You only need $18k to play 600NL? [censored], make it 1000NL then.

InveraryHick (3:23:33 PM): one thing u didn't mention much in the thread...what is the extent of the coaching?


Good point. The coaching will initially consist of a 20-25 minute converstation to build some confidence and so i can give you the basic strategy to beat the games. From there, i will sweat you for 20-30 minutes, while you 2-4 table. We will discuss all/any hands you have trouble with.

I will always be available on AIM. Every time you have a hand that you think could have been played differently, copy it into a notepad and send it to me at the end of the session.

I do this with a lot of players now, such as schwza, devinlake, eagles, inyaface, soon2b, and MANY others. It is probably the single best way to improve your game. IMO, i think it has helped me more than playing 200k hands of poker. The discussions in themselves are priceless.

I guess people who can only 4 table are out?

I guess I could minimize the tables at Poker Stars and get 6 on there.

I would prefer someone who can 6 table because the hands will add up quicker and get you off on your own roll in a more timely matter.

My roommate 6tables on one monitor and never has any problem. It should be doable.

Pretty cool offer.

I'm pretty sure I'm not what you're looking for since I have probably 50-60k hands at NL200/400 but since I'm not beating NL400 for much at the moment (small sample, 30kish hands so who really knows how I'm doing) I'll toss this out there anyway...

1. 23 years old

2a. 9 and 2 man SNGs, maybe 3kish total, up to $60s consistently
2b. MTTs, not many
2c. Fixed limit HE and PLO, maybe 2k hands total up to 3/6 and PL100 respectively
2d. NLHE ring, probably 100-150k hands up to NL400

3. 8-tabling 6max (I'd prefer to not play more than 6, but ok I could probably handle 8 if I had to).

4. I have about $6k online at the moment with access to more offline if needed for some reason.

5. I wouldn't need a stake, but I would still split profits up to a percentage. Basically I'd be looking for someone to help me plug leaks and also someone to talk theory with about various situations beyond beginner's level.


I know it's probably not exactly what you're looking for, but I figured what the hell. And fwiw, several guys could vouch for me being trustworthy including Futuredoc.


edit - Assuming you're looking for a different kind of student, I'd love to add you on AIM to talk theory with or discuss hands. You can shoot me a PM if you want, or if you hate me deep down inside and I don't get a PM I won't be mad. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]


edit 2 - to preempt people saying "6k is not sufficient for NL400", I know. I'm playing much lower at the moment while I work on some ideas / rebuild from a recent, large downswing.

- Age: 29

- Experience at all forms of poker:
I started out with 1/2 Limit HE and after breaking even for 2 months I gave it up. Then I started playing SNGs at party poker and after breaking even for 2 months I gave that up. Break for 2 months where I did a lot of reading on 2+2. Moved to a softer site and seem to be doing quite well so far. December I moved up to a mix of $11 and $15 which I 8-table.

- Most tables you can see yourself playing:
To start with no more than 4.

- Current bankroll:
$2000ish

- What you expect to get out of this arrangement:
Learning as much as possible and make you proud [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]


I cant think of anyone who would vouch for me though since I dont really know any 2+2 from real life.

-Age 19
-Experience at all forms of poker:
I’ve been playing for maybe 2 year online, built up my roll from jetset freerolls and have played around 3k SNGs from 2.75 to 33s and 27t’s. Up to 8 tabling 27s, but rite now in 8 tabling 16s after the party switch.
Last month I tried 10k hands of 100NL with very limited success
I’ve played some MTTs but nothing exciting happened, probably made a little in them.
-Most tables you can see yourself playing
I have played up to 8, I haven’t played more than 4 cash tables at once, but I don’t see it being much of a problem. I don’t know if could play much more than 8 because I haven’t tried, but I would be willing to.

-Current bankroll
Around 2k

- What you expect to get out of this arrangement:
Learn a lot about poker; actually learn how to play cash games well, and hopefully get up to some good mid stakes NL in the future.

I know pretty much all of the Toronto guys so they can all vouch for me (eagles, Pudge, BigT, Inyaface)

I’m just wondering how much time per week you would expect this protégée to play and commit to this project

Good question:

I would like for him to finish the 35k hands in or around a month's time. Obviously the more tables you play, the quicker it will come, but i dont want this to become a race against the clock.

The idea is to get better as a player, so i will not set a time limit on this. However, i expect whoever i pick to put the effort in and play a lot.

- Experience at all forms of poker: Former SNG donk who was probally the best $6.50 player on stars. I moved up to the $16's and was probally one of the if not the best player. TBH, never was interested in SNGPT so I was never that good. I took up cash about 3 months ago, grinded 100nl and 200nl for awhile made 25k and left to bigger and better things. Final tabled a few donkaments (even though I suck at tournaments),took a few vacations. Currently 4-6 tabling 2/4 and taking occasional shots @ higher stakes when table is right.
- Most tables you can see yourself playing: Probally 10 (I like surfing 2p2 and not paying attention to my games)
- Current bankroll: $36,450 (After all my cashouts)

Um...improve my pt/bb I dunno...

By the way I am friends with allen (AlReturnsLOL) on this forum. So I have good references! (vouch for me dude)
