$$Coach Me$$ Big Proposition Here.

thats some big goals right there

I know, but i am motivated, and it's something to aim for, i know many will think i will fail, but with a good coach, and all the dedication im putting into it, i want to believe i can do it

If you're only winning at .35pt/bb playing two million hands and grinding a ton is the least of your worries.

It wouldn't be worth it for anyone to coach you for 10% of that action.

Invest in one of the cheaper coaching sites and solicit advice from LP players by posting hands.

thanks Brett :D sorry i never got lessons with you, just didnt have the money at the time, and some weird shit was going on in my life

Its good that you're that motivated, keep that spirit up you're gonna need it aiming that high! Glgl

drop down to 12 tables

i think you'll be pleasantly surprised at your winrate. as you move up, drop down to 8 tables, then go up to 12, then to 16 as you get better

ramming 24 tables down yourself and just "grinding" rather than focusing on "getting good" is going to have you peak really really fast as your game stagnates

I've tried this, and i see my winrate increase somewhat, but i am so bored if im not playing 24 tables that i cant bring myself to play more than like an hour. 24 Tables is ALMOST too slow for me, i think i have like ADD or something. If i played 4-12 tables i usually get bored and just log off.

I figure i can learn as i go, get a nice solid foundation with some good coaching.. grinding out a shitload of hands, getting my bonuses, building a good strong bankroll off solid poker. Then once i have a good bankroll after about a year i can really sit down, and really perfect my game, if that makes sense. Less stress learning advanced NLHE strategy when i have a big bankroll to sit on.

Will the coaching deal include 10% of your rakeback too?

Yes Lemon, 10% of ALL PROFITS, including rakeback/bonuses

yea cut down on ur tables if u dont have the patience to get better then the game is not suitable for you

If anyone is interested please send me a PM, with WHY i should choose you as a coach, ive received 2 pm's already, im gonna check back in an hour or so and see who i want to go with, thanks everyone for your support/advice. Be back in a bit

wait longer than an hour to decide on your coach, wait till at least your blog gets bumped.

pm joeingram1 imo

I'm tempted to take you up on this, but I don't have the time right now.

If you're still coach-less by next month, pm me.

i'd be willing but 10% is a little small, if you feel like discussing pm me aim or msn sn.

(edit) i guess credentials:

been a decent winner through small stakes and a long time ago was a decent winner at NL600-NL1k. you can check my ptr and i can share my HEM graph to show how ridiculous my recent downswing has been.

coached a couple people, the only one here is Fox and he can tell you some of how i did as a coach

actually, im pretty eager to do this, hit me up!

got a few pm's, gonna pm a few of you all, im gonna do my research and talk to you all before i make a decision, if you dont hear from me really soon, please pm me and remind me. gonna try and make sure i talk to everyone who is interested

gonna hold on the "you play too many tables" shtick for now.

respect for putting yourself out there like this and defining some worthwhile long term goals. I've been thinking of doing something exactly like this but to move up into highstakes.

Right now, I don't really have the free time to take on a long-term, high volume student so I just thought I'd wish you good luck.
If you ever need an affordable hourly coach, gimmie a shout.

PM me for msn/skype if you want random hand advice and stuff. I'd be interested in seeing where you're at 6 months from now.

your motivation here has inspired me to play more. thanks, and gl

Well guys, i have decided on choosing KeanuReaver as my coach, me and him have talked a few hours, and i really feel like we are gonna do some great things together. I thank everyone for their support and advice, even their criticisms, and im glad i inspired a few people I am gonna prepare for everything over the next few weeks, get some sweat sessions in, get a little bigger bankroll, get in the zone and all that jazz... then as the ball drops on december 31st my quest will begin! I will keep everyone posted with how im doing!

If anyone wants to discuss hands, sweat eachother, just bullshit around and keep eachother company over long sessions, talk shit, whatever... send me a pm. or just add me on msn... matrix9909@hotmail.com
i also have skype/ventrilo/ts whatever.. hit me up

oh and brett thanks for making me be patient and wait for a coach i really clicked with, i am very optimistic

Looking forward to seeing your progress, best of luck mate!

looks cool, I'm gonna try my hardest in poker as well.
