TIPS
THE INTERNATIONAL POKER SCHOOL

1st Seminar September 12th 2009 @ The Village Hotel, Hertfordshire

 

 

TIPS offers poker players a chance to not only improve their game and go to the next level but also to play against Europe’s best pros for big prizes and entry into the world’s biggest tournaments.

 

We guarantee that the best player of the day will get much more back then just his course fee.

 

Over the next 12 months we’ll be offering courses all over the UK with a target of providing players with different specialist courses to accommodate all types of players and every kind of poker game.

 

TIPS will open this September with our launch being taught by some of the most recognized names in the poker world.

 

Paul “Action Jack” Jackson, Julian “YoYo” Thew, Marc “Mr. Cool” Goodwin, Nikhil Persaud, Carlo Citrone, Liv Boerre  and Paul Zimbler will all be available to teach you their secrets.

There are a many other big names joining TIPS to help and teach you in the future. See website for details.

 

Hosted at the Village Hotel in London this full-day course will provide you with:

 

·          Three sessions each one with different professional players

·          The ability to ask the pro’s any questions you want

·          Sit & Go Tournaments with the pro’s to practice your skills and win prizes

·          A final Shootout Tournament with seats to the WSOPE side event on offer

·          Food & Drink

  

This event costs only £325 but you’ll have to hurry as the day is being capped at just 50 players.

 

So if you want to reach that next plateau, play against the best or just to have a lot of fun then visit (their Website)  and purchase your ticket.  

 

We hope to see you in September.

I have Deleted a Link from the above Post, as it was affiliate-full.

You can work out the Web Address easily enough.

does that mean yoyo wont be at the bash

have blonde ever considered running anything similar? could be good earner in terms of ticket sales and publicity, and we've surely got enough decent players onboard to make it a success? I'd go!

Lol. We did - & you won it! I think.

We got Catman to organise it (groan, THAT was a big mistake) & Dave Colclough & other notables were there dispensing advice.

And the whole thing was free. (Because you could never sell tickets to these sort of things).

Who is Paul Zimbler?

oh yeah :D Was that not just a launch for something that didn't really take off though (sort of private lessons rather than a one off jolly thing)?

Did Sky not charge for tickets when something similar was run by them?

The blonde thing was called "blonde MasterClass". We did about £4,000 that night. Marv.

The Sky Boot Camp, to which you refer, did charge, but that amounted to the Tournament Entry Fee, & the Mentors (Kara Scott, Matt Broughton & Nick Wealthall) were thrown in for free. Sort of.

from their website;


some nice names in there...hope they come up north sometime..

?????????

Its hard to tell from the list, is that a mixture of the instructors and the students?

Lol, i dare you to guess which is which.

lolz 15 names there, we pick 6 each for worst and best?

Given I hardly ever play live, i am going to suck at this but I will do it for the laugh. Plus if I offended anyone it won't matter, cos I don't know them

Was thinking via PM rather than on the thread, lozl

FK that, on the thread plz.........

I'll do my 6 best on thread longy can do his 6 worst?

Lol go on then you go first with the best 6 though and i will  pick 6 from the remaining 9 for worst.

that's no fun. it needs the potential for crossover, you need to do your lists without seeing each others

I'm happy to act as a PM escrow, both send me your lists and I'll post them together

ha heaven:

John Tabatabai
Julian Thew
Nikhil Persaud
Neil Channing
Praz Bansi
Paul Parker

Obv i just gone for the best poker players rather than best instructors.

They are in no particular order.

seems fair enough.

norr. you've made longy's job too easy. now he's not going to pick any of those on his list

you've picked the same 6 I was thinking of though

I can confirm that none of those 6 would have been in my worst.

In alphabetical order

Liv Boeree
James Browning
Carlo Citrone
Ryan Fronda
Michael Greco
Paul Zimbler

I ummed and aahed about my last couple of choices, how close am I to your 6 Flushy?

Ha i deleted all the tez players and it left me 7 names, nice and easy!

the 3 brummies don't make either list then

Just got this on MSN:

" I had to check my calendar when I saw that zimbler thread to make sure it wasn't april"

It may well be that the worst players on the list are also the best instructors.

