A warm welcome to all readers of the Coaching/Training forum from the CardRunners team. StoxPoker has graciously allowed us to post our October newsletter in their forum. We hope you find it useful and encourage you to spend time researching all your training options to make a well informed decision about the best platform for your individual needs. Our thanks go out to the Stoxpoker crew for getting this much needed forum off the ground.
Here are our news and notes for the month of October.
NEW PROS
<ul type="square">[*]
Cole "cts" South has joined our team of lead instructors and will be making regular NLHE and PLO videos exclusively for CardRunners. His first video was a $25/$50 NLHE multitabling video wherein he played headsup sessions versus Ozzy87 and Stevesbets/Glove85 as well as putting on a clinic in isolating and abusing a weak fish on his 6max table. Cole regularly plays under the name "Muckemsayuhh" on both Full Tilt and Ultimate Bet and is one of the biggest winners in poker since 2006.

NEW WEBSITE
<ul type="square">[*] CardRunners has released the most
advanced set of Hand History tools available on the internet. In addition to offering easily readable HH's similar to PokerHand.org, our tools allow you to upload entire sessions , save them on our server, sort by pot size, biggest gains, etc. These hand histories will also automatically attach your opponents VPIP/PFR/AF statistics to all your hand histories.
[*] All members will now be able to
start their own Poker Blogs similar to those written by Brian "sbrugby" Townsend and Taylor "Green Plastic" Caby at CardRunners. All member blogs will be hosted at CardRunners.com and are made a part of our official blog network allowing friends to view each other's blogs and see which member blogs are increasingly popular.
[*] Our newly coded website has
dramatically increased the speed of all downloads and browsing. Forum pages will now load more quickly and videos may be downloaded at faster speeds from either our US server, or EU mirror.[/list]
