 I
used to offer person-to-person tutoring, but not anymore -- well, unless you are Jessica Biel.
However, there are a few hundred articles on this site that offer lessons on a wide variety of general
(discipline,
self-control) and more specific
(Pot Limit Omaha Hi-Lo,
AQ Before the Flop in Holdem) topics.
These don't always breakdown into easy to categorize subject areas, but below I list some of the subjects covered.
An important thing to remember though is a poker education is a vibrant thing... you are never "done." Every time I play poker
I learn or relearn something new. Something you
may read now may make more sense after you play three more times, or after you read something else. Poker knowledge is like a spider
web... each individual thing looks weak and insubstantial, but everything is interconnected and when taken together it is very powerful.
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. The content here can help a person find and discover and
embrace important strategies, concepts and tactics that will lead
them to being a strong, solid, tough player. But, just because I write and someone reads that a person should 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!
