Default Poker Course

Dear MTT,
(Please move this if it should be moved)

I am teaching two classes of Tournament Texas Hold 'Em at CMU this upcoming semester. I plan to teach out of the three HOH books. I will reccomend they get on 2p2, so there may be an influx of up to 60 CMU poker noobs coming here. I would like to use this thread to take suggestions for the course, and answer any questions anyone may have, and of course have a discussion.

-Ben

Why couldn't this course have been offered while I was an undergrad? This woulda been way better than that Child Psych and Intro to Relgion crap I took to fill out my elective credits my senior year.

unfortunately this was only started last year by Nuveen Marwah, if you know him.

Are you still in the area/would you like to be a guest speaker sometime?
