Coaching warning PLEASE READ

shat4brains · #1 07-01-2007, 09:31 PM

okay i had a horrible expierience my first time trying to get coaching for STTs. This guy altered our deal into him expecting me to pay double of what we aggreed on. This person said that if im not going to pay him he would contact several people about how i didnt pay him( which i did pay him the amount we agreed on) and for the sake of my reputation a felt the need to post this and also to warn others about this guy. he sent me an IM saying that he would contact: "suzzer pawndering bones bluefeet chipchucker little john ryanghall ect and let them know what has transpired"
this guy sent me a pm on here and i honestly think that he is trying to scam people. He tryed to trick me into believing that i owed him more than double what we agreed to. Because of this i feel obligated to inform other people about this guy just for the sake of my reputation and to prevent it from happening again.
his 2+2 name is mariogs379, and i strongly urge you to decline any coaching opportunitys he offers. The whole experience was aweful and it ended up with an argument about how he was going to tell all the higher stakes STTers about how i didnt pay him, but this is rediculas and i didnt agree to it, he tryed to twist the deal into me paying him alot of money that i never agreed to so i apoligise if i posted this in the wrong place but please dont delete this because i think it needs to be read.

You took coaching off a stranger from teh internet and didn't get a written agreement about what it would cost you?

I don't know what happened, don't know either of you, but I'd say you learnt a pretty valuable lesson right there.

definatly, pretty stupid of me i guess. Now that i think about it the guy also tryed to do a trade with me and tried to get me to send a very large amount of money first and after i said no he never mentioned it again.

Why would you take coaching from this guy anyways? He isn't a respected poster or a very strong higher stakes player(He plays 24s IIRC), and there are many people who would be happy to go over a few HHs for you for free. Check out the #STT chat on IRC and there are usually a couple guys in there who will look at hands for you.

Google mIRC and download the client. When you select a server to join, use dalnet. Then a box should pop up asking what room you want to join and at that point you just type #stt and click join.
