This look sick and I LOVE your funnel - Quickly show how it works, register and then sell. Def. will check this out!

Thank you! It seems to be working -- our conversion rate from homepage to registration is about 10% (although it's very early, and I'm basing this off a few hundred uniques). Still hoping to hit the HN homepage :-)

I’ve been waiting to learn Poker for some years. I’ve no reason to didn’t start right now with this!

We'll have more beginner courses as well in the future, although the Counting Outs course (the first one) shouldn't be too hard. Let us know what you think! Thanks

I felt hornswaggled when I finished the first one and saw that the next one costed $4.99. I had just signed up too. When I clicked to try it I did so because it clearly stated "You can only get better, and it's free." However this was a flat lie. I looked for a way to delete my account but could not find one. I felt deceived.

I just checked back at the site without logging in and it even says "Save your progress to unlock" for the next modules. "Save your progress" is a euphemism for "sign up" and then when you do that it doesn't actually unlock. $4.99 unlocks the module. Wow.

Hi jrode,

Sorry that the site left a bad impression on you. We were trying to get across that "it's free" applied to the fact that "trying it" (the main action) was free. We'll make this clearer.

By the way, we will have more free courses (there are two which are completely free right now). It's just a matter of time.

Sorry also about not having a way to delete your account -- it was an oversight, and it will be corrected.

Finally, you're right that the "Save your progress to unlock" copy is, in fact, incorrect. We'll make sure to get it right.

Thank you for your feedback!

Hey, thanks. I really liked the site by the way, it is very nicely done. I also understand why you would charge for the modules, and you should. Just thought it could be more clear. Again, thanks for responding.
