Only topic I would like to see that hasn't really been mentioned is putting an aggressive opponent on a range late in a tourney to make the Call-shove/fold decision. is this even necessary as effective stacks might take over the decision more than the style/quality/craziness of the player.
I would be interested but appears as though you have more then enough for a skype session. Too many people on skype all responding at once would be alot. If broken into smaller groups of 6 let me know.
yea def PVV, I'll probably cap it at a certain number and have 2 sessions if necessary, I'm sure whatever day/time I choose won't be convenient for everyone
In. Many ahead of me but replying to show serious interest.
Possible topic: Don't get short.
Hmm, like talk about how to keep chipping up and not get short ever? Getting short is kind of a part of tournaments, short-stack is probably one of my biggest strengths, but it's def important to keep chipping up and aim to build deeper stacks late in tournaments to absorb lost flips/races/beats/etc.
OK so here's a list of the people interested so far, a bit more than I expected :S (question marks indicate I think they're interested but they didn't say explicitly):
So yea, looks like I'll def be doing at least a couple groups. What do people think is a good max number? Maybe no more than 10? Or is that even too many?
Looks like numbers are good. Now we need some definite topics, so keep the ideas coming and maybe I'll try to put some similar topics together and see what I think is a) broad enough to do an entire seminar on, and b) specific enough to fit into 1 seminar.

I'm just play steaming. I think my short stack play is strong, would like to see a seminar on your short stack play to confirm. Feeling like I'm not chipping up enough often enough. Can't win like this.

Def, I mean if I can get this all working smoothly I'll definitely be doing more seminars in the future, certainly at least one focused on short-stack play/turbo's since I've spent so much time on it. If that seems like the topic that most people are interested in then I'll do this one on that, we'll just have to see.
I don't have/want a webcam. And looking at the Skype website you need premium for group video chat anyway, so I'm thinking this will be by instant messenger, or what?
Or can any number of people watch a single video feed? Not sure how it's going to work.
I've never used Skype either, but I'm interested. What about the topic of light 3-betting (and 4-betting) in MTTs, e.g., when to polarize, specific stack sizes?

There wouldn't be a video chat with webcams and such. I'm thinking the format would be a screen-share of my screen with a replayer or slideshow or whatever visuals. I'd be addressing specific questions posed in chat (I'll be talking on audio, questions will be in text chat) as I go through the structured material, then at the end I'll have like a discussion period (perhaps with audio from students) for more general stuff about the material and such.
Like I said though, I've never done this before so I'm open to other people's suggestions/ideas for how I should run it as well.

Definitely. That would be tied into the late game. My idea for an FT bubble seminar involves a hand history with few light 4-betting/light 3-betting spots vs. different stack sizes. I think it's definitely in line with what you'd be interested in.
Vekked you should look into ustream or something like it. That way as many of us can watch.
I am just not sure on the chat features
Yep, I'm looking into a few different pieces of software to aid with the visual aspect. But yea you guys won't be seeing me or my dungeon of a room during the seminar, it'll be a screen-share format.

Don't worry no webcam will be used on either end. I'll be sharing my screen so you can see what's on it, and talking over audio, that's it. Skype is just like any messenger type program, it's not tooo difficult to use, just try downloading it and play with it a bit or something.
I have used GoToMeeting before at work, when I needed help with a new program. Their support team just sent me a link and it brought me into the meeting right away. Pretty handy, and it cost me nothing, nor do I recall having to sign up.

tinychat is simple....you can turn video on and off share a whiteboard...screen capture..has chat like skype....and you can sign in with facebook account or twitter or just a guest screenname....

Just giving mad props and credit to vekked for doing this and his long informative posts and trying to help people unlike some other individuals on this forum and 98% of "online pros".:)

Not free, but it works.

<<< either way sounds like you will need a test student.....???
but easy and seems to do the job....
nope, not for the host. But that was determined a few posts earlier :laugh:
It was def free for me to follow the link, join the meeting, and leave....They viewed my screen while I showed them the issues I was having.
Either way, seems there are enough options that are completely free...
