Default Re: I will mentor you for free

1. I've always been a STT player, but after getting tired of seeing good regs at the $6 level, I decided it was time to switch to cash. So I've been reading a lot on 2+2 trying to familiarize myself with 6-max. That said, I realize that the best way to familiarize myself with the game is to play, so I'm trying to set aside time each week for me to "work" and put in reasonable sessions and to think and talk about hands.

2. I'd like to be able to grind NL200 and NL400 6-max, ideally becoming one of the best at those limits once I get some experience. I'm also currently living in London and there are some super soft live games that I'd like to become rolled for.

3. I play NL100 HU on Full Tilt and NL25 and NL50 6-max on Party. I'm up ~$25k lifetime, though probably <$2k has been from cash, with $12k coming from a WPT cash when I was 18(the stars aligned).

4. I just went through my posting history, and most of my strategy posts are in the STT forum where more than one line of strategy is usually unnecessary. I mostly read small stakes but post in STT; working on it as you can see from my recent posts. I think most of my posts in SMP are good though!

5. I'm 20 and an econ major/theology minor at Georgetown University. I'm currently in London for my junior year abroad at the London School of Economics. I spent the summer in Thailand trying to get away from poker, but I've realized that the problem was my attitude and approach toward poker rather than the game itself. Having help from someone who has grinded pretty big games for 4 years will be huge, not just in terms of helping me develop a good 6-max skill set, but also in gaining confidence and learning how to sit down, play a lot (32 hours/week!), and always play my best.
