ansky,

i would let him go to town on a few freeplay sites for a week or so before i started teaching him anything. either pokerpages, the freeplay on stars or ft work.

once that's happened, then you can teach him some basics. i dunno, i think it's easier to learn limit, but that kind of makes the transition to nl difficult, but you at least learn the basics. i do think limit cash --> nl cash is actually easier than limit cash --> nl tournament, but i may be wrong there.

i've had some experience advising some of my friends who are just catching the bug. in some ways it's actually a lot of fun to watch them get better. in other ways it's mindbogglingly annoying, because there's really not much worse than sweating someone at 25nl.
