Although I didnt get to see a whole lot of it, I did learn about aggression and also there were some very good questions from the railers and of course Jenn you kicked butt from what I observed!!  Very good and I hope you do another one again in the near future and I will definitely make it to that one in its entirety!!!!

Got in late, but picked up many good pointers.  Thanks, Jenn!

Personally I think it was a little chaotic with how many people were commenting (including myself) but I think the general idea was to give something back to the pocketfives community.

Especially to those folks who are grinding their BR up through sng's and are not in a class of the ballers we frequently see on P5's.

I noticed after the game during the lengthy Q & A session a lot of people were already implementing some techniques you had used in your games. People were popping in saying things like "hey I was way more aggressive during bubble play and built my stack up".

I can really see a lot of advantages to people contacting you for more help in a smaller forum possibly even one on one training.

Overall the responses I saw were all positive and I think people learned a great deal.

I suggest you PM Jennifear for more information about future training seminars.

Thanks for your time Jenn!

It was excellent throughout Jen. I think everyone thoroughly enjoyed it, and could only have added to their game by being there. As Diss said it was a little chaotic at times, but that was to be expected given the format and general level of enthusiasm of the P5'ers there.

Undoubtedley a success.

Thanks "Teach."

It was overall very good, but gurrrrrrrl you need to see more flops!

Some plays I flat-out disagreed with, like your push for 1400+ more into a 90 pot in the SB with AQo, your big raise OOP in the SB with AQo in another example to 120 at 10/20 blinds (why build a big pot OOP?), and your flat-call on the I believe it was a 256 flop with 88 to the guys 240 all-in, which allowed the other guy in behind you and allowed him to semibluff into you on the turn -- which is in itself about 40 times worse than your play -- and keep the shortie alive (with Q6 for a pair of 6's, easily your pot if you had made it so). Need to knock that donk out with a small raise, not too hefty in case he was slowplaying a monster, even a minraise is fine.

Some other moves I wound up saying "Yeah I'd have played it the same way" like when you ran into the KK, nothing you can do there (nice flop though), or I can't remember your cards but you minbet the flop when I was whispering to myself "I'd minbet the flop!" I got a good laugh out of that one.

I wish I could've stayed longer to witness more of your bubble play, since that's probably the most important part of SNG's.

Sorry if this seems like it should've been brought up in the Q&A portion, but I was unable to be present for that. Overall, great experience, very enlightening. I am sure I speak for everyone when I say I appreciate the time you took out of your day to give us all this for free. :)

perhaps you could do an invite only password restricted session and invite 5-10 players at a time. i think that would eb way more productive. I'd pay a nickel for it.

A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Jenn you are amazing.
 Some railbirds were awesome explaining stuff indepth.
 The learning curve is overwhelming and I hope you could have smaller groups where we are actually playing and then the group can critique our play.

Thanks again!!!

JR

I think I speak on behalf of the students that we all benefited from your generosity.  It got a bit hectic at times, but that was to be expected.  All-in-all it was a great experience and I can't wait for (possible) future lessons and some more 1-on-1 tutoring.

DLOMSB and "just win the last hand."

Thanks Jenn.

Thought it was great!  I was only able to watch you play two but kept the chat open so I could come back to it throughout the day.  You explained all of your decisions very well.  I had played close to 1,000 sng's before last night with a little over a 10% ROI, but this was the first time I had ever railed anyone.  Watching you play answered a lot of questions I had that weren't even brought up in the discussion.  Mainly about bubble agression.  I think I was pushing too much and not just raising enough.  I would almost sit on my stack until I had to push.  I put what I learned into action last night and played 20 with a 50% ITM and 4 of those were 1st.  I can tell you have really put a lot of time and thought into this game.  Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the rest of us.
