Hi all, I joined TPE a week or two ago and wanted to post a few thoughts on the site.

I’ve been a member of I think five video sites over the years, and taken a “free look” at the videos on a couple of others.  Comparing TPE to other training sites, I really appreciate your efforts to build a community.  You guys deserve credit for paying attention to the player; I really like how you are open to suggestions, and how the coaches comment so often in the forums.   It’s good that you focus on MTT’s and if you keep it up in the direction you’re going, I wouldn’t be surprised if you are the leader in MTT training soon. 

My suggestions on the kind of videos to make would be to feature more of the type where a member or other non-pro has their hand history reviewed.   I see you already have 3-4 of that type and that’s great.  But my suggestion, and it might be radical, is that I think training sites should make 30-50 % of their videos this type.  The amatuer players really needs this kind of coaching.  Videos where a coach and an amatuer player are both talking, with the amatuer asking questions, would be great.  It’d good to see videos of the coach shipping some big event; those are always going to be there.  But every site does that.  How about more videos where the kinds of questions that the typical player struggles with get raised and answered? 

Also, I like videos where the commentary is hard-hitting.  Some sites never want to insult any player or their play  because they might be a member.  I want to hear real criticism!    Actually you guys are pretty good at that too.  Enjoying the site!  Good luck
