[Tupacia]

Does anyone else see a mentoree 2+2 game in the near future, with the mentors all making prop bets on their proteges...? /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Ness]

Oh man, I would love this.

[Dan Bitel]

Are there any Mentors still looking for mentorees? I currently 6 Table 50NL and would really like someone to be able to learn from.

I am extremely serious about Poker, and after I finish this semester of school at the end of the month I have four months that I plan to dedicate completely to poker.

I've recently taken on a mentee and just let me say that my mentee could kick all of your mentee's asses.

I'm looking for a mentor.

[xcrack999]

my mentee would kick all your mentees' and your asses. (in bed)

[matrix]

I have no mentee /images/graemlins/frown.gif - this is probably a good thing as I don't think my game is good enough yet in any case.

When I get one look out /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[vulturesrow]

Hmm I dont think I have time for a mentoree but its hard to not join in all the trash talking.

"If I had a mentoree he crush all your mentorees!" Haha!

[jii]

I have no mentor - this is probably a good thing since I haven't shown any progress during the months I've played.

When I get one look after him.

[4_2_it]

I usually only mentor hot chicks.

However, I may make an exception if we are going to have prop bets..........

[djoyce003]

if anyone is interested I can mentor 1 person...I don't have a ton of time to devote to it but I'd be happy help.

[EMc]

We need a prop bet challenge. Now.

Hey, I don't know about this whole mentor thing. I wouldn't mind having one, but if any one wants to just share some advice through AIM and just discuss strategy, hit me up with a PM.

Hey n00b:

Instead of bumping a 2-month old thread asking for someone to pm you, why don't you just pm him yourself?

N00bs are starting alot of lame threads today and doing dumb things like this. I may have to go back into draconian mode. /images/graemlins/mad.gif

AJ - when do we start our lessons?

you promised you'd teach me to run goot.

[ajmargarine]

beavens:

I'm currently taking some summer school classes, so am unable to help you at the moment. My summer curriculum and teachers:

--Pokey and his "But, I had a read" course.
--Ness and his "Play bad, catch up on the river" course.
--Isura and his course on "Maintaining your dignity while being weak/tight" /images/graemlins/smile.gif
--dbitel and his course on "running hot over an obscene # of hands" /images/graemlins/cool.gif

Maybe I'll be able to help you in the fall. Although I hear Yad and tera flop will be teaching an advanced NIT seminar around that time, so my plate might be full.

--aj

[beavens]

is there a course on "Tilting from running bad then playing online BJ trying to recover some of your roll, building it up, then losing it all"?

If anyone wants to discuss poker, strategy, life, etc you can get me on aim @ 'davesphs02' It is hard to find a good 'serious' poker conversation.

[AZplaya]

Myself and Jam will be teaching a course this summer: "How to ensure you never move up."

My section will cover:
"Using your roll for car repairs"
"How to drop 6 buyin's in 3K hands"
"Why STT's are -EV"

Jam will cover
"Tilting is bad at 10/20"

Starts in 2 weeks, sign up now!!!

[beavens]

if you need a TA for the 'How To Never Move Up' series, just let me know.

[lorez]

Sorry I know this is an old thread and all, but what is the difference between mentoring and the session review group? Also, what does it entail and does anyone want to help an old sap who can't help getting a bit to agro for his own good?

[vabogee]

My mentoree is hellbent on world domination:

Just try to get a read on him, I dare you.

[JetsetterMike2]

K, I gotta get down on this thread too....I'd definitely like a mentor as well....you can catch me on AIM as HighFlyer2003 or on MSN messanger with jetsettermike22@hotmail.com....If anyone wants to talk poker, travelling, world domination...stuff like that feel free to hit me up...I need friends /images/graemlins/smile.gif...at least with common interests that I have

[Slap My Jack]

I need a mentoree, and I am also a beautiful hot single chick. /images/graemlins/blush.gif /images/graemlins/wink.gif /images/graemlins/wink.gif

[Maulik]

AZplaya,

Cover 5+ tabling is bad, too.

[cowboy.up]

I could use a mentor.

SlapMyJack - although I am not a hot chick, i'm willing to let you borrow my girlfriend, or dog - if you're into that kind of sick stuff (goodluck with that threesome).

Edit* - yeah I definately read your post wrong, thought you said you could use a single chick, my bad! /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[DWarrior]

w00t, I don't have to start a new thread for this.

