Default pokerxfactor worth it?

I´m playing for ~7 months, studied all the books etc, enjoying this forum very much for a few weeks now, and have just won back a little more than i spent during the first few months.

So, do you think pokerxfactor is worth the 150$ for a rookie like me? I´m looking for more inputs.

Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks in advance.

this depends to some degree on your bankroll -- if it is low enough that $150 would a significant hit, then it probably isnt the best idea -- just use the free resources here on 2p2 (read the anthologies in MTTF and STTF, etc). if $150 is like 5% or less of your BR, i would say its absolutely worth it.

Kentucky,

try the obvious URL. It's a training site with videos by some of the best MTTers out there.

If you can afford it (like mlagoo said, if it's 5% or less of your BR) it's very much worth it.

If you are a recreational player, as in this is your hobby, there is no better way to learn imho, and the money shouldn't be a problem. The $150 is less that a decent driver, less than a decent rod and reel, etc. the $25 a month is less than a round of golf, etc.

the only reason not to do it is:

1) this is a significant amount to you. (so if your living without cable, crappy car, having a hard time paying your bills, skip it)

2) you are exceptionally lazy. i've had the service for 6 months and watched maybe 5 hours of video's. at $50 plus per hour it probably hasn't been worth it, but I keep it in the hope that I will stop being a [censored] at some point and watch them.

it's actually pretty inexcusable for me. I play with these guys everyday, they put out video's telling me exactly how they play and what they are thinking, I buy them, then don't watch em [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

i'm a part time/recreational player, and feel it's been worth the money. so take that as one data point anyway (oh, and if you join, use another PxF person as the referring person, we get some bonus points for it -- oh, i dunno, use my username maybe [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] )

good luck and join / participate in the forums there if you can!

Nope I don't think they work with any affiliates to offer membership discounts.

Honestly even if you had to revert to a diet of ramen noodles and ketchup packets, I would say PXF is well worth the investment. Everyone I've referred has gotten their memberships paid for with tournament winnings.

Standard order consists of:

1. Decide to join. Pay $150.
2. Watch countless videos until your eyes bleed while eating your ramen noodles and ketchup.
3. Play in tournaments.
4. ???????
5. PROFIT
