If you could attend the perfect poker course what would you want to learn?

Anything that will improve my game

the 'perfect' poker course would be 1 to 1, and tailor made for the individual.  I'm not sharing the rest of my thoughts just yet as it's something I've been giving a lot of thought to myself, but just pie in the sky at the moment.  I reserve the right to use anything posted on this thread for my research though ;D

The ability to get into my opponents mind

how to be like Rick Trigg.

I'd like to be able to resteal better.  I'm a coward when it comes down to this.

Will add more I expect

inter course please

how to run like LeKnave

How to level like Flushy

Lovin the sig btw :-)

I would like to learn how to improve my cash game as I reckon I am the worlds worst cash player.

how to get ladies to play strip poker (save me on strippers)

One on One tutoring with someone like Phil Galfond obv.

A course would need to be targetted towards learning generic skills unless it was long enough to get to know my game and tailor advice/training to my play. So basic poker theory, making moves and reacting to what others do would be a good start for a beginner.

You would need a set of courses from the very basics to more advanced play and I would prefer masterclasses in specific skills development. For example, Tighty spoke about his poker skills in his diary thread and for him there needs to have a mindshift as he seems to be holding onto a way of thinking thus a way of playing. He knows his theory but the behaviour isn't developing in tandem and it needs to. Behaviours are hard to change/ develop and involve taking risks. For tight players risk taking within a theoretical framework would be a sound course. Find a way to change attitude and behaviour and you've got a winner.

 For me the most challenging part of my live game has been working with chips and people....lol I've got much better and much more confident and I still have not played that much live. The skill I would want to develop would be to ignore people discussing my play at the table. I don't know why but I don't enjoy it. I put a guy out in a recent game where I called his all-in with my 77 against his AK. Later he was talking to this other guy(while the guy was still sitting playing) after I took a huge pot from him with a bluff. I predicted the guys hand and told him what I thought it was and he denied it, saying he had a big pocket pair on a low disconnected flop. He went on and on about his hole cards to other players and I was not going to reveal mines because I had nothing but the way this made me feel wasn't good - it upset my flow but on looking back maybe I predicted his hole cards correctly and freaked him out? I constantly read behaviours and in the cases where I may have got it wrong I would like to learn to drop it in my own head (although this guy wanted to keep the convo going) instead going over it to see how I got the read wrong and stop wondering what other players are saying about me and get on with my own game. This is important because I don't want to carry bad habits with me if I decide to play more and more live games.
 Also, I would like to ask people at the table talking to their pals not at the table to go away but I don't know the etiquette so for me a course would need to be on what behaviours are acceptable or not, what I can challenge or not and how to handle people that are obviously talking about my play as it sends my into hyperdrive - that might have been the redbull right enough....lol I am not shy and am a very confident person so why does this affect me? I know it's irrational but still a mental block I couldn't drop on 2 occasions its happened? Maybe you should come to my next live game and hypnotise me into not giving a damn? lol

How to run like the moomin

QFMFT!

BUT...Who would you choose as your personal tutor?
Who actualy understands all you would need to know?
Flushy would obviously choose Dave S and Michelle O...But who would you choose ...and why

Without knowing all the potential tutors how can you get a match for your own skills gaps? For me it would have to be someone who has a good grasp of live play psychology and I don't know anyone on Blonde well enough to be able to suss that out so I guess it would be trial and error? Some people you will click with, some you won't..........who would you pick and why?

Well of the people I know ..not including US superstars so..

Live ...
"El Blondie" for Tournaments....Reason ... top 10 in Europe for last 5 years.
And for cash?...Hmm don`t really need a tutor on that... I can scrape by.

Online...
Tournaments.....Chris "Moorman"...

Cash...John Shipley....seems to have a good grasp of what`s reqiured.

It's probably a good idea to get a tutor who matches your own style as well I'd guess.  So if you're a TAG player, a tutor who's TAG would probably suit better than someone who plays super loose.  Same the other way round.  Of course, it would be good to supplement this with the thoughts and advice from someone who plays differently as well.

obvious mistake you havent got me down there for the 14 card PLO8 cash

i would like 2 learn 2 fold and have bankroll management

I would like to learn how to rewind time and avoid the hand where I donk off all my hard earned chips.
