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 exactly what I had hoped for :) You are a great teacher! Credits and props also go to all those that participated for being respectful and asking great questions :)

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. :)

it was a great learning experience. Yes, it was a bit crazy at
times but Jen was able to answer all questions and easily keep up
with all our chatting.
You are a great instructor, Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.
You make it look sooo easy..
Good Luck in the Future with your poker and life in general..
Take Care and dlomsb....

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!!!

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.
