    My buddy that I met by stacking at 100nl heads up ims me a few hours ago and lets me know he qualified for the 100 6max 30k guaranteed on FTP. So I pull up the table and start watching/coaching, and he pulls out 3rd!!!! Questionable shove at the end, but hell, one impressive performance versus some very, very solid players. Especially from a 12 turbo sng grinder, and someone who's just learning nlcash.

    Nice job CaptWardo!

    hey dude, just shouting out a congrats to a big score from a guy who really deserved it. His game wasn't strong enough on its own to destroy as many good players as he did, but it was really cool to help him and watch him outplay some highly successful players.

    So, are you trying to make him look like a child or are you really that full of yourself?

    first it was nice, then after I settled down after the biggest cash of my life and actually read what he said... it was mean. Decided it wasn't worth the harsh words. TY Fife...

    if he had the T8 and sucked out against my AA for over a 100k(2nd place stack) pot with 20 or so left. Tell him i hate him, as I needed 2nd to get unstuck on the day.

    lol flame me all you want, but this is exactly why p5's <<<<<<< any other poker forum. Instead of just being congratulatory, I get flamed. I don't lie. Wardo wouldn't have gone that far without me coaching, he himself said it. Probably why he shipped me $270 after the win as well. I just posted the thread because I was excited that he/we could pull a 3rd out, because I rarely play MTTs, Wardo plays sngs, and the field included guys like Rizen. Didn't mean to come off as cocky, just telling it like it is.

    So was this intended to be a brag post for Wardo, or for yourself?

    Say what you will, you came across like a huge douchebag pal. Your follow-up posts just cement it. Glad to see you at least edited the OP.

    Do you want Wardo to be congratulated, or do you want to be congratulated? Well sir, you're an absolute moron...CONGRATULATIONS!

    I think it would be appropriate for us both to be congratulated...I also didn't edit the OP whatsoever, so I'm not sure what you're talking about there.

    I guess my point is that P5's isn't really a poker forum. It caters to tourneys only, and only 1 of the 4 forums actually contains anything based on improving as a player...hand advice. Occasionally gems pop up in Poker Discussion, but not a whole lot, and when they do its basically only about tournaments. This is probably why I haven't/won't be posting here much, as even a brag post (that's what this was, not just for Wardo but for myself) got torn to shreds. I don't profess to be a MTT master, as I play 100% cash, so I was just as excited as Wardo to see how my advice helped him battle through the ranks. Sorry to have made such a monumental blunder.

    p.s. There was once a post about how many p5ers are winning players, and I would argue that less than 50% are winning players.

    So you were coaching him while he was playing a tournament? Dont take this as a flame because it is not. I am just curious if this is standard to coach a player while they are in the middle of a tournament. What if any ethical questions does this pose? I am not sure if this is allowed or not, but my instinct would be to say that it should NOT be allowed. If in fact, this is what you did (clarification needed).

    Yes, he sent me an instant message when I turned on my comp saying he was deep in the FTP $100 6max 30k guaranteed tournament that he qualified for, and I pulled up the table and helped him out. He's a cool guy, and a sng player so I was helping him to understand some of the subtleties of nl cash, and thought I'd help him in this tourney as well.

    As far as ethics are concerned, yes this is a sticky situation. However, there are many coaches that you can hire online at sites like 3-bet.net that will do this same thing, whether it be in limit, nl, or tourneys. I'm not exactly sure where it stands ethically, definitely in a grey area. I didn't tell him exactly what to do in every situation, but there were times when I strongly suggested making certain plays. I basically tried to give him a greater understanding of playing off your image, restealing, and playing certain hands OOP. If this is actually forbidden by a poker site, I def. won't do it again, but I do not believe this is the case.
