PokerSwat

The reason I was keen to meet someone from a training site was because I thought our customers were losing too much money and I think it's our responsibility as an online poker site to constantly improve our players, so even if they are going to lose money, they learn to lose less or of course win.

I had suggested to Marty we knock on the door of every losing player we have and stay with them until they played to his standard but a couple of things stopped us. One was his partner Karen and the other was the fact that we estimated it would take us 36 and a half years.

Online poker is recreational for most of its customers and as part of our development as a poker site we want our customers to enjoy our product more. Some players just want a quick fix, win or lose but others want to join the winners of poker and realise more knowledge about how the game is played has little downside.

PokerSwat can't afford to employ losing players so rest assured it's pretty much guaranteed that any of the instructors whose videos you watch are winning more than you are. If you don't think they are email me immediately - please.

Anthony and Donal are young, Irish, poles apart as people and great fun to meet and work with. They've learned a hell a lot in the last year but it will stand them both in good stead in the future. Personally, I think between them they have done an amazing job and I'm delighted I got Boyles to work with PokerSwat.

Anthony deserves a special mention for the work he put in whilst Donal had another project to attend to; he's aged so badly he's taken to dying his hair like the bloke from dollar, David van something, he must have been stressed.

I've only watched two of the videos so far, one was a 10 minute Andy Ward training video; it's what the site is all about. Judge for yourself, its free www.pokerswat.com.

The other was about 5 mins of Marty playing in an Omaha cash game, 2-4 or 3-6 and it was totally as I expected. He got aces every second hand and won every pot of any note.

I don't have time these days to play as much poker as I'd like (I will in the future), so I need assistance from online players to tell me if it's any good or not. That's not laziness, it's just I wouldn't be objective as I'm not qualified to judge at the moment.

There are some parts of the website I'm not a fan off but that's were you come in. Have a look, comment here, email what you think or discuss it on a forum, we will read it if you link it to us.

If you're a regular Boylepoker customer and you want to try it, I will give you a free subscription for a year. In return you will let me how you think the site is performing, if it's value for money, what you would do to improve it, why you would make changes, what impact they would have, rate the instructors etc etc. Email vip@boylepoker.com and I will look into for you, it may take me a bit of time to sort out but be patient.

Our aim is to help PokerSwat grow; their aim is to improve poker players, that's a pretty healthy relationship.
