Hi I'm a self-proclaimed genius.
So, if someone want's to help me excel my game, that would be appreciated. I think I'm a genius, but I just never give a **** about anything.
I am a University student in Canada. I've played poker since I was ..what.. 14, here and there. Took it seriously when I was 16, a nice lady gave me 10 dollars, I turned it into approx. 650. Cashed out, and invested about 300 back in, losing most of it. So I quit, started playing freerolls here and there, won a couple... (winning like 30 dollars) on party poker, etc. Then there started to be less and less freerolls; I quit investing time into a game I couldn't afford.
I started again first year of University, rusty, turned 20 dollars into 140, withdrew, and once again stopped playing.
That summer I found a new site I liked, Titan Poker, and lost probably around 100 bucks. Invested into a 6 dollar tournament. (I usually stuck to cash games, only playing in freeroll tournaments). Won the tournament, $1,300, was enough to make me not work all summer and enjoy a summer of boozing and partying.
I stopped playing after this also, as mother kept saying I had a gambling problem, but I think she just wanted me to use my money more wisely and productively, because she said I had a drinking and partying problem also.
Last summer I discovered that the Casino's have cash tables, 1-2 NL Hold'em (they used to only have limit poker before, I hate limit). So I started investing my money here. Probably lost about $120 playing all summer, not including the 300-400 I lost at blackjack or other stupid games while waiting for a table spot to open. I figured losing $120 was decent, I learned a lot, I think. I would pick up on hands that people tended to play, how they played them, etc.
So overall, I've probably lost more money than invested into poker, maybe, it's hard to tell, but it's fairly even.
I go to a Canadian school, and have realised Canadian education kind of sucks. I want to attend Columbia for my MBA in business once I finish my undergrad in Canada.
Problem: I never gave a **** about school and have a 2.7 GPA first year, and a 1.8-1.9ish 2nd year. I discovered marijuana 2nd year and the ultimate level of not giving a ****, about anything. By this I mean, leave school for a week and a half to go visit a girl back home. Not study for mid-terms, party before mid-terms, finals.
I am a genius because I will turn my 2.3 or whatever GPA into a 3.8+ within 2 years. I currently have a 4.0 average right now. It's quite amazing what going to class can do and studying a tiny bit. I will probably attend either Standford U. or Columbia, as my former program Director has ties with Columbia and is currently a prof at Stanford. He thinks I'm the greatest thing since "sliced bread". After my poor performance in year 2, I decided to step away from the schools business program, plus the fact that our director was leaving for Stanford. I messed up, clearly, but now I'm going to re-enter, graduate with my business degree and attend a real school, to make real business connections.
Now, I think I can be a solid poker "athlete" because of three main facts, I have experience, I've won and been successful and I can constantly go deep in freeroll tournaments involving 4000-10,000 terrible poker players.
Right now my goal is to win a PCA Main Event package without spending a penny. So far, I've placed in the top 50 3 times, just to win a ticket into he Main Event tournament.
I am unsuccessful because I need to learn more, does anyone want to take on this opportunity, teach me the specific details of poker?
We can talk about my game, but it varies, I bluff well, call bluffs fairly well, i play loose, I play tight, I play very tight, I change my style/game.
Thanks.

Hello everyone,
I am looking for a longterm coach for nl he 6max or 5max game (idealy with hu experience, as i want to learn hu to). As it should be for a longer period (3 months is the minimum) on a weekly basis, i don´t want to pay the coach for every single hour separately, instead of this i want to offer a winningshare on all hands i play in the coachingperiod (further details about the conditions are at the bottom of this text) paid monthly.
Some informations about me:
I am 25 years old and i am a student on a german university. I started playing poker 2 years ago, first sngs (about 2k sngs played) than as a shortstacker. As a short stacker i played all limits up to nl200 and overall something betwenn 300k-400k hands with a 2-4bb/100 winrate (depending to the limit). I lost my database of that time so i cant show you my graph, but half of the hands were played on full tilt and stars, my screennames are Triggering (stars) and Klabautermann84 (full tilt) for the ones who want to take a look at me at ptr or so.
The shortstackertime was last year, at the beginning of this year i started playing full stacked at nl10 und moved up till nl50 (overall ca 200k hands and again, without a graph). I needed to play as a semi pro, so my roll did not grow very much. because of cashing out monthly i could not move up.
A few months ago, i moved houses, because of this i needed to cash out nearly my entire roll and fell back to nl10. I spent the last month to grind me back to nl40euro (equal to nl50dollar) in about 50k hands and now i am back where i ended last time (the graph of those hands is shown below).
So why do i think that i need a longterm coaching?
As a shortstacker, i had a nice coach (winningsharedeal) who took care about my game for about three months with weekly u2u coachings, sessionreviews and a little homework from time to time. This was the time i learned the most about the game ever. It was a clear win/win situation for both of us, i moved up the limits much quicker than without him and increased my winrate and so his piece of the pie got bigger every month.
Now i am at a point in my live where i want to keep playing poker as a serious alternative to a 9 to 5 job which i would have to take after finishing my diplom at the university. This is not possible at nl50, i know that i am able to climb at least two limits higher only by learning by myself, but the past experiences showed me that i can climb those limits way faster with an experienced coach.
What am i aiming for?
I want to climb up the limits as far as i can get. Lets be realistic, i dont know what limit this will be. As you can see i have a lot of experiences in small stakes he (even 40k hands in plo.... but this was horrible, let us dont talk about that..), but nearly none in midstakes he, so it is up to the coach. If he says "move up, youre ready" then i will move up, if not, i wont. I dont want to be a break even grinder on nl x, i want to be a solid winner.
The basic conditions:
i have to play at least a minimum handcount every month to keep it profitable for the coach and he has to spent at least x hours (to be discussed) per week with my coachings. If the coach thinks that i am lazy or simply not good enough, he has the right to end the coachingdeal at any time. As i want to learn something, i wont spend my time masstabling to get the maximum handcount. I will play 4-6 tables . A monthly handcount between 30k and 50k is realistic to me. For all further details we have to talk personally.
Something about the coach i am looking for:
You should be a solid winner at at least nl600, better nl1k, i want to reach at least nl400, so it would make no sense if you are a regular at a lower limit. I know that it must seem a little bit overdosed, a nl50 grinder is asking for a nl1k reg to be his longterm coach, but i know myself and how hard i am willed to work on my game, to me it makes no sense to start with a coach from a lower limit in my particular situation.
If you are interested ,feel free to contact me at coaching@dicke-welle.de and please send me your skypenick.
Regards,
Gunnar
