I've decided that I am going to start tutoring some players. Although I might at some point charge money for lessons, for now I'm looking to practice 1 on 1 instruction and looking for a student.

So, please use this thread if you are interested in getting private lessons. Please tell me about yourself, your goals, and why you think you would be a good fit. I don't care how experienced or inexperienced you are, so anyone can apply.

Good luck,
tc

EDIT: you can PM me if you want to say something that you don't want on the board. However, I really can't respond to PM's as I've had probably 125 or so. And if for some reason you have my email, please don't email me... I'd like to keep all the app's in one place. Thanks!!

Unless this is a gotcha post like the one I perpetrated earlier, I am interested. I simply want to learn the game better. I am an old guy, 42. Late starter. Goals are to enjoy the game to its fullest. Cant say why I would be a good fit, dont know what you mean by that. I know that you are primarily a cash game player and that is what I want to be better at. I dont want to be the supreme being of poker, just want to know it inside and out and enjoy the hell out of it when I play, knowing that I made the right decisions at the right time.

If it is a gotcha, good on ya.

I play almost exclusively tournies but am very interested in learning a good strategy for cash games. I play 20-30 hours a week now, but if I had a phoenom poker tutor such as yourself I would change my schedule to play a lot more in the future. I've been playing poker for 1 year and change, but only taking it seriously for about 4 months. I love to learn and play poker, so I would be an ideal student IMO. I'm very serious about improving my game and think I will benifit greatly from some 1 on 1 instruction from an online legend such as yourself. My goals are to become succesfull enough at poker to pursue my other interests in life without having to work 30 years to achieve them.

I'm a hard worker, somewhat intelligent, and eager to learn. The only thing I can guarantee is that you won't be wasting your time working with me. I've tried poker training sites and I don't think I get as much from them as most do, I like to be able to have conversations and discuss things instead of being "taught", so training sites are not my cup of tea. I've long felt that if I was close to a great player that I could discuss the holes in my game and how I should improve them I would be much better for it. If you're looking to mold the next GP I would probably not be a good choice, but if you want to work with someone that is interested in picking your brain and adjusting his style and the type of play he is comfortable with and your knowledge of the game I would be ideal for you.

I am 17 years old and no job

want to pay for college thru poker

I started playing serious 3 months ago with $60. I am not very good i 4 table .5/1 currently with a 3k roll and have been stuck at this level for what seems 2 months, I also play some turbo 55s and i am a winner at those so far, but i can tell im going no where without help i dont tilt out of limit at all, and would love to learn :)

Wow, free lessons from a great player like yourself, how could anyone not be interested.

I'm 18, and looking to make poker more than a hobby. Have played everywhere from .10/.20 nlhe to 2/5 nlhe both live and online anywhere from 1 to 10 tables.

Lately have been grinding low stakes sitngo's and very recently picked up omaha h/l and have been playing mostly that of late.

Would love to become a better nlhe cash game player however, as that is where all of the money seems to be.

hey.
im pooruser from ps, been playing for like 2 years. im glad to be at 10/20 now but i know my game lacks in some areas and ive still got miles to go.
thanks
steve

GP i would love to be your student, i always watch when you are on if you are playing, and i like your style, read most of your articles, and am a big student of the game, i read a lot of poker books, and posts here and on 2+2 and try to watch most of the top players and see how they play their hands they have (when they are flipped over on the showdown)....it would really mean a lot to be a student of one of the best cash game and online poker players of all time

i started playing 7-card stud about 4 years ago, and became facsinated with all games about 3 years ago...and really learned how to play limit-holdem first, then nl...and now im playing a lot of poker as i work and in the process of transferring schools to become a CPA hopefully, i got my real estate license but only do that part-time...i have a lot to learn and learning from you would be great! thanks for taking the time to read this. good luck to you and to whoever you choose!

Would a pic of my manboobs win emily the contest?

I would love an opportunity to learn from one of the best! I recently cashed out most of my bankroll and am trying to start over. Ive never been a great cash game player though, but i love the game and would be willing to do whatever it takes to get better. I have plenty of time on my hands to learn and get better. My goal is to be able to play poker for a living and I think i would make a good student. I have had some success, most of it being in tournys but lately ive been in a slump and this sounds like the perfect thing to get me back and track. If you consider me I would do whatever it takes. Its not everyday one the best players offers to take someone under his wing.
Edit.. Im 24 yrs old and have been playing poker for about a year and half and unfortunatel I'm not a CR member at the moment.

WOW someone's going to be super stoked!

I would love to learn from you. I am a Cardrunners Member. Ive been playing poker for 9 months. I blew about 1k in the first five months before i started to actually work on my game and practice proper bankroll management. Started winning when i deposited $50 on fulltilt and took off from there. Im now have about 30k in my roll. I mostly play 5/10 nl. I think I would be a good fit because i clearly have the potential but defintely have leaks that could be fixed by someone as knowledgeabale as you.

Goal- I want to be playing 25/50 by june or sometime over the summer.

6 months ago i started with $25 and have built that up into a very nice bankroll. ive always struggled in cash games, and would really like to learn more and fill holes in my game. I dont have any specific monetary goals, i just know if i fill a few holes the sky is the limit.

21 yr old multi player, think cash games are completely different and havent been able to come out ahead often in them. would like to get more insight into how to beat cash games.

My name is Gabriel. I'm 32 years old, happily married. I've played poker as a full-time job since November of 2005. I started with a $1000 BR playing at .25/.50 NL and have since worked up to playing $10/$20 NL full ring games. I don't play many tournaments, I do better in the cash games. I'm intelligent, and am able to master concepts once I understand them. I'm definitely a TAG player. I know that's not your style, but I want to broaden my scope. I have learned a lot this year, but have a lot to learn.

I'm easy to get along with, a good communicator, and highly motivated.

Thanks for your time,

GabrielSlade
