Hello All,
Is anyone interested in helping me along to become a better player? I
have been playing for over 4 years, but mainly recreational. Recently
I have been having a difficult time turning even a small profit form
the limits I play @ B&M casinos.
I have read a few books (Hellmuth, Sklansky, Harrington, Gordon, Caro)
and learned a little, but am wondering if anyone is interested in
helping me become better.
I am a professional investigator working for a law firm, make under 50k
a year, am 29 and am in school for Internet Technology, have a
girlfriend with no kids, play small LHE stakes at B&M casinos, play
small 10.00 buy in tourneys with friends and play free roll MTT NLHE
tourneys online.
I am not interested in playing online for money except for fun with
everyone on here and the occasional tourney, but more so want to focus
on tourney and cash game play in live games.
If anyone is willing let me know. And please do not take offense if I
ask some of the other people on here if the person interested in
helping is really good enough to do it.

I had a chat recently with the only person I know who makes a living playing poker.
I don't know how well he does but he's been at it ten years and drives a $150,000 car
and owns a 55 foot yacht.
We asked him if he would sell our club a few hours of his time for tips.
He said not to bother. He said if you read the poker books it's really ALL about the
math UNLESS you know the people you are playing with.
He said, study the odds and play them, that's what he does. If you read people well,
and get a chance to use the skill that's just a bonus.

A lawyer?
Let me check my Limit Hold'em Cheat Sheet.
Call with Ace, King, Queen suited, any pair, Q-5+, J-8+, Js-6+, 10s-7+, 9s-8,
10-9
If daring, Raise with: As-7+, A-9+, Ks-9+, K-J+, Qs-J, Pair of 5's or better
Limits: 10/20 minimum, or less than that on your way to a 10/20 miniumum
Buy-in for 40X the big bet.
2/4 buy-in for $160, double your money and double your stakes.

I wish I could help, but I am starting to wonder if I even know how to
play poker. I have seen very positive reviews for the help that Russ G.
has offered people. If you ever need help with Internet Technology &
Internet Security, I would be glad to help..

I'll make your golf short game better. THAT I can promise ya.
Poker.......not so much.
and yes, I found some usefull strategies on Russ's website. I was one of
the lucky ones he gave a free temp sponsorship to. It's not like sitting
down with Harrington for a one on one session, but I did read some things
there that have changed the way I look at the game.
I'll let ya know the short term results as I see them. Too soon now.
