Taking Students ??

soo original and creative

Moving cities to learn online poker seems a little 2 much for me

If you dont trust people who you coach, dont take students. Also it's pretty simple to make yourself pretty safe, just make sure the site they play on is trakcked on PTR and put a minimum volume they have to play each month under some kind of a $ penalty.

sounds like a pretty big commitment for the students. Gl with your coaching business wobb.

Move to a smelly ass continent to learn da pokerz? Ty but no ty.

What are your credentials as a poker coach?
What teaching and motivational experience have you got?


You should provide more details, this is just a poor proposition really.

well obviously if they are in australia all the better. and PTR doesnt track all results.

atm im just thinking about taking students, so doing a sort of survey.

I've coached 3 people, their ids are babs1337, kiwikaki and a reallife friend who only plays 50nl.

Non poker teaching experiences lets see, I was both a primary and highschool tutor and also a Sydney University TA for 2 years teaching Software development.

When I think details through I will obviously make a clearer post. I think i will be able to offer a guarantee something like 75k poker profit for the first year.

Do that and details of how your programme would work, and ditch the relocation requirement.

And guarantee of profits is BS btw, just look at WhiteHEadSyd from DeucesCracked, the bastard had 2 years worth of regular mentoring and coaching from one of the best coaches around and he is still a breakeven spazztard...

fwiw hes from sydney so maybe wobbly should coach him too

Dont know who Whiteheadsyd is or w/e but I believe in my abilities so I will offer some sort of money back guarantee.

75k guaranteed sounds good, if they dont hit that tho you have to pay from your own pocket, but that shouldnt be a problem if you have faith in your abilities.

yup sounds right. i was thinking of 50k tho.

wobbly why do you want to kill our games?

obv one of the rules will be not allowd to play stars =D

not worth the risk

how long does the profit sharing usually last when its payment for coaching?

If I wasn't basicly on the opposite end of the planet I'd probably snap this
