I still don't get what the point is of a side bet. I'm not going to quit you. Anytime you are online and I am online, I will play.

My online personality wasn't what was in question.

I wouldn't expect anyone to come to the defense of that.

And you do realize I just posted multiple contradictory statements that you made in those quotes right? Didn't think you were that dumb that I would have to spell it out for you. Or are you just ignoring them and trotting along?

The well wasn't 'fake'. All the advice I gave out in that was good solid information. Seeing as how I was giving out all of that information for nothing, I didn't see anything wrong with making a post letting people know that I coach--it seemed like a win-win. I didn't know the rules of the forum. Didn't understand that what I was doing wasn't allowed or that it was looked down on.

And on me "overcharging unaware players"... here is a quote from a post I made earlier in this thread...

Rates are dependent on the market, not on the person who is coaching's hourly. I also posted that I misspoke in that video when I said 200/hr, that I meant to say 200/90 minute session. That still is fairly on par to my hourly playing.

can't get to 3rd page.

As thought all along, Marshall is trying to pull out.

Why would you not want to put a side bet down and be forced to play loads of hands given what you wrote below?

you be around this afternoon?

Had 2-3 sessions with Marshall. Didn't continue because of my own personal problems and stuff but I remember I liked the sessions because :
- he had a direct and not so nice way of telling me I sucked in the video I provided for review . Also he said he wanted players that worked hard and were serious about poker because he didn't want to waste his time and my money .
- he asked me a lot of questions ... put me to the test to see if I got things right and pushed me to do more etc.

Don't know why he gets flamed around here ... prob there is a reason . I had a nice interaction with him last year .

Thanks for the support.

I know I lack tact in those sessions, and while I didn't mean to be hurtful, I do feel it's my responsibility to be very upfront about my thoughts as to how you are playing and where you need to improve. I don't believe I came right out and said "look dude, you suck". But I'm sure if I didn't think you were a winner in the games you were playing that I would suggest you move down in stakes until your play improves.

What kind of coach would I be if I was afraid of hurting your feelings and not being honest with you about your play? Usually I'm upfront about that before I even start coaching someone that I may have to tell them things like that so I am sure I prepared you for it at least a little bit.

I'll definitely keep in mind to try to be more tactful in the future though, so thanks for the feedback on that.

Playing live all day today zach. Whenever I log onto merge I'll look for you.

unbelievebly marshall actually appears to be making a comeback ITT. Never would have thought...

I've played Marshall plenty of times hu to start tables. Pretty much all of our matches were a huge variance fest, but fun nonetheless. He's one of the few who still starts games these days and he's definitely a winner.

His personality on twoplustwo does come across douchetastic when hes discussing hands at times, but whatever. I never understood why people gave legitimate advice on hands posted anyways esp from those who don't contribute regularly but ill digress.
