They could allay fears by simply hiring gambler2K4 as an instructor.

Someone mentioned the difference between a poker school like this and people mentioning 2+2 in chat.
The difference to me goes something like this...
Bad player sees pokerstars school info- thinks "hmm... i can learn to play mtts in order to play more real money, cool."
Bad player sees morans chatting up their stats, sites, and berating them and thinks "this really isnt very fun, and apparently there are people who take this very seriously and I'm really not up to that. Secret Handshake [censored]."

In short, the more you mention 2+2 the more likely 1) you alienate players thru berating or intimidation 2) some will actively seek to improve and realize there are players taking it seriously and 3) others will view it as some secret handshake society of colluders.

At least the stars school will be in plain sight for anyone who wants to learn, without risking intimidating the fish off the tables.

Fish find safety in schools. LDO.

Edit: one last point. I would much rather have people think they are learning most or all of what there is to learn thru a site like Pokerstars instead of coming here and investing real time into becoming good at the game. How hard is this for people to see?
