Group sweats
I had this idea reading thru the coaching sticky. First off, this isn´t meant to substitute an individual coaching, I have no doubt that will does a great job and can help you improve a whole lot. But

Teaching is a good way to learn also... so it's not completely one-sided.
No from my own experience I can tell that helping others surely helps ur own progress as well. Yet there´s the problem, that this forum and the BC crowd is divided in those who frequent IRC and those who dont, hence not everyone will have the opportunity of asking some of the small/midstakes regulars for a free sweating. In add to that I think that although the rate of $50 is a more than fair offer, only few guys at 25NL and below can afford it.
My idea is to set up a weekly group session, where a small or midstakes player volunteers to play a couple of tables and have the crowd railing him via Mikogo and a conference in Skype. I´ve had some experiences with group session in the past as a student and everyone agreed that it was pretty cool and helped a lot.
In case there is some interest in this I´m willing to go ahead and play 100NL 5max on Wed 9pm GMT. Let me know what you think.
