Couple of things. I'll try to refrain from making a marathon post of my own. First is this - I haven't finished reading the initial post yet as I'm at work - will do it tonight - but what I have seen is very very good.

I'm signing up for this class. I've gone through a similar process before and moved on to work on different parts of my game, but it never hurts to work on fundamentals. Starting today I'm signing up for this class.

Regarding multi-table. I keep reading people saying that you can play 2 and 4 tables, and not too long ago I made such observations myself. If you are new to poker and prone to playing too many hands playing more tables can be a help - once you've gotten involved in 2 or 3 hands at the same time and seen your decisions being completely ill-considered as a result you learn (hopefully) that you have to tighten up if only so that you only get involved in one hand that requires you to think at a time. That said, I think a lot of people underestimate the information overload that faces someone who is really trying to learn and work on his game.

For myself I've recently been playing a single table at a time - on Stars - and deliberately avoided fast tables (filtered them out) in my table selection. When trying to implement something new to your game you need to make sure you have time to plod slowly through thought processes that are still not completely familiar to you. You almost have to distrust your instincts and make sure every decision you make is one that is deliberately thought through. Combatting your now-obvious timing tells and so on will come later with routine - but it's probably important to be building the routine in the right type of decision making instead of in unthinking and instant reaction to whatever happens.l

I would suggest for this class that those who take it play on a single table, avoid fast tables, do not make any fast decisions, and keep a hand history window open on the side to keep you entertained in case things go too slowly - a hand history window lets you build an understanding of how other people are playing and while I'm sure Robb in later lessons will get into how to convert hand histories (or statistics) into reads and player profiles (if not already in one of the posted ones that I hadn't got to yet) there's nothing wrong with spending whatever attention you have left over just getting to know the other players.

Yesterday I played 411 hands of 6-max in 5 hours and a bit. Assuming this kind of speed every 1000 hands - every lesson or focus area if you will - will take 12-13 hours. In my opinion that's probably entirely appropriate. You don't learn anything well from doing it for half an hour. Assuming a 20k hands curriculum and only one table - that's 250 hours of work/study - during which you are probably a winning player anyway.

Will it be painful nitting it up 10/8 on one table for 12-13 consecutive hours of poker? Sure. But poker itself and learning poker are both also games of discipline. I've recently spewed off a few too many buyins for no reason, and while I don't expect to learn much in the way of poker from the first 1k hands under this regimen, I do intend to be working on my discipline.
