Default Re: I will mentor you for free

I'm Interested.


1. I only started playing poker seriously at the start of this year but my game has already come leaps and bounds since then. I started of playing live at the casino down here, where I met a bunch of other poker junkies my age who I have since become good friends with and we constantly talk about poker and once a month run home games in which we analyze the hands that we play. I started taking online poker seriously about 3 months ago and that's when I joined 2p2 seriously. I have a fair few people on AIM from 2p2 that I constantly talk poker with in which we analyze hands and talk general strat/[censored] lol.

2. Goals in poker:
- Move up to 1/2 by feb next year and start making some decent money whilst at university.
- Become good at heads up cash games.

Then by mid-late nextyear be playign and crushing 2/4 on a regular basis.

3. I currently play 50NL and 100NL (depending on what mood im in), I also dabble in some 100NL H-U and have done quiet ok at it but my sample size is to small in the HU to determine whether I am a winning player at HU.

Anyway, I started 3 months ago at 25NL and beat it at about 9bb/100 over like 20k hands. Then I moved up to 50NL which is were I have been for the past two months, I'm currently beating it for 6bb/100 over a 60k sample size. This month I moved up to 100NL where I ran poor as [censored] for the first few sessions but have since found my own. Where I am at 5bb/100 over about 7k hands.

edit: I made 500 in my first month at 25NL, then in my second month I made 1k at 50NL along with a tournament score of 1.5k and some random PLO here and there which took my avg for the month to just under 3k. This month I am on track for 1.5k+.

This comes along with a solid winner at the 1/2 and 2/3 games at the casino , in which I have put up countless of hours. I also had some decent tournament scores there, pm if you want to see my hendon mob.

I play max 4 tables because I find I have good awareness of the players and if I play 6 tables I simply loose my edge. The first month of internet poker I played 20k hands, last month was 30k and this month I am on course for 30k+ probably somewhere around the 35k-40k mark. I am a player who much prefers to play short sessions say 3-4 300hand sessions in a day I find that way my concentration is better and I don't get impatient or frustrated.

4. I am a regular poster in the NLHE Micro section, posting and discussing hands, I try my best to make as many posts there as I can, I think my general hand discussion is good.

5. I am 20 year old Chemical Engineering student who took the last 6 months of university simply because I needed a break from it.I'll be back next year but in the first semester my course load will be fairly light. I also have skype/msn everything and am very capable with technology, so that will not be a problem. I also lived in Germany and France for a good portion of my life and love to play/watch football (soccer) and just generally spend time with my friends, oh and play da pocka.
