Paying It Forward

A little over five months ago, I applied for Taylor's "Protege" program, and on November 7th, I was announced as one of the 2 lucky winners. At the time, my regular games were $100NL and $200NL, and with Taylor's help, I have been able to comfortably move up to $1000NL. I am very fortunate to work with Taylor; he has been incredibly instrumental in developing my game and making me a better player. I feel the time has come for me to pay it forward.

So with that said, I am accepting applications. I am looking for 2 students whose regular game is $25NL to $100NL, and who have joined CardRunners prior to today's date. Please feel free to tell me as much about yourself personally and poker-wise as you like. I would prefer that you contact me either via PM on CR, or by e-mailing me at hyperaggrdonk@yahoo.com . I hope to have my 2 students chosen by the end of the month, and starting our first lesson on May 1st.

I am happy for the opportunity I was given and I only hope I can do Taylor justice by helping 2 people reach their poker goals, as he continues to help me reach mine.

Thanks,

Nice break...

I've had a nice break from poker for almost 2 weeks now. I played almost 60k hands in March, and had a great month, but it left me a little bit burnt out. Starting out April, I felt I was only bringing my A- game to the tables. So I have drastically cut down my play; I've played about 3k hands so far for the first 2 weeks of March. Just taking it easy and playing ABC at 1/2 and 2/4... low stress relaxed poker. No 8-12 table madness for hours on end.

That said, I am geared up to start playing regularly again, so look for me to get back to 3/6 and 5/10 with a refreshed poker mind.
