I picked up the 5 hour deal and have had 3 sessions with alien slayer by now and I have been very happy with the decision. Like dowg I used to be a MTT reg, been dabbling with PLO on and off over the years but last year started focusing more seriously on PLO with the goal of transitioning. However I've struggled quite a bit at low stakes, making slow progress but hovering just around break-even ev-adjusted while running massively under ev. The sessions with Alien Slayer have definitely accelerated the learning process and helped me put the pieces together.
We started with reviewing a session I recorded, and after that we've been going through trouble hands and areas of my choice. While my game and stats seemed somewhat solid at first, we found couple of common leak spots where I had a tendency to spew. On the other hand I have also gained confidence by reinforcing the things I was already doing well but was doubtful of because of run-bad.
I feel alien slayer has a very clear and logical way of explaining things and just listening to him go trough my hands has made me recognize where my thought process was lacking, for example not taking SPR into consideration enough, etc. Also he's been quite flexible and cool with scheduling of the sessions and answering messages.
I would be pretty surprised if this doesn't turn out to be a good investment. Will definitely consider booking additional sessions if I do manage to move up stakes.
