Husng.com

Sorry for the lack of posting, I've been waiting on husng.com to transfer my blog (as well as other's blogs).

Here's the current state of the site:

Right now we have the videos we need to launch the site. The site is functional in most ways. There are a few kinks we're working out now and we're basically testing the membership and video download functions to make sure they work seamlessly before we finalize a launch date.

Some Q and A

How much will a membership cost?

This is TBA.

How many videos will you have?

Four instructors will have 5 videos each for the launch (20 videos total) and we will release at least one new video per week per instructor as well as the occasional guest video.

Who are the instructors?

There are four full time instructors making videos for the site. Here they are with a brief description of each player:

Croixdawg: Robert Ford plays high stakes husngs on PokerStars under the alias Croixdawg. He generally plays the 500 level husngs and is one of the biggest husng winners on the site. He's had experience at every level of the game and is a well rounded player.

Psimalive: Known as Skates on the 2p2 forums, psimalive is a high volume player. His style and philosphy is unique and centers around a high confidence and background in mathematics. He's whethered some very tough downswings to go along with some of the biggest upswings in his husng career. He attained supernova elite on pokerstars in his very first year of playing and regularly plays the 220-1100 level husngs on Pokerstars. He also has experience in other games, including STTs and PLO.

RyPac13: Me, if you read this blog you know a little bit about me, but I'm primarily a 110-220 level husng player. I started in the 5 dollar husngs with 150 dollars 2 years ago.

xSCWx: Plays on FTP under the name big tuna JKo. Also runs a very successful coaching business on 2p2 (username xSCWx) with a great history of successful students as well as videos. You can usually find him on FTP playing the 220 level husngs and beyond with great success.

What will the videos focus on?

We will be focusing exlusively on husngs, first of all. Beyond that, the majority of the content will be aimed at players struggling to beat the low to mid stakes, but we will have plenty of content aimed at higher stakes players or successful low-mid stakes players attempting to move up the ladder. Most videos will be of an instructor playing a husng and recording audio with his thought process and mindset throughout the game. Other videos may focus on powerpoint presentations, HH reviews, sweats of other players or instructor vs instructor type videos. The videos won't be limited to those options, however, they are just some examples of what we will be rolling out regularly.

How long will the videos be?

Videos will range anywhere from 20-45 minutes on average, not shorter than 20 minutes but sometimes longer than 45 minutes. We aim to keep videos at a 20-30 minute range because we've found a vast majority of video subscribers from other sites only watch 20-30 minutes at a time or find they can only focus on a video for 20-30 minutes.

Instead of making our videos 60+ minutes and forcing downloads/streams to be much longer and less efficient, we've decided to keep the videos to a more managable time.

Will there be any free content?

Each instructor, as well as a few other top husng players will maintain blogs on the site that everybody can view. There will also be free tools and applications such as a variance calcutor, risk of ruin application and husng-tooled hand history reviewer.

As far as free videos go, there will be some sort of free video or free video preview on the website for users to view prior to subscribing.

What else will be going on with the website?

Other services offered on the website will be a coaching service. Coaches retain 100% of all coaching proceeds, the site takes nothing, so you can rest assured you are paying no vig for any coaching services you purchase on the site.

Aside from that, we will work with rakeback providers to offer you the absolute best deal on rakeback for husngs. We understand that husng grinders pay some of highest total rake on poker sites, as such it is important to find the best deposit bonuses and rakeback offers for everybody.

There will be a forum, specifically a forum for membership to ask questions, offer advice and work closer with our instructors.

Many other things are set to happen on husng.com and I'll keep you updated as other offers/aspects of the site develop.

How will I be able to pay for a subscription?

You will be able to use your credit/debit card or other method of payment via paypal to purchase subscriptions. P2P transfers for subscriptions are also a possibility, but likely only for bulk subscriptions.

Who will be making guest videos?

You're going to have to wait for that one. Rest assured the players making guest videos will be very skilled and successful players, many of which you'are already familiar with.

---------

That's all I have for now, I'll keep you updated as we test the site and near a launch date. If you have any questions after reading my little FAQ, drop me a comment or email me.

To the handful of people who emailed, commented or PMed me about adding your blog link to my links list: I am having trouble adding new links right now, I think the format for links has changed since I put up my original links on the right side, I may have to redo all of them if I can't figure out how to add additional links in the old format, so please be patient. I'll have you added soon.

I'm really looking forward to the launch of the site having just started, like you, with $150 and playing $5.25 games, hoping to make it to the $50 or $80's by the end of the year.
