Well at this point in time, poker has been pretty average to me. Not really screwing and not really going on a huge burn so i thought what better to do than to educate two of my friends.

I've previously taught both my dad and pokerdoc, although the credit or discredit that pokerdoc brings should also be shared with karma who was also responsible for this crime upon the poker community. Did the occasional attempt at trying to educate some people who seemed interested in the game/money but generally gave up upon realising,
a) they had down syndrome

b) they were impatient or tilt monkeys.

c) they lost their bankrolls at 10nl,

Anyway, so these guys i'm teaching have potential and have played poker before, so i won't be needing to waste my time explaining hand rankings and the game of poker.
Instead mostly focusing on teaching them ABC poker, fundamentals which hopefully they will be able to expand from.
Oh and thanks goes to Grot for writing that beginners guide, saved me a lot of effort.

On another note i'll soon be starting up my live bankroll at the casino in Melbourne so that should be interesting. Since uni starts on Monday what i'll probably do is go on Friday nights and Saturday nights depending how much homework i have.
I'll be mainly playing the 0.50/1 NL game buy in 50 dollars with a 1k roll and then moving up to the 1/2 game buyin 100 dollars when i hit 2k-2.5k depending on how i feel.
At the moment i'm estimating an hourly rate of 20 dollars, the game is soft so yeah i'll keep updating on my progress.

OH and yes i just have to say, i got a bigger fish tank

Its a standard 4 foot tank, and looks to be a lot of fun setting up!!! woot!

Thats how the game is set at crown, yeah i know it sucks thats the max buy in for the games mentioned above, but the games soft enough so i'll still play.
Oh and i'll also be playing at the electronic tables, since they have better BB to buy in ratio's at this point in time as well as faster hands. Look at karma's blog for a review of these tables.

So alan, which category do I fit in for A B or C?

If you say "D: All of the above" I'll have to administer a swift kick to your balls.
