    glgl (sry couldnt get the vids done for ya :rolleyes:). Andys videos will be funny. A coup getting soren and ozzy too, good work.

    1 tiny question about the site name - should it not be pokerswot.com or are you going to market it as a Poker Swat Team? Or is it just pedantry either way lol


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 595 ✭✭✭Tight Ted


    I can't understand why any poker training site with such an Irish influence wouldn't include high stakes videos by DBC2008.

    Did he demand too much cash or did you just feel that he plays too high stakes and his videos would be irrelevant to small/mid stakes player?

    :pac::pac::pac::pac:

    Well done. Fantastic lineup, especially Ozzy and Traheho.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,459 ✭✭✭T-b0n3


    Looks good. I' definitely interested. Best of luck.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,080 ✭✭✭HiCloy


    Impressive line up, best of luck with it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,771 ✭✭✭carfax


    Concentrating on PLO is a good move imo, I think this will do really well.....Never knew that there were other training sites around.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,806 ✭✭✭Lafortezza


    Is it pokerswat or pokerswot? Cos one doesn't make any sense.
    Good luck with it anyway!

    Alec Torelli just comes across as a total lagtard to me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,822 ✭✭✭tipp86


    Whats the general membership fee for these training sites??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,646 ✭✭✭cooker3


    around 15-20 per month


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,924 ✭✭✭shoutman


    Good luck with this one lads.

    As said above I think concentrating on PLO is very good, as it seems to me that most of the other training sites are either geared towards 6 max/hu nl hold em (leggo) or try to do everything (Cardrunners)

    Hey Dan, Andys videos are great - the first video he did, he made a live recording of the Party Poker 300k guaranteed and won it. Yes its Swat, ingenius marketing ploy:cool:

    :pac::pac::pac::pac:


    He demanded 10% equity in the business, 10k per video and unlimited royalties... i was willing to push the boat out for him, but not that far

    thx Ian, Ozzy is doing PLO and NL videos for the site, has 2 PLO ready for launch and will be starting NL videos next month. Traheho has 3 videos for launch and did 2 really good heads up ones at 3/6 and 10/20

    Level 1:

    Monthly Fee: €8.99/$13.99
    Signup Fee: €14.99/$23.99

    Level 2:

    Monthly Fee: €12.99/$19.99

    Will there be any MTT strategy vids/content?

    Hey, yes there will be at least 10 MTT videos for the launch. We have some quality MTT coaches in Soren Kongsgaard, Andy Ward, Matt 'Plattsburgh' Vengrin and Jon Spinks. Thers also likely to be MTT content from Marty Smith, Traheho, Andy McLEOD and Ozzy 87 in the coming months.

    Thanks for all the best wishes guys.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 203 ✭✭Vamos


    Very nice lineup, best of luck with it. Will the videos be drm licenced like on cardrunners or will they open like on deucescracked(you can play videos on ipod etc).


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 797 ✭✭✭meathman 007


    hey, there will be DRM on our videos. We looked into not having DRM, but it just creates too many issues - e.g people sign up and download all the videos and pass them on to all their friends etc and then cancel their membership, videos appearing on PokerTube etc..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,267 ✭✭✭opr


    Best of luck to everyone involved in this. Really impressive line up of players.

    If it's all that it says it's going to be, then you would be mad not to invest. Looking forward to it. Best of luck to Donal and his partner in crime.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 150 ✭✭lillou


    best of luck. looking forward to seeing the finished product.
