Shock as StoxTrader Resigns as StoxPoker Coach

StoxPoker Instructional Videos

Poker Training Videos site StoxPoker was hit by a shocking revelation as today their lead instructor and the man the site is named after walked out. The resignation followed intense speculation about his role in multiaccounting on Full Tilt Poker and PokerStars.

It is with a heavy heart that I must announce my resignation as a stoxpoker coach today. I have put the company in a difficult position given the recent negative publicity surrounding my breaking poker sites terms of service, and refusal to publicly explain my January 2010 account switch. It is true that I had multiple accounts...

StoxTrader explained in what we assume will be his last announcement as a lead instructor at StoxPoker.

This follows the largely shocking Jason Ho Scandal where the vetting process for coaches on the site was found lacking. He eventually was dismissed by the company.

The roster is now significanly depleted by the departure of a number of their lead instructors to Drag The Bar including Hunter "BeachJustice" Bick, Dusty "Leatherass" Shmidt and many more.

Worryingly for management a number of the coaches prefer to publically hide their results and Ed Miller one of the sites owners and leading author for Two Plus Two Publishing continues to insist winrate isn't his main motivation in poker. Whilst that may be true some assurance from it's coaches that some of them are winning is becoming more and more important to members as the house of cards that was the online poker training business Stoxpoker crumbles in front of us.

...what success means to me, personally, as a poker player ... I'll tell you what it isn't. It isn't a winrate.

Miller mused on his latest Blog for Stox and in his article for CardPlayer magazine.
