Are you really planning to spend that much time with a student, meeting with him every single day? I wouldnt say you can guarantee a success btw, since some people just dont have the proper skills and IQ to understand more advanced concepts and move onto deeper thinking. Interesting, nontheless ;o

Well if the student doesn't work out, he can just lead them to the forest and run. With the huge number of poisonous, well everything, in Australia, it shouldn't take long for the person to be taken down, then gobbled up by some huge insect.

Seriously, Australia has way too many creepy animals

On a more serious note: if you want to do something like this I am unsure if you can draw local talent from sydney. I think with spring/summer coming up you may find people willing to relocate. Are you going to provide a stake and moving assistance (finding apt etc). What about guarantees in regards to coaching? What if your coaching fails and your student only maintains a winrate at what he used to win at before coaching? Shouldn't you have guarantees where you take a graduated scale of profit based on success? For example, if win rate stays same your cut = 0%.

Sounds like a fun time for someone actually if you lay out all the particulars esp considering that Sydney is hitting spring/summer soon.

Yeah, you chose a pretty bad time to ask Americans at least. College has just started up again over the past 3 weeks across the country

housing will be provided for only need 50$ br so im sure anyone can just put their own money up. Obviously bigger starting roll the better.

If they dont make anymoney I give them 50k. If they make 40k i give them 10k. etc

I'm pretty interested, but I'm a graduate student and would only be able to dedicate summer months. Would you accept a shortened summer plan to acquaint ourselves and if I'm trustworthy, extend it to a long-distance plan (where it continues even though I'm back in the US)?

not likely. but im still thinking things through. this blog will serve as a good forum for discussion.

ur only up for longterm coaching for ppl moving to sidney? ;o

Graduated college, am looking for a change of scenery, and would love this opportunity. I play live poker in florida, a little bit online, and work part time playing piano for a church (although I am a non-believer).

wobbly you are being way too greedy here, 50% for long term is just WOW, pooruser offered me a deal of like 25~35% long term, don't remember exactly a long time ago.....

did you even do the maths? 50% is v.low

also im covering rent which is a fk load

(I was told to post this PM here)

Im interested in your coaching, but I've got a few questions I hope you can answer.

How long will your students have to live in Australia for?
Will you be coaching your students individually or in a group?
Will you be paying your students monthly?
Will you be coaching FR, 6max or both?
Do you require your students to play a specific amount of hours per week?

Anyways, I'm 22 years old from Canada, Ontario. For the past year I've been pretty much living off online poker. I play nl100 FR, im currently crushing it at 4.6bb/100 over the past 110k hands.

I've been wanting to move up to nl200 for awhile now but I withdrawal alot to pay my living expenses and im not very good at taking shots at the next level.

Here's my PTR, it doesn't track my results 100%.

I'm from the USA and and if I can get some sort of visa I would come and stay and grind with you. I'm in school right now but i broke up with my girl a bit ago and would probably be down for this. Actually tried to move to Australia after high school.

I haven't played for income since last year when i was grinding 6max on cake and bought a car but we could play a set of 25/50/100 Hu sngs or something if you need to verify that im not retarded.

you didnt said you would cover rent in your 1st post which was all i read, that makes it much better ofc

but still i've talked with a lot of coaches and i've never heard anything above 35% for long term profit sharing, unless you also back them up ofc, which would make this much more interesting, like backing a broke NL10 breakeven reg into australia and teaching him how to be a winner on NL200+

I was rather expecting you to take few students, if u take 3-4 and run individual sessions that adds up and can become troublesome, especially if you still want to play yourself.

but he also has a 50k from his own pocket guarentee ;o

i guess when you put it all on paper it could be a very good deal

I dunno but this all seem rly cool to me xD

oh, and new bleach n naruto manga just out, wuhu

Don't have the balls to do this, even though I live up north in Norway, and winter is coming and it usually lasts 8 months with 3-4 months at - 20 and pitch black lol

meh i would probably do this if i wasn't in the military.
