I am doing the same thing with a friend of mine from Sweden. He is very smart and has a decent grasp of the game from a recreational point of view. He is broke now and his wife just left him but I really think his game is coming around. Ok, slight exaggeration but I will say this: it is a huge commitment if your friend wants to get good enough to make decent money and anything short of totally diving in face first will not cut it.
