Jonathan Little
I went from a marginal winner at 1-2 to being a big winner at 5-5 and 5-10 (over $60,000 in one year playing just 2-3 nights a week). When my daughter was born I was able to leave my job to spend days with her while playing poker at night. I can't thank Bart enough for helping give me the opportunity to spend more time with my family.
SLORowe
Since joining CLP about a year ago, I have been playing 3/5 and making $55/hr. I have a full time job and play about 15 hrs per week. I have gone through all of the CLP podcasts and have gone back and listened to the first 100 or so for a second time. I can definitely say CrushLivePoker has changed my life.
Cbtobe
During this short journey I went from a 2/5 win rate of $33.20/hr to $45.46/hr, a 37% increase in my hourly rate. More importantly, I have become extremely more confident and comfortable at the 2/5 level. The skill set from CLP improved my comfort level so much that I started to migrate to the 5/10 games.
Basecrdshp
For a recreational player like me, I found the site to be incredibly useful. The sheer amount of content and the way that it is organized makes the monthly subscription price an absolute steal for anyone that is serious about improving their game. CrushLivePoker is the only site that concentrates on the specific nuisances of live poker.
