I can't offer “free coaching" as in my universe that’s morally wrong to do so (no offense benlj21, just a different world for me) [/ QUOTE ] What color is the sky in this world?

I wish more people would be immoral.

[/ QUOTE ] No I think you are taking my comments out of context. I'd be willing to do a HH's exchange with a newbie and I've use to direct a lot of chess tourneys for free, as a way of paying back the debt for those that helped me along. Same concept I'd be willing to do for poker and offer something for free to repay the "debt".. But I've paid for a fair amount of coaching over time and to pass on what I've paid to learn in a situation where I'd be working closely with someone and do this for free, is not something that I have the time for right now, nor in this case do I think is right... And I'm not taking really money, more just a token amount... For example if I've paid $100 to have 10 HH's reviewed by a top pro, let's say I'd be looking for like $15 or $20 to review 10 HH's for someone starting out. I don't think that's unreasonable, we are not taking about answering a question or reviewing a hand or two, it take a fair amount of time and effort to go over 10 HH's....

Re: Free coaching
Did not mean to steal you thread but you mentioned that you got lots of PM's and would be getting back to people. You infered that you had enough replies and now was going to make "cuts" and get back to folks with PM's.. that would sort of imply you are done with the thread
>difference between lottery and poker One is work, you are paid for your skill and time, the other is trying to get something for nothing... Pretty simple.... >last 8 posts You have problems couting outs too? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
