Poker Lessons - Tutoring



A poker education is a vibrant thing... you are never "done." Even though I learn (and re-learn) valuable concepts from discussions, I don't seek students. So, I charge a lot. And I differentiate between general poker study ($250/hour) and what I'm asked about more: Omaha tournament tutoring. That is more expensive -- $1000 for two hours, $500/hour after that. We can work in person or phone. (You can see more of Shirley on her Poker Babes site.)

Tutoring isn't really the right word either. I believe for a person to truly learn poker, a process of self-discovery must take place. Great players are empowered by knowledge and creative thought, not memorization and regurgitation. I can't "tell" you how to win at poker. I believe I can help a person find and discover and embrace important strategies, concepts and tactics that will lead someone to be a strong, solid, tough player. But, just because I can tell a person not to bet a million dollars on a pair of twos, that doesn’t mean they won't go ahead and bet the twos anyway. Players have to learn to think, and do, for themselves.

It’s an old cliché to say if you give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day, but if you teach a man to fish, he'll eat for a lifetime. This applies to poker learning. If you just do as some book or chart says, without understanding why you do it, even if it is the correct thing to do, all you are doing is eating for the day. You haven't learned to fish. Learn to fish -- instead of being one!

Now that you read that, I'm swamped with too many projects so the vast majority of people reading this should seek help elsewhere. If Laura Prepon or Shannon Elizabeth is interested on the other hand...
