Default Re: I will mentor you for free

Great idea. Some real quality posters have posted in this thread. The community could work really well if you take a few people to mentor, and then get them to mentor a few other people who play slightly lower stakes.

1. How you are currently improving your game
- I've been reading 2+2 avidly for 1.5 years
- Watching cardrunners vids

2. Your poker goals.
- Play 3/6+
- Professional poker player

3. Your current stakes and past earnings
-NL400 6-max (have had to drop down from NL600-1000 after a downswing). Also learning PLO at lower stakes.
-About $50,000 in the last 1.5 years
-I generally play 20K hands a month

4. A few examples of good strategy posts you have made.
I haven't made any big strategy posts but generally post a few lines of hand analysis on interesting hands in SSNL. I just kinda picked an two examples at random below.
hand
hand2

5. A little about yourself.
I'm 32, from Ireland, worked as an engineer for 10 years (with breaks for a few round the world trips), gave up fulltime work this year, planned on playing poker fulltime but have ended up doing lucrative but boring contracting work most of the time but may be back playing poker fulltime soon enough (fingers crossed). I'm also halfway through a novel so want to use the spare time that playing poker provides to work on that.
Not sure if I'd be much help on a site but I have some programming experience.