James used to be excellent putting ideas across so beginners could understand them on PNL and Carlo was good on Sky Poker.

The best players aren't the best teachers by any means.

Deffo i think Jackson in my top 2/3 instructors.

Just about worked out my worst 6

[  ] Will post it.

You are probably right as an ex teacher myself, there were excellent teachers who didn't have a great background in their subject and vice-versa. Just playing along with the game, which basically means trying to get Flushy to say who he thought was worst out of that group.

I don't know why people get all arsey if you say you think they are a bad player.

It is a GOOD thing if people think you are bad player (unless you are looking to get staked lol).

Depending on what sort of bad player they think you are they will be raising your blind light, or 3 betting you light or folding pretty big hands against you etc etc.

Ego is the most expensive failing in poker. The only person who has to think/know you are a good player is you yourself.

Can i go on this course? i need how to win a pot?

[X] lol

cus im bored i'll give u my own rundown on the players from my own experience.

Actionjack: mentored me through my breif time at bad beat, excellent instructor, not played with him enough to judge his playing ability.
zimbler: seems a good crack on the tables, and one of the better commentators on C5 shows.
Liv Boree: never seen or played a hand with her.
Julian thew: dont think ive ever played a hand on his table but great bloke, dont know him that well but came out of his way to sit with me at the venetian for a chat.
Nik Persuad: probably rate him as the best player of the bunch ive played with, nice bloke to boot and has the mix of poker/fun about right.
James browning: played with him a few times and would hazard that he's a lot better live than online, great bloke and would go out of his way to help any begginers/novices.
Channing, not played with neil but he did buy a piece of me because flushy told him to, so big thumbs up there.
Carlo: we met quite a few times in vegas at the venetian, never met a man as determined to be a great player as carlo, he told me some pretty standard hands and was disappointed at his play when it seemed like he made the right play.
Greco. Played with micheal on the tribeca network and he is loads better live than online.
Fronda: seems way too tight playing MTT's dunno if he plays cash or not.
Paul parker: would maybe struggle to make a living playing online, his speechplay is really good, and you couldnt meet a nicer bloke.
Praz: infact gotta be the best player of the lot, dont know him well, seems quiet and lets the poker talk. Out of all the others i would least want praz at my table.


tbh if drinks wre included i might pay the money just to have some bantor.

trigg fancy going to this any just make a nuisance of ourselves and get drunk!

Love all the free info on offer after a hand is played when players feels compelled to explain to the table exactly why they made a bet or a call.

Live boree is the best female player on the circuit by a mile, probably in the top 20 players in the UK.

ill go cause i need the help m8.

Is it meant to be an AA meeting? if so i i need it!

you not going to the bash?

There speaks a very wise man. Lol at rest of thread fighting the itch to get involved.

I have to take issue with this though i just disproved it. I just talked my backer into a stake for a pretty soft HORSE tourney with these 2 gems.

"I'm a star in half the games and i've still got an edge on this field"

"It's just like the 8 game but without any of the games i'm any good at"

Curious as to what you guys think of Marc Goodwin?

Never played against him but from what I've seen on TV his play doesn't seem to resonate with that of most of the other sponsored players around.

overrated imo

Would be great to see some if not all of you there.
We are giving away 5 seats...........All you have to do is register your details for FREE on the site and on the 7th sept we will email the lucky 5.

If you have any other questions feel free to contact me:)

yeah will you be at the blonde bash?

Forget about International Poker Schools can you please coach me how to nail chicks like Lacey Jones kthx

LOL

I wonder how this went?

It certainly had an impressive & eclectic range of Instructors, if indeed they all attended.

It always kinda pains me to see relatively hot girls "instructing" about poker. I have met liv and she seems like a nice girl. Do i think she has ever had reason enough to immerse herself properly in the pretty deep theory, hard work and hundreds of thousands of hands to get good at the game, no. I kinda think these "glam" women are fine for poker in general, but in an intructional capacity, not a chance. Hope this went well and wish it every success though, some very talented players in the list- namely Praz and persaud, infact Persaud is ideal as he has natural confidence, deep understanding and tournament results.

Nice wording sir rotflmfao
