It would be fine if this job had longevity but all signs point that each year you're going to be worse off.

Long term deals are fine also if they actually provide decent value. If jungleman hit me up and said come live with me, study poker and for the rest of your poker career you give me 50% of your winnings I'd snap call that. My friend used to do 1.5-2 year deals in HU cash where he staked + coached players, but he immediately put them in midstakes games which means he provided them a bankroll upwards of $30K, best of his students made $400-500K per year. Obviously these were already proven winners who got to work with him.

But yeah, market sets the price so if they can get people to slave for them in bull**** deals, more power to them. Maybe they let pretty much any random guy join so in that sense it's not that bad. If you have decent track record in other games and anyone offers you a deal that's more than 15-20K games I would just laugh in their face. It's not that complicated game, there are plenty of ways to study so there is no real reason to take such a deal unless you're a lazy bum and in that case you deserve that kind of deal.
Nice post.

That deal looks more stringent and longer than the norm, but did anyone actually look at the player's previous threads/posts? He was playing micros for years, started several goals threads and quickly gave up on them. Codecci talking about 100k ceilings and stuff and the actual subject in this thread is a guy that was posting $3 HUSNG hands late last year....

Honestly it actually seems mutually beneficial based on the general information I see. Guy was likely not a consistent winning player, couldn't consistently stay out of micros for several years, now he at least has what you assume is a winning strategy to follow, a bankroll and support. Sure he gives up half his winnings for up to 2 years, but it sounds worlds better than his previous 3 years of play on his own.

Dunce, I think hourly coaching works out for both parties a far smaller % of the time than a % deal with a coach (which usually means staking).

Success is just so much better aligned when a coach gets paid based on the success of their student. I think that's also why a lot of stables pay their coaches in % and not an hourly rate. The coach is hurting themselves directly and immediately if they mail it in or don't take it as seriously as they should be.

I think your points 1-3 are pretty solid. I think you and codecci are talking past each other a bit. His post seems exclusively NOT about #s 1-2, and more about 3 or a hybrid of 3; a more experienced, more successful and more self motivated player. I think his points are more valid for that.

This point, especially the first statement, is 100% not valid.

coffeeyay, I mean compared to other poker formats. I'm aware that you can go pretty deep in strategy in Spins and there are still alot of new strategies developed and edges to be found. I meant that an average guy can get pretty damn good in Spins with elite material in just 2 months or so, which is much more complicated to do in cash games and probably MTT-s.

Yeah, I agree here, but I do think coaching is a viable solution in some of those cases.

Agree with this too, for the third group or highly self-motivated, competent learners a long-term stable deal is probably best only occasionally, and usually other options are better.

This is what I do 3 handed. Some people probably do better but it'll give you an indication of what sort of numbers you can do 3 handed.

1,37*0,33 + 3,01*0,33 + 31,84*0,33 = 11,95 adj. bb/100

Which is either completely nuts, or a too small sample size. I'm not sure this is sustainable, but still well done.

Sample size is about 3k games over the last couple of months, since I started playing 60s again. Could well be too small a sample, I don't know tbh.

Anyone got more info about this Spinball promotion? Seems daily rewards range from 7$ to 50$ in EV "based on previous gameplay." but there doesn't seem to be specific info about what "previous gameplay" means.

It changes the "minimum stake required" -- there are tiers for minimum stake $1, $7, $30, and $100 and the rewards change commensurately. The average daily reward for clearing both tiers is something like $1.5, $7, $20, and $50 depending on the stake tier. Presumably, your previous gameplay determines the stake your challenge is seeded into. Hope this helps.
