blonde poker forum

Hi Guys,

I get quite a few requests for coaching for PLO, however I chose never to do it because I dont believe I can offer value at the money I'd want to charge (if that makes sense) however I am going to do a one time offer, over the next two months for the benefit of a charity :)

The Offer

I am going to sell an unspecified amount of sessions (75+15mins total roughly) I will start with a chat about what you want, if its me to sweat you, you to sweat me, us to look over a ton of hands, look at the stats or for me to show you my hands etc whatever you would prefer and we think will be most beneficial, interesting and enjoyable for you.

SO we might decide to just rail me play for an hour and I'll explain my thought processes as I go, or I'll open my poker tracker (I know dirty words !!! ;) ) and show you hands I think are interesting and explain why I did what I did when I did it, we can do anything (within reason, god knows what some of you will have me do!)

IMPORTANT

This really is suitable for anyone of any experience, if you are very new to plo, even if you dont have any of your own hands saved, if you are very new to poker even any level of poker knowledge is abso fine, if you just wanna learn a bit more about PLO (or the way I view PLO at least :p ) I'd actually really enjoy talking to some people are un-involved but interested in PLO right now as hopefully will get a few people into enjoying the game I love ;)

The cost of this will be £100, and it will be donated to a charity (will explain further in a second)

Why I feel qualified to offer this

Firstly, I get asked for coaching on a regular basis by people, I refuse always for mainly the reason I stated (I don't believe that a price exists where it's value for both parties - the amount I think is value to the customer is an amount below what I would like to charge - after all as a poker player all i have is what I know, and I spent a long time and lost a decent amount of money learning what I now know so I'm precious over sharing it.)

I have been playing online PLO for 4 years now, and it took me a long time to get to grips with it (I was a bad player for a long time prolly despite early successes) but in the last 12 months I think my game has rocketed and I am confident describing myself as one of the best regular players on ipoker (where I play) at stakes between 1/2 and 10/20. I've been a consistent winner at these stakes for 2 years, boasting 3-4bb/100 win rate over big samples across the stakes.

The Charity

A very close friend of mine has been working with the charity "Cure Rett" for the last year and it's a fantastic charity which was founded by parents of children with Rett Syndrome which can be a paralyzing and life damaging syndrome for children, this group from whitby raised £10,000 earlier this year doing the London Triatholon and are targeting £3,000 for their next crazy assault course attempts, the last one being in early september. It's a lot of work and my friend has worked so hard trying to organise it all that I would like to help her/them reach their targets.

£100.00

+ £25.00 Gift Aid

Top guy am posting to remind me to come back to this if I can scrape together the £100

I don't even play PLO much anymore, I find it a bit too confusing when playing PLO8 at the same time, but will give it a go. 

Great that you are doing this.

PM me we'll sort something out.

Hey mate, I know some people who would want this. I'd even be happy to pay for them! Dem Skypes.

Lovely, thanks Adam.

I'm in for this, great idea Dave.

Definitely going to get involved.

Excellent - look forward to this :)


Excellent :)

Really nice idea and as silly as it sounds... I'm proud of you for doing it!

Might get myself a beginners PLO session!
Imagine the kind of carnage I can cause with 2x as many hole cards!

there is a chance releasing JB into the world with 4 cards could cause more damage then any charity can handle :D

Imagine if it could be harnessed? it could be magical....

Noone tell jb, but...

You can get up to SIX hole cards in this game!

The money would need to be spent on a charity to help those who have discussed strategy with JB on PLO.

In!

Rusty as a bag of spanners but what a lovely gesture & a great cause. Top man.

any more takers?! Charity calls!

Looking forward to my session at 5pm today. Very much so in fact.

Donation complete :)

Can you coach me how to write betterer?

1.  betterer 


better than better. Often used when trying to trump someones belief that one thing is better than another.

Dave: Google is better. Sally: Yahoo is betterer.

Thoroughly recommend Mr Nicholson as a PLO coach. Very enjoyable and useful. Thanks Dave!

Thanks Alex.

Offer remains open can prolly do 2 or maybe 3 more.

Total raised so far £1,315 :-) gd work blonde

Yes please lil d

Great idea Dave. i've donated. Speak on Skype soon.

Brilliant, thanks Sammy x

Hit me up Flushy, had another inquiry via PM so if both those come in takes the total to £1,615. would love to do a few more before Xmas.  Its a great cause it really is.

Con confirm have hit the £2k mark :) I've been invited to a lil jolly up with the charity people next week and just wanted to pass on a big TY to everyone for their support. I've actually had a lot of fun doing it + feedback's been good so I'm thinking a successful venture all round!

Just a few more to do :)

Will be happy to do a couple more if anyone else would be interested  :)up

Many thanks Dave for the coaching and well done on the fund raising.

Still have Doobs to do then I'm done.

Will look to do again 5 more spaces in Feb when I have a bit more time. Thanks agains everyone :)
