Instructor Profile

    Occupation:
Professional Poker Player

Games and proficiencies:

Limit Hold Em - up to 3/6 - played for my first 3 months of online play
after getting into poker

NL Hold Em - up to 5/10 - I usually play smaller limits online and 2/5 5/10
or 10/20 Live. I have played Live at the Bike twice now,
and have played many tournaments online and the WSOP live in Vegas. This is
clearly my best game and I like to take analysis into many levels of
thinking on and off the felt.

PL Omaha - up to 2/4- I seem to be a winning player after a decent amount of hands but I am not as proficient as a lot of players. I can teach the basics and some tricks, but not my specialty.

Pot limit Draw - up to 2/4 - I seem to make a good ROI at the mid stakes
Draw sngs and slowly rake in cash at the low stakes tables, it's a grind.

Limit 2-7 Triple Draw - up to 3/6 - I understand the game pretty well and
know what it takes to turn a profit and teach it. I'm no expert, but fairly
proficient.

About me:
Sometimes I think I need to call that gambling hotline and ask them if
I'm addicted even though I am making money at it. I am constantly thinking
about how to improve my game, and will often chat with friends about hands
and plays. My girlfriend gets annoyed with me when I start up a conversation about poker with people I don't even know. I bring poker magazines and books to class and usually don't even pay attention to the professors. I have always been a logical thinker, have a great memory, played lots of
computer games, and succeeded in math. I feel that all of these things are necessary with poker. I am by no means the best player and am constantly looking to improve my game. I can easily teach beginning to advance level strategy to any player, and get them on the quick track to being a solid winner.

Other info or suggestions for potential students

    I now ask all of my new students to take the donkey test at donkeytest.com and we will start our first session by reviewing the test results together. When you contact me, give me your email address to join my poker student's google group.
