching discussion - especially discussing competitor sites like Cardrunners.

If the question came up i and many others would recommend CR over Stox simply due to their huge backcatalog (end shill, lol); but if i was Stox and was paying 2+2 to have this forum i wouldnt want the rest of the site recommending any other site or service like those you and goofy offer.

Its simple actually. Users can recomend anything they want. Owners/operators/employees can respond when others ask about their services as long as it doesn't become spammy. Owners/operators/employees cannot start their own threads because that is blatant spam.

As a coach (I only have a handful of students, its not my main priority) I actually recommend that the student joins a video coaching site in addition to the one-on-one coaching. I support and recommend the student explore each of the major three sites and determine for themselves where the best fit is, sometimes that will include a subscription to more than one service. My Razz coaching videos are hosted at Deuces Cracked, because not only are we friends (I am also friendly with Stox for what its worth) but I also love their single-table one-one-one style so they have more time to discuss concepts and hand reading but there is no doubt that Stox is fantastic at multitabling and high limit vids. I was a huge supporter of Stox in the early days and I was also a member of Card Runners; in fact my style of play is very similar to Stoxtrader's thought process. Although I work with Deuces Cracked, my opinion just goes to show that there is plenty of room for multiple options - there is more than enough to go around.

I forgot to mention, Diablo wont stop AIMing me while I am at work. OK, I am done dropping names for the day.

Re: new forum: Coaching/Training
 

My apologies for bringing an ATF thread back on topic, but kudos to Stox for allowing CardRunners to post their newsletter in that forum.

Re: new forum: Coaching/Training
 

bump

now there's a deucescracked coaching forum. wtf is going on? seems like this might make stoxpoker change their forum policy on allowing discussion of other sites.

Re: new forum: Coaching/Training
 

Just noticed that myself.

Key quote from deuces cracked:

"What this forum is not:

This forum is not a place for people to advertise their coaching services."

Seems like the stox forum will be for all coaching discussion that isnt related to deuces cracked.

Is it really really weird that i dont immediately recognise Joe Tall, yet the guy has 10k posts?

Re: new forum: Coaching/Training
 

The savviest part of these new forums is that I can't get the "Coaching/Training" menu to stay closed on the sidebar.
