How do you follow someone through various stakes? The series would have to go on for a year.

Such a format is great for cashgames because you actually increase your bankroll quicker and by the end of the series you are playing 2-3 buyin levels higher than at the start. Do the same series for MTTs and you might as well be playing lower stakes at the end because you had to step down (variance and stuff).

You guys should check out Andre Coimbra's blog. He is a PS pro and is doing a $100 to $100k within a year challenge (he is also getting coached by TPE's Andrew Brokos): …..imbra.com/

He is 50 days in and his bankroll is at  15-20k .. so it is a loooong process.

I can see this work if this is a video series that goes on for a full year and we get like 2 videos per month. Just to give the student time to play and build his bankroll. The only problem: you need to find a pro that is willing to stick with TPE for a year, coach the student even in between videos and also find a student who doesn't just disappear 5 months in. Then it would be a great series – maybe combined with a regular blog.
