    Hey,

    PokerXFactor has launched a "Backed by Bax/Sheets Contest" for the WSOP. The top 8 PXF subscribers in our MTT League will playoff in early June in a single table tournament. The winner will receive personal coaching from Bax and Sheets and be backed by them in the WSOP Main Event.

    The PXF MTT League is unique because we track results for over 60 tournaments a day on pokerstars. Each month, we take the top 8 results from the first 50 MTTs that our subscribers play on PokerStars and count those points toward league results. So, if you are interested in being part of this contest, you can join PXF and easily have time to play 50 tournaments in May. We've had some other big news at PXF lately, including:

    SNG Expert Chris "beanmo" Mozingo joined PXF and his videos are already being rated "top, top" by our subscribers! ;-)

    Our pros have just started to blog (free for all -- see them in the Training Center) and this includes a new "audio in replayer" feature that we'll be rolling out to all PXF subscribers. Pros are now posting articles as well.

    We're putting on ten more videos per week, including a lot more cash game videos from the PokerFox pros (PXF acquired PokerFox.net earlier this year) and Rizen.

    Good Luck!

    Scott

    Question

    If you join today will you go back to the first and include those tourney results or will the tourney numbers start on the day you subscribe?

    Great Idea BTW. Should boost the subcription rate.

    No, only results after you join the league ... we like our leaderboard to be accurate, which wouldn't happen if we took past results. Thanks.

    Great promotion, love it. Just one question:

    I'm I wrong assuming that people playing the bigger buy-in tourneys are the ones with more options to make high scores, hence those with 90% chances of making top 8? If so, what are the odds for those playing 10 to 50$ MTT's?

    Also, since you will probably read this, I have a Q. Will PXF ever have a MT SnG leaderboard, as it does with the 9 man SNG'S?

    Possible thread hijack....I would love to participate but my $$ is on another site. With epass gone, are there any legit options for moving $$ from site to site?

    Is it 50-50 no make-up?

    If you change this to a "be Sheets' apprentice at his real job, I'll buy 2 PXF accounts.

    I'm joining PXF this week, not for the WSOP stake as I wouldnt have a prayer. I've been wanting to make this move, and I'm excited to check it out. WOW, to whoever wins that spot w/the "Empire" in WSOP 08. =)

    Our league does not favor higher buy ins ... a bunch of our past winners were micro or low buy in players.

    Mindwise: I am a member and do love the site.

    Stupid question, but do I need to sign up for the league or am i automatically registered? I primarily play FTP--this would be worth playing more at stars.

    Thanks, rizniles

    no matter, Sheets said that if the winner was under 21 they would back him/her for $10K worth of Sunday majors.

    Sheets says

    "<span>Yeah so the deal is going to be that whoever wins will have 100% of his buyin paid for and will get to keep 40% of the profit,. I unfortunately will not be able to come back and forth in these forums to answer qs about the minutia so lets just say that bax and I will work out all the details with the winner.

    If the winner is under 21 then we will back him in 10k worth of Sunday majors online.

    We are not 100% sure what form the coaching will take but trust me, if we are backing the winner we will make **** sure he (she) is ready to play. "</span>

    semi intelligent question:

    what if the winner of this has already won a seat to the ME or already has backing for it from another source??

    10k of sunday majors?
