First off, thanks to Stacks and Sasquatch for the recent free-GS-membership tournament! We've awarded all but one of the prize memberships (as we're still awaiting final word on the last one).

Now then, some updates. Unfortunately, another of our instructors retired. Da Goat landed a gig as a semi-pro basketball player, so unless/until things calm down from that, we won't see much of him.

As always, the loss of one instructor means the introduction of another. We're very happy to have Peter "Marshall28" Jennings join us as a 6-max instructor. Peter has been successful at the tables playing up to $600nl, and his achievements away from the tables are equally impressive: articles published in 2+2 Magazine and videos released for Card Runners. We're delighted to have Peter on the team, and equally delighted that he's offering coaching packages with rates as low as $75 per hour.

To hear more about Peter, check out Episode 19 of the free Grinderschool Poker Podcast.

The other major update is that our former instructor, AAPoker, is returning to Grinderschool to do a series of videos reviewing his $100k score in the Full Tilt $750k Sunday Major. These videos will be released every other week, starting this week. In the off weeks, we will release Fjuanl's How to Master MTTs series.

Finally, we are still about halfway through CodeRed's How to Master Full Ring series - which despite its title is actually information relevant to any cash game player.

Cheers,

Sugar Nut is back!

Many present and former members of GS have missed Sugar Nut in his absence that started last June. No more! He has returned, ready to shake things up and dig in to providing more insight to his students.

To hear more about what happened and where Sugar Nut has been, check out the free download of GS Podcast #22. Incidentally, #22 is the last podcast of the 2009 season. We're taking a break for the holidays, but will be back with more come 2010.

One other tidbit that may interest people here at FTR (perhaps even non-BC members): GS instructor Marshall28 has decided to run a special for 1-on-1 coaching through the end of 2009. Normally his rates for individual 1-hour sessions are $100, but for the rest of the year, he will provide GS and FTR members coaching at a rate of only $75 per hour. Marshall28 is a winning player up through $600nl 6-man and $400nl HU/FR, and moreover, he's very interested in passing on his knowledge to others who may benefit. Contact him via email at Marshall28@grinderschool.com

More Marshall28 Videos!

We've got more than a few Marshall28 6 max videos waiting to be released; the latest ones will be from 600nl 6 max and is a two-part series. These 2 videos will become the highest-stake videos on the site and should be a good change of the mix from other videos that we release.

Also, today we've released the first video of long-time FTR member TLR so if you are an SNG player you better check him (and other FTRer Nakamura) out!

We at Grinderschool wish everyone in the US a Happy Thanksgiving! The 'official' Grinderschool.com Turkey Recipe may or may not follow .

Sincerely,

500th Video!

With the release of Marshall005 today, Grinderschool has just released its 500th video! We know that 500 videos is a lot and for new members who are just starting out a common question is 'where do I start?' In honor of our 500th video, we're going to be re-releasing videos that have been influential to the growth of our site and our members over the past two years. Every Saturday, I'll create a new thread for discussion on the video with links to the old release. This will not detract from the 5 videos/week that we're currently releasing while the length of this program is still up in the air.

We're going to start it this Saturday so keep an eye out. Thanks again!

Jeff

Hi guys,

I've got a few updates for you about the latest developments at GS. First off, we've brought in a few more part-time instructors, but this time it's not to replace anyone we had previously. Instead, they are joining the site to expand our content-base. Here's a summary of who is joining:

Covering Pot Limit Omaha will be MrPadawan who is well qualified to beat 200 PLO and lower. For all HORSE games, including Limit Hold'em, Limit Omaha High/Low, Razz, Stud High and Stud High/Low is Sol Reader. And finally Grinderschool's new Heads-up specialist is Frank the Tank.

The other major thing I'd like to announce is a new article written by one of our Senior Members. DoanDiggy wrote a comprehensive guide on how to use virtually every feature available in Poker Stove. There's a lot of things I didn't even know it could do! This article is free to everyone - just click the articles link in the navigation bar at the top of the page.

Cheers and good luck going forward in 2010!

Each of our 525+ videos is available for subscribers to download in WMV and FLV formats, with no DRM. If your handheld supports these file types, then you're good to go. If not, it require conversion into a format that your device supports, but there are a number of free tools available (just check google) to do this conversion when needed.

Thanks,

Update!

We're releasing Two Rush Poker videos this week on Full Tilt. One is from Marshall28 4 tabling 6-max and another by KillsAids for Full Ring. Also, our first episode of the 2010 Podcast Season is on Sunday and JGB, myself and instructor SugarNut talk about a potentially controversial strategy regarding a pre-flop play but you'll have to listen to find out.

It will be available for free both on the Grinderschool site and Itunes starting Sunday.

Due to the continued support of all our subscribers, Grinderschool would like to officially announce that it will begin daily video releases starting March 1st.

So instead of the current 20 videos being released, Grinderschool will release 31 videos in March; that's a 50% increase in content for the same low price!

Keep in mind this is a big step in keeping Grinderschool as the #1 provider of videos for Small and Micro Stakes content and we are doing everything we can behind the scenes to make this place as awesome as possible.

one question, are you planning on accepting payments via Pokerstar? I think it's really easy to do (just create an account) and it's a really easy/fast way to subscribe !

If you follow the advice given in the forums and videos while developing your skills, then I'm certain your Grinderschool Subscription will be well worth the cost.

Measuring how much money you make off the advice given to you here on FTR, Grinderschool, or anywhere for that matter depends on the effort you're willing to put in to improving your game and the quality of content given. I'm certain Grinderschool videos have the quality needed to improve your game.

Officially, it is against Poker Star's Terms of Service to receive money for this purpose. So no, we do not have an official account to receive money from Poker Stars.

If they ever change their terms of service though then we will certainly make the announcement that we'll be able to accept funds on there.

Hey Guys!

Ready for some updates? We've had several new changes in the past month that will sure to be of some interest to you all.

For you MTT players out there, our new instructor PiRaToS14 has been a valued member on the GS Forums for 2 years and has been absolutely crushing the small stakes MTT games this year. He's also going to be in this Sunday's Podcast after winning last week's Grinderschool Tournament Series Pot Limit Omaha Event.

Our other new instructor is a solid FTR Regular: Micro2Macro. He will be releasing videos in full ring cash games and has loads of excellent advice to give players with big hearts but small bankrolls.

We've also recently released a hand history converter (still in beta) AND a new and improved Grinderschool Calendar so you can see all the videos we plan on releasing in the next 4-6 weeks. We try and answer all requests and suggestions for our daily video releases.

Otherwise I'm around FTR every day if you guys have questions or comments post here, PM me or ship me an email and I'll answer your question ASAP.
