I don't think they are regular, no. At least not weekly. Could be once every month, I dunno. Come and ask him I guess :)

Yea, but on Stars you shall expect a much much heavier reg pool. esp on 50+. I'm not saying you can't beat it or anything, but your roi will be smaller and I'm not sure that the 20% less rake makes up for it _as_long_as_you_have_uncleared_fdbs on some sites. Such as WH, they have a good one. But I think you should move for ongame or maybe party to cause Tim some hard moments :coolface:

So, had a great coaching with Collin Moshman. It was so useful and fun for me!

Did you guys also find it useful? Hard to say objectively when it's your hands. Spots were interesting? etc...

Thoughts please :)

GN guys, getting pretty late and I've got uni tomorrow :) take care!

Few more "tricky spots" would have been nice, but overall it was good :)

Hi. Would also like to suggest a PC set. It is recommended by one of the local PC forum members and a good one. Not an expert myself.

SAPPHIRE HD5670 1GB GDDR5 PCIE16 11168-30-20G (chosen by me because of the prize though not sure if it fits :P) If you are not going for gaming there is no need for expensive card.

Otherwise would recommend Sapphire 6850 which is like 80€ more expensive than 5670.

CORSAIR DDR3-1333 2*4G CL9 KIT XMS3+CHS CMX8GX3M2A1333C9
Intel BLKDH67CLB3 H67 DDR3 1333/ HDMI+DVI-I / 1xPCI-E x16/ 2xPCI-E x1/ 3x PCI/ 5xSATA
Intel Core i5 2310
SEA BARRACUDA 500GB 3.5" SATA3 7.2K 16MB ST500DM002 (basically your free choice)
SeaSonic S12II series 520W 85+ (Bronze) (around 65€) or
CHIEFTEC A-80 PSU 550W 12CM ATX2.3 80+ CTG-550-80P (around 45€) Bronze one is more silent

GIGA-BYTE CASE MIDITOWER ATX W/O PSU/GZ-X2 BLACK GIGABYTE (free choice but it is cheap and not bad either)

Those PSUs have quality and imo the most important part of PC. If it blows your system will blow. Same story for motherboard. Dont save money there. This model is around 80€.

If you havent put a PC together before I would suggest investing something like 20€ so that shop does it for you.

It would be great if you could invest some buck for UPS also in case the power is cut off. Sudden power fluctuations (electricity off/on/off/on etc/storms) could harm your system. So UPS is your safe bet.

About 600€ together

Cheers

You absolutely have to get a SSD, a decent one like 128gb will go.. can keep all your pron in a slow hdd anyway but run windows, your databases and everything you use daily off the SSD.

it will change your life.

True. If OP can find 150€ extra it is the way to go.

yea, I would've loved that too but I've already spent lot of hours on finding HH (they were from August, I obv didn't remember when I had interesting ones), also I tried to find ones that are overall somewhat interesting and not just 1-2 interesting spots in the whole HH... as it was a HH review and not individual hands... but dont get me wrong I completely agree, and I did think about it a lot in advance, I just don't want you to think that I randomly picked 3 HHs :) I couldn't find any better in the 5 or so hours I've spent with it :P

So, one last time, big thanks for the opportunity to both Collin and PS, I frakin' enjoyed it even tho I was pretty nervous when it turned out that I'll be speaking as well ... I mean... after all, he IS a legend and I was a bit nervous of answering stupid stuff or anything which is obviously lame but I'm not used to talking in front of 50-80 ppl, but as it turned out Collin is not only a poker legend but also a very nice guy, helped me pretty well, was very nice, made a lot of positive comments on my play...

Thanks a big lot, I won't forget yesterday's coaching for quite some time and I definitely learned lot of useful stuff so yeah, three big cheers!

Seeya guys,
akrammon
