Simplified the OP since there has been some confusion. If you forget to do this from time to time, you are still eligible to win!

Your twitter of FB will not be public unless needed to verify you as a winner and will privately be checked.

To get the ball rolling today, this is all you have to do(along with posting "Done")!

I'll give at least 50% of the coaching away.

It's kind of sad there are only ~100 participants site wide.

If this wasn't a crucial time to step up up the effort, I don't know when else it would be. This takes literally 30 seconds, even if you don't care about the contest. We may have some other coaches giving things away, so if you do care, I'd get your daily tally going now.

I'm working on some adding some other coaching prizes, but that still means probably only 20-25 people will have a chance, so get in now!

I'm happy to announce we're adding one additional prize thanks to the generosity of one of the best SNG coaches out there, jaxtraw.

Jaxtraw is donating a 90 min lesson. For more details, see the OP.

Thanks again to Jaxtraw, and welcome to the fight!

We are gaining a lot of momentum on the battlefront. Our opposition from a year ago appear amenable to a regulated domestic online poker industry. We can not back off now and must press even harder.

Playing on second tier sites where the software, traffic , and customer service is substandard makes playing not enjoyable. Playing with these issues, then also factoring there is a decent chance of not getting paid makes playing on these sites moronic.

Please do what you can to support the cause, it is in your own best interest.

This thread needs to get some momentum rolling! Poker is a serious part of many peoples lives both socially and financially. I don't see why this form of gambling is frowned upon, even after the disasters of late.