Are there any regulars here willing to review 1 or 2 thousand hands? It'll just be a few sessions, no filtering.

I'm really looking for a mentor to point out the stupid leaks in my game that occur over and over that I'm not even seing.

Please PM with your price. I hope this isn't too ridiculous to ask.

Is this mostly folding or are these hands played through?

[Dan Bitel]

dwarrior,

ive got some time on my hands, so ill do it if you like.

I got no idea how long it would take though, but I'm guessing it would be pretty tedious.

PM me on how much you think a fair price is and how I view the hands!

[DWarrior]

Folded, I want to know what I'm doing wrong and folding is definitely part of it.

[los_toros]

DWarrior, I'm not sure if you trust my judgement but I'd be willing to take a chunk and review them.

[Acehawk74]

I, too would like something like what DWarrior is suggesting. I would like to get a price for this if anyone is interested. No hijack intended DW, just wanting some help in this regard as well.

[waxie]

<--- Would like a mentor. Yes, I know I just posted about losing $250, but I am a winning player at limit. I wanna learn NL!

[los_toros]

I feel like I'm well read and I'm a winning player over SSNL at Party and FullTilt ... so if anyone wants to talk it up PM me or lurk and wait for me on AIM (see profile).

[ajmargarine]

I'm posting this as an FYI on common rates and hand #'s and time investment:

I've reviewed some NL50 players' sessions in the past. I charged one buy-in which seemed fair to me and the reviewees. This was for up to 300 hands. IMO, you could add a few hands for that price, maybe 50 more. A decent reviewer will take at least 3-4 hours to help the mentoree. A few hours in the initial review, followed by some Q&A back and forth afterwards. 1-2K hands is alot. And, importing the hh's into PT and watching them in the reviewer is the easiest way, imo, to review.

[Grunch]

I'll just add this, perspecive from the other side.

I've gotten coaching several times, and I have never sent more than 300 hands. I think 300 is enough. Find some problems, fix them, maybe send more hands (for another payment, of course). Iterate through this process until you are twice the poker player you used to be.

[avfletch]

AJ and Grunch.

Are you referring to a block of 300 hands as played or 300 hands as chosen by the mentee?

[Grunch]

300 as played. Usually includes ~200 folds. The folds are good for criticism too. You can see where you're missing value, and I think the hands you fold speak directly to your attitude toward the game overall. JMO

[los_toros]

Thanks for the thoughts AJ/Grunch ... extremely well worded.

[ajmargarine]

[/ QUOTE ]

Agreed. Although most of the folds are real standard and boring, some are missed opportunities.

And, I got 2 pm's about replaying hands in PT. So, for all:

Just highlight a session in PT in "session notes". Go to "game notes". Click on the header "Game #". This will make the hands come up in order as they are inverted as the default. Click on the first hand. It'll come up as text, then there is a playback this hand button, hit that. Upper left hand corner in the playback area there are arrows to go on to the next hand and that'll replay the session for you as you go on.

[FlawedChip]

I am interested in finding a mentor as well. I currently play $25NL full ring, and will take a shot at $50NL full ring soon. I am also interested in learning how to play 6 max. Please send me a PM if you have any interest in being my mentor.

Thank you.

[pokerchap]

that would be sweet to have a mentor

[beavens]

if anyone wants to talk poker via email, i am forever checking it at work.

PM me for the address.

[bxb]

I don't exactly understand how this mentoring thang works. Like does the mentor get money? Does the protege actually have to be good to start out with? Does the protege actually learn that much faster than they would on their own?

I'm a winning player at 50 NL full ring right now and I am interested in getting a mentor. PM me if you are interested and have credentials.

[Jamougha]

If anyone is interested I will try the 300-hands for one buy in thing. No long term relationships though. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I just have issues with commitment...

[limit refugee]

After 15,000 hands, I've clobbered 25NL for an almost average amount, mainly through a combination of seat selection and vaguely mediocre play.

But I will mentor anyone on anything besides poker. Free.

i cant believe in 74 posts no one has brough up that mentoree isn't a word, it's mentee! read The Odyssey!

Homer hasn't posted in SSNL or else he would have used mentoree.

[kidpokeher]

Just curious, what qualifies one as mentor material? Yeah, I know, being a winning player is good, but how much and for how long?

[furyshade]

Homer created the word Mentor, so i assume he would use correct spelling
