just last week, i decided to sign up on TruePoker. i did so because of another thread on this forumn stating that you could pay $20 for an hour of tutorial with Sklansky/Malmouth. apparently, you e-mail them of your interest, and when 10 people e-mail, you sit at a $3/6 real $$$ table for 1 hour and play. all your HH's are sent to Sklansky/Malmouth for review. 2 weeks later, they send commentary on your play.
well, i e-mailed explaining i was interested in this service. for 5 days now, i get no response at all.
in the mean-time, i get a $100 bonus (30% i think). i'm playing 2 tables at a time. i would play more, but it is kind of hard to follow the action given the 3-D nature of the software. 300 hands, and seemingly HOURS UPON HOURS of playing, i clear all of $10 of the bonus(playing $4/8 6-max and very little $2/4 full ring). the software is kinda cool looking, but it is so slow, i really could not stand it. the games were quite soft, and i profited $165.00 in the short time i played, but i can't play there anymore. i cashed out my $500 last night.
i still gotta clear out some bonus $$$ at absolute, so off i go, then back to Empire for the speed, easy on the eyes, soft games, and rake rebate!
i'll definitely make another deposit at True if i get a response about the Sklansky/Malmouth tutorial, but other than that, i can't imagine having a good enough reason to go back.
cheers!
