Default Re: I will mentor you for free

1. How you are currently improving your game

I discuss hands regularly on an Irish poker forum. I'm a cardrunners member, just finished reading PNL recently and I'm almost finished Mathematics of Poker. I have a group of friends I discuss poker with over MSN. I recently started coaching with Slider, my broadband wasn't able to handle running all the programs without lagging a lot so I've ordered a much better broadband package and hope to continue getting coaching. I have skype/aimpro/msn and a headset.

2. Your poker goals.

I want to be bankrolled to play 1-2 live and learn how to play FR as well as 6max before next summer. Exchange rates aren't helping though [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]. I want to regain the confidence I had before my downswing. I want to expand my game and take it beyond the robotic style I too often fall into.

3. Your current stakes and past earnings

I'm currently playing 50nl on an $1800 bankroll and plan to move back up to 100nl in December. I had a bankroll of $3500 during the Summer but working nights caused me to play tired and forced me back down to 50nl before I worked out what was causing my problem. I only play on weekends now and study the game as much as possible during the week. I don't cash out too often but I'd estimate I've taken out about $600-$700 since I started playing cash exclusively last February.

I don't have access to PT at the moment so I'm not sure how many hours I've played or how much I've made in the last 5 months. I wouldn't be a high volume player though.

4. A few examples of good strategy posts you have made.

As I mentioned I post regularly on another poker forum, here's some posts I've made in the last month:

5. A little about yourself.

I'm 21 and in my 3rd year of a Financial Maths degree. I take a very mathematical approach to the game because of this. I'm the Auditor of my college's poker society and plan to run poker classes in December. I try to help out new players as much as possible since FutureDoc85 offered to help me out when I was getting started in cash games and was really, really helpful.

If you're capable and willing to run the site and videos include that in your reply

It wouldn't be too much trouble to set up a free forum. You could also have it as a private forum, that's just for people who you want to see it, if you were worried about privacy. Videos would have to be uploaded on seperate sites (like megaupload) though. There's probably people far more capable of setting this up, I'd be willing to set it up but I'm unlikely to have time to run/moderate it.
